but i hope can find st 1.. i love the rear 

Any thoughts on the suitable period we can test the power of the Focus? WHen do you guys start to drive past 140km/h on the highways? Above 1,000km mileage should be safe I presume, or we need to wait until 2,000km or so? I just want to see how "noisy" is the Focus at higher speeds.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Jeez people! Please la take care.... at the speeds you are talking about, no matter what NCAP rating the car has, any accident will definitely result in nothing more than porridge surviving.

Top speeds are for race tracks only.

... but going from zero to the speed limit in the shortest time possible..... heh heh....

According to my sales advisor the engine oil has been changed before I took delivery of the car. As a matter of fact, on the same day when I was waiting for the car they are changing the engine oil in the morning. Hence the next service at 10,000km and not 1,000km. Yes, it is new to me too as I have sent all my other cars for the 1st service at 1,000km.

My first tank I got 13.6l/100km  , as I was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for nearly 80% of the tank (UMNO general assembly going on at that time    ). Now after 10000km, I average 10.58l/100km (overall from Day1) ranging from 9.2 to 11.2, with approx 70% city rush-hour traffic.

I find that slow acceleration does NOT help in improving FC; however accelerating then hard braking does make the FC worse. As such, now I just tekan the gas to the max comfort (and enjoyment!) level whenever I can estimate that I don't have to slam the brake.

Overall, I must say the FC is much worse than as advertised, though not unreasonable for a 2L car.

Similarly, I feel sorry for you. I hope the service centre will have a permanent solution to your problem.

FWIW during the first month when I had the Focus, I did not lock the car when it was parked in the car porch overnight. No problems with restarting the car whatsover. I only started to lock the car at night once I fiddled with the positioning of the car seat. I am shocked that the car seat can still be electronically adjusted even though the engine is switched off. In this sense, I think the car consumes a lot of battery power if it is left unlocked. From that day onwards, the day I figured out the position of the car seat can be adjusted electronically, I started to lock the car everytime it's not in use.
