#Ford focus drivers#
Another is the height of the drivers seat. Ford pressure tested ours, all good, but replaced with new gasket anyway, at their expense, regardless.
#Ford focus full#
Love the fact it is a full manual, it has so much torque however that you can leave it in 3rd if you feel lazy.Ĭommon comments about the car were the head gasket concerns.
#Ford focus full size#
We have now sourced a full size spare, got a jack and brace, that we carry when travelling in more remote areas. The lack of a spare tyre proved an issue.
Road trains encountered used to bring a concern, in the RS they are dispatched with effortlessly. Our recent trip was 4100 km in 9 days, did not miss a beat, never has. It has been taken to Victoria, Tasmania (absolutely awesome), outback NSW and Queensland. Ours gets used for the weekly grocery run, trips through weekday traffic, then road tripping. The grip it generates is phenomenal, every driving style seems so effortless for the vehicle. I have absolutely no dramas with its behaviour, it happily plods along when required, then, snap, away it goes when the right foot gives it a go. The RS looks balanced, purposeful and well presented.Īs the RS was to be a daily driver, I was a little concerned about Sydney traffic. The Nitrous Blue and tyre package were no brainers for me. I had not test driven the car, instead I read many test drives and watched many video reviews before I committed to buy. As it turned out I had it in my driveway after 4 months. Initially I was told there might be a wait of 8 months for delivery. By the last 7 week turnaround with no replacement driving vehicle or loaner car in the time being, I was offering up the way to repair the car and get it back to me soonest and they didn't heed my advice to boot and ended up admitting it was good info to help get it fixed! I say screw Ford and I will have to avoid any Ford that would have been a car of mine in my family for years to come.I brought my 2017 Focus RS brand new. I say there is no worse company from the inception of my purchase up until the last service that I had to be charged exorbitant fees for keyfobs that I could have replaced as a leiman or not knowledgeable about the issues at hand. Big shout out to Newport Power Ford for their non competent team of cohorts who barely sneezed by with an mechanical aptitude test let alone an age automotive excellence degree. But instead I bought the 2014 one! Drivetrain, powertrain and body module issues down to the mechanical interior and exterior recalls this Ford is crap entirely bunk from the ground and to the roof top junked all the way! I paid 22grand for a lemon and I was just told to make lemon juice cause Ford was not there for me to get it back on the road. since then my car has been in the shop more than not and I'm not exaggerated! It is just so awesome to have a little time to get out and enjoy the driving experience and I hear it could have been a way better experience had I bought a later model st by two months even. All the way to the moment I got a bit extra play with the steering wheel (of my focus ST), and my family had been Ford consumers for a majority of my life. From that point, Ford was not at all the outstanding company I can remember from the chance of riding to town in my grandfather's ranger pickup. Overall comfort in buying this car was fine, except the dealer all the way to the bank were pushy yet not friendly and pushy. Did I mention the same transmission on their newer focus actually has been recalled? Way to go ford!!! To little to late!! In fact I don't have anything nice to say about them. Never been so disregarded nor had this much trouble with past 4 ford purchases in recent years. I can't get any assistance nor a break from ford and this is the last time I go local to this ford dealer. Now it's the over charged clutch replacement and another5 months no car. Then TCM had to be replaced took ford here 70plus days to get that part Then had to replace motor another 100 days no car. First it had something shorting a wire down under by trans. Never buy a focus without knowing their closest secrets on the vehicle cause I'm sure they see us coming and they don't give a dam about us, the costumer!! I've been making payments since 2019 and over the recent few years I've been without a car. Then I found out about the reason people talk about these 2014 focuses.
