today , SC ask me to bring my car to SC to change the bonnet on next Monday. Really surprise how the fast they manage to get the new bonnet for since I only complaint on Friday.

But I told them , prepare a courtesy car for me first .

hey guys, I'm in the mid of consideration choosing between Focus Titanium + and Civic 2.0. Was impressed very much with the tech offered by Ford at this range of prices but worrying about the resales value, spare part lead time for replacement. I don't think there are many SC around in West Peninsular as well as I do drive to outstation quite often and hoping car doesn't breakdown while hard to look for SC.

How about the maintenance cost once it enters into 4th year or more than 60k mileage? Huge cost?
*
3 years 60,000KM free maintainence, which should include 1 major service....

I'm aware of the free maintenance for the 1st 3 years but how about the remaining year? minor service costs how much & major service costs how much? any idea?
*
normal service around 400-500 per 10,000KM interval... according to SA

if so that is great...1.0 ecoboost 125hp...1.6 ecoboost 170hp....did they specify what cars are coming with ecoboost? focus? fiesta?

*
should be 1.6 which has been selling in Europe since 2011, the 1.0 is just on sale in Europe for a few months...

but it really feels like the 2.0 Duratec NA will be obsolete soon then... sighz...

All bros

Booked 3 weeks b4 launch date,,
Collected my black FoFo Sport+ on Saturday from PJ,, i tot during the delivery the SA will explain on the car will be like for 2 hours because of the car tech,, but it took only 15 minutes, maybe its busy saturday day with customer,, because day before that, follow my sis to collect her myvi and the salesman took 1 hours to xplain about the car, but i dont mind because has been downloading the online manual and read it few times

After collect straight go to v-kool pj and install tint, they take 4 hours to install because first focus to install with them, raining whole day,, habis my new car

Soo far my complain,, this not a problem,, but my dislike function/quality
1. Dont like the front seat, the semi bucket, hard to get out, will penyek the side kulit very hard,, i doubt the kulit on the side seat will holds long
2. Dont like the auto wiper, will check how to disable it, manage to disable the ambient light, the manual is very grey on this part
3. Will also try to disable the auto ON lights after we open the doors,
4. Hate the park assist
5. The quality of the Sony speaker is not that good, doubt is a sony speaker, will further check

The good thing
The feels, the driving experince, the trip computer, the informative display, the turning light, the torque, the ford eco mode, the michellin tyre, the NVH is great

No wonder only few owner come here to share because everybody busy enjoying their rite, ussualy people come to forum to share their problem but few come to share their enjoyment, same goes to me,,, everyday on LYN and focusfanatics to prepare for any problem,, thank GOD its none so far,, only today manage to online,,

Ps.
New owner check your tire preassure, mine little bit low, front only 180psi, back 195psi, i top it up till 230psi front and back
*
do u feel underpower at uphill...? i tested today.... the taman midah SA was kind enuf to let me test a pretty good route... in Taman Midah housing area with uphills and bumps, and then out to Kesas...

low rev no power... tak rasa torque.... sad.gif

Park assist and Auto park is 2 different thing,,

Park assist
Will auto ON if the car tot u r going to park ur car, or coming out from parking slot, the sound is very annoing,, have to manual off it from the button, that why i hate it

Auto park
Is the one to assist u with parallel parking

Additional info,, i love the Microsoft Sync, and i already know how to disable the auto wiper

I dunno its just take time and go away,,
But sometime i also facing the same problem,, the sensor keep sensing something eventhough its not there,, now im use to it after 2 week


Added on November 4, 2012, 6:34 pm

I dont think those features available for us,, the red ambient light a bit odd to our blue interior light on odo, maybe suitable for red focus,, but i think other color already available to the light only the setting is not there,,
For those who are using blackberry will understand,, bb LED by default is red but can purchase apps to change the colour and can change up to dozen of other colour

yea would be good if can check with the technical guys if change the colors by configuring the on board computers... else have to change LED liaos... tongue.gif
