Porter Cable polisher, not quite as simple as buying one and your paint instantly being incredible though..

If think you can just a significantly better in every way car for a new, first time driver then go ahead - but I doubt you will be able to.
The Focus 1.6 is an ideal car - it's not powerful enough to get him into any serious trouble as a new driver, but it isnt underpowered, it also has a decent enough specification as well.
Sure, better value cars full stop exist, but these tend to have larger engines which are not really suitable for new drivers.
Oh, and try finding out what a 'troll' is before you make any more stupid comments

More depends who your insurer is, I got bugger all for mine with tesco. Only gave me £125 back which just about covered what it cost me to do it. So debateably worth it for me.

Excellent first car, as fox said, a good polish will bring it up a treat.

You've always got an answer for everything.
The reason for my comment was because the car is something I'd go for and a reasonable and ideal choice.

Thanks for all the kind comments, i'm chuffed to bits with it.
Yes it does.
Now get rid of the HU for a new one. 
Also detango!A friend of mine had a relatively high speed impact in a Focus and walked away - the car was absolutely totalled. I don't know what the NCAP rating is but I'd be inclined to believe it's a very safe car.
Looks good and handles well too. Congrats.

.Directline, but i'm getting quite a bit of discount due to being a named driver on my mums car for the past six months, my mum having a directline policy and we have house insurance with them etc.Andr3w said:

Quinn Direct, try them.............my cars faster than yours, nur nur nur nur
Nice first car, I couldn't afford one but it was down as a firm 2nd choice

Interesting....
You see the airbox on the right hand side of the engine bay, there is no resonator coming off it to the right. I thought they were on all prefacelifts. There could be an open hole on the side of the airbox, espeically if it sounds quite loud.
