QUOTE(kinwawa @ May 29 2013, 11:52 AM) went to few showrooms recently....been told ready stock also wor...not sure how true it is...still waiting for the 'raya' promo to kickoff before booking one  btw...most of them offered free Raytech tinting...any of owners used before???was told quality equal to V-kool but half the price....not sure if it is typical salesman talk so hoping to get input fr owners. Else..what is the best tinting for your car? thx raytech is much famous then other , just like vkool everybody know is good tint with good price but hor .. Vkool also got a lot of range , the best quality is called vkool Elite , is very expensive and i believe no salesman able to give this as free tinted .

I received my Candy Red Sport+ 2 days ago. Experiencing the low gear juddering like most explained here. One more thing is on hard acceleration, gear change from 3 -> 4 is pretty rough. Kinda kicks me forward during the gear change. 300 KM traveled so far.
All that aside, handling and cornering is great, NVH is surprisingly good, still trying to figure out all the buttons and I'm still deciding on which tinting to use.
On daily driving, I realised that there are not enough 'open' compartments to store things like phone and wallet. What I mean by 'open' is, compartments where you can place your stuff, and not forget to take when you leave your car.
Pictures to come later!

Still experience the shuddering on gear shift especially after going through the bumper to bumper traffic route and when the clutch works too hard. The gear box is very smooth and snappy in the morning drive when traffics are lesser. Hope the shuddering will go away soon. But I suspect its the adaptive shifting software n algorithm that causes the problem. Anyone know any good explanation on this?

Hi all ford focus owner
Do you have any problem with the gearbox, yesterday when i start my car, it RPM stuck at 2.X and it won't change gear. Until i park my car at roadside then restart it ,then everything back to normal.
Checked the trip computer and all the system are normal, no idea what causes the problem.
Beside the rattling issue from 0-40KM/H, i also feel that im having problem maintaining speed going uphill.

It depends on its adaptive on your drive style. I am clocking 800 plus km now. Shifting more predictable. Shuddering also get lesser. Hope it will get better as the engine and clutch break in.

But im still worry that the gear stop changing might happen. i also find the keyless feature abit annoying when trying to lock the car, do i really have to wait 3 sec outside under a hot sun or pouring rain to lock the car? beside hitting the lock button on the remote. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. The moment you close your door, you can touch the handle sensor immediately and it will lock. What's with the 3 seconds you're talking about?
