haha thats nice to know!

 

one more week before collection, dealer going to send car to workshop this week to change timing belt and for servicing. Engine mounting was changed last week and lower fog lamp changed as well.

 

what gearbox is it using ? If its the old 4 spd auto, google up on the gear linkage issue. Small matter, but better to keep spares and cable ties on hand  [laugh]

 

oh, and the cabin filter is an ultimate BITCH to change. 

 

A very nice car to drive  [drivingcar]

 

If you want a SB, i can give you the link to seller

Been driving it for a few days. Feels rock solid. [thumbsup]

 

Gearbox should be 4 speed auto.

 

The trip computer looks too optmistic at 640km for full tank. [sweatdrop]

Think 500km-550kmi more like it for full tank

Been driving for a few days and computer now shows 390km plus.

 

Whats the average fuel consumption focus owners getting?

 

9.5 km to 10 km/l ?

 

Er whats SB??

Couldnt charge my gps when going into JB...

 

Anyway to rectify these problem, any workshop in particular that can help?

 

May consider installing sprint booster too since the acceleration is really slow..

have u tried really stepping on the accelerator?

 

rev to max power RPM?

 

sprint booster is not magic, has same effect as stepping more/faster on accelerator.

Will try stepping harder, should see the difference..

one saving grace for the Focus is that the engine doesn't sound like a washing machine or that it'll explode when u rev it high, unlike some models

Neutral Newbie

I m looking into getting a new focus however i am concerned abt the low demand n lack of popularity of the car.

 

Will this result in low resale value?

 

Will i have difficulty selling the car or suffer heavy lost in future?

 

Any ex-ford owners care to share ur tots?
