New cars are nearly 13 per cent more expensive than three years ago. In 2003, the average price of a Ford Focus was ÷£14,192, but in 2006 this has risen to ÷£15,938. That’s a jump of ÷£1,746, which works out to six times the rate of inflation.

Vauxhall"s upcoming Corsa has been spotted falling of the back of a lorry and our spies have managed to capture the car for the first time out in the open.
Debuting back in 2006, the latest generation of Corsa is long overdue a makeover. These pictures clearly show a facelifted vesion is on the way and it looks like it could be ready as early as next year!
From the images, the facelifted Corsa looks like it will get a subtley restyled front end.
But as well as getting a good look at the outside, our spies have also managed to get a glimpse inside the car. Keeping in line with the current versions smart and simple layout, the new car looks like it will continue on the same path, so expect good levels of standard equipment too.
The majority of changes are likely to happen under the bonnet though. And although details about engines are still a bit scarce, expect the usual mix of petrol and diesel units ranging from 1.0 up to 1.7-litres as well as plenty of eco models and a sporty VXR flagship.
