Advantages: Beauty, reliability, economy

Disadvantages: None

I have just reached my six month anniversary with my Ford Focus. I write this opinion in celebration for it has been a happy relationship. I was a little worried at the start because I began this affair of the heart while on the rebound from a Nissan Primera. (I still cannot believe how a car can be so spiteful and cause so much pain.) I just didn't want to be hurt again.

I was first attracted to my Focus because of her looks. Being an estate she had a fuller figure than most, but she looked so young and pretty with her cute triangles and graceful arcs. As I held her gently by the wheel and gazed upon her instruments, I could see the quality of her design in every line. And as we drove home together I knew that I could rely on her for comfort and sure footed stability, even when the road ahead had many turns and bumps.

Perhaps the greatest surprise however has been her reliability. I could have forgiven one so beautiful for letting me down occasionally. But so far she has shown no great desire to return to the garage. Consider my anger therefore when some uncaring oik deliberately pushed a shopping trolley into her side in the Asda car park. I wept at her disfigurement and did not rest until she had been restored to pristine glory.

Since then she has repaid my care in full. There have been no histrionics and no breakdowns. Nor is she an expensive car to keep. She has quietly gone about her business in an efficient and refined manner. She can be quite racy when she wants to be, but she never becomes harsh or undisciplined.

I know that six months is not a long time for a relationship of any kind. We are still finding out about each other. However, the wounds given to me by the Primera have almost healed and I can say with some sincerity that my new love has been responsible for that. I am sure that we will enjoy a long and happy affair.

The only problem we still have to face as a couple is how to deal with the jealou
sy of my wife.
