My wife has a 2006 Focus ST, which she loves (2.5 turbo 5cyl fuel consumption aside).

Good thing she likes cars as I can get away with having my boring comfy e36 323iA Sport touring and a 1.8 Zetec Westfield biggrin

Have a look into the 'official' Brabus chip from MB. A little pricey but very good apparently + warranty friendly. smile

The misses is in a Proton Satria GTI, lovely little thing and pretty nippy to boot.

The demonic ex is driving my old Toyota Levin!

My other half drives me up the wall, does that count? biggrin

Hmm, well my current other half still hasn't done her test at 24 years old - she did do some lessons, some professionally, some with me, but decided that she doesn't like cars and driving. So gave up on the idea, even though I think she's mad...

My two previous other halfs were better on this front:

Last one - Mercedes 500SL and Honda CBR600 bike.
One before - BMW Z3 and Suzuki GSXR 600.
