    YEUGH!!!!!!!!!! 1st one,original and best. By far and away the best looking hard or soft top. Each successive model is uglier,heavier and slower than the one it replaces. Just my opinion...

    I'll grab a seat on your bus too if you don't mind. I think it may fill up pretty quickly. The original was the best looking. The rear of the new one is slowly morphing into a Focus CC. Another thinkg I hate to admit is that, in my opinion, the new C30's front end (esp the little grille inserts near the fogs) is a bit Focussy too. I smell a theme here...

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

    Well they have finally ruined a good looking car... didn't take too long I guess. Time to find a dealer who still has an old model they can get hold of quick if you fancy a C30

    If you squint at the front, it's hard to tell it from a Focus.

    Dissapointment.

    I just want my T5! Who ever thought up R-design... it makes baby Jesus cry!

    R-design is just a rip off of all the Audi S-line concept:
