Anything on if my battery will last more than 4 hours? Upgrade due on my 5s and I badly need a new f*cking phone. Hate android so i'll no doubt be ordering this anyway.
Love it. Really want one!
Not sure if your focus is still for sale on RS direct but it was up for mega money, although I do realise yours was a very very high spec.
Thanks matthew I appreciate that!
Luckily if I'm not using it for the week I can store it in my warehouse at work. And my house is on a gated street so the weekends don't worry me too much. For every other time I'll get a disklock and the obd port sorted. Should be fine!
Owned (read;leased) this a year on the 10th of June, done just over 5000 miles I think. Its a good little car, especially when you kick its head in which due to it not really being mine I can do every journey of everyday. Only thing that bugs me is the ride is shocking round town.
I could...
Wow. That looks amazing. Really really like these in that spec. Neighbour has just got a silver one on the crap wheels. I think if it had these wheels it would be the perfect spec. Never seen a car suit silver so much.
Thanks for sharing Kev.
Yeah I agree 100%. Due to how little mileage I do my intention was always to pay top dollar for a low mileage and as mint as possible example.
Although recent thefts of the last few months also stopped me from buying one tbh. My current house does't have a garage and although it is gated I...
Ever so slightly slower in a straight line but evens stevens on roads like this.
After 6 hours walking though I can safely say I'd of rather been driving the Focus for the journey home.
Climbed Snowdonia a few weeks back. Great day out and the roads were brilliant. It is a shame I don't get to drive it more often like on roads like them as the bumpy and crashy ride round town makes sense when you get it on decent roads.

At some point yes. Although the prices seem to be dropping slightly to me since the new one got announced. Only very slightly but im still sceptical as to what the prices will do.
I've always like Californias. Would love to drive one to the south of France. Saw my first California T the other day and I also thought that looked brilliant.
I can't really compare as the newest jap car I've been in is a 2005 Type R which rattles its t*ts off. I understand your point though.
In all fairness mine is pretty rattle free, apart from the odd one from the passenger door card which can be sorted with louder music.
I'd definitly buy Ford...
Spot on mate it more or less did. I think for the value of the car the build quality is more than acceptable. At the end of the day its a very highly mass produced hatchback so to expect it to be even close to anything the Germans produce is a little unfair really.
Had it since last July on lease. If the option exists (few people have said it does, need to read the paperwork) I'm going to pay it off after a year and get an RS.
I much prefer the standard Focus ST3 I have access to, than mine. So it's made me want an RS. With 400bhp. Can't wait.
Well you are deluded then.
Can't wait to get one in summer. Time is dragging badly. Would get one now as there are some properly nice examples for sale but just have no room at home and to lock it up in my warehouse is just a waste.
Considering I've posted about 50 times, if that, in the last 6 months, i think a mountain has been made out of a mole hill.
Still a great looking car, just not for me.
And for reference, after 12 months I'm buying my way out of my lease because I find the turbo 4pot boring...
How does it not justify that opinion? Surely before you buy one you drive a few and decide whether you like the experience? I was blind sighted by the noise when i test drove mine. It masks what was in other ways a dull car to drive, hence why I didn't like the GTi.
Not quite sure why my...
^ Driven 3 different ones and been in a mapped one. Good cars, still wouldn't own one unless it was V6. I got bored of that, sounded nice but boring to drive after a while.
Always left in reverse, cable has still been stretched though.
And Kev, apart from havin the hands of a 9 year old girl, there isn't much else you can do. Took two of us to fix mine properly and it took ages. The pre drilled holes on the splitter do not correspond to accessable fixing points in...
Yeah there are loads in my area, all the same colour too. Not that I care, I didnt buy it to stand out. I enjoy more that it looks like a normal fiesta as I've had issues with jealousy on my cars before.
Splitter is a tw*t to fit. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
Had its first clean in a few weeks last week. Partly because of the weather, partly because it isn't really mine and I don't care for cleaning it.
Took a picture that I thought made the car look pretty good. Looks have grown on me a lot and I do now think it's quite a decent looking car. If the...
