Hi guys! I need a bigger car to haul a lot more stuff (I now own a 1999 Corolla). I really like my corolla, super alaga and everything works great, power windows, alarm and all are still stock. Fuel consumption is a constant 10-12. I even soundproofed it and have a nice audio system.

However, I'm needing more space to carry my photography gear around for work. I've been trying to look around at what can haul more gear but is also matipid.

I used my sister's XTrail and it is awesome for space, I love the foldable seats too. BUT it is such a gas guzzler!

I'd love to get a new Tucson Diesel but I don't think I can afford it (I want the higher end model).

So now I'm looking at the Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI 5-Door. Price is about the most I can afford (I think it's 1.1M). It's getting good fuel efficiency and it SEEMS to have a pretty spacious cargo area! I can also use a roof rack for the other things I need to haul around.

I can't seem to find more info on the capacity though and configurations, like can the seats at the back fold up.

Can anyone tell me about the Focus, your thoughts and inputs? Thank you!
