Just found out from the Focus Fanatics forum and a video review, that the middle speaker at the center of the dashboard is a Center Speaker and not a Subwoofer.

They have omitted the 10th speaker from our variant, which is the subwoofer from the trunk although the good news is that the amp is below the booth (near the spare tyre compartment) & probably capable of powering a low-powered aftermarket sub.

Speaker and tweeter on each doors, center speaker in the dashboard, subwoofer at the booth

I've clocked about 670km as of today.... been keeping track of my FC via aCar app; as per last fill-up 3 days ago, I have been averaging 12.74 l/100km.... that works out to be exactly similar to yours, at 430km for the full 55L tank!!

Agreed... FC is not as great as expected... according to the website, it is supposed to be 9.4L/100km... about full tank 585km for pure city driving, and 6.6L/100km or full tank 850km combined.

Could it be because our cars are so new?

Also, when I first got the car, I was really light on the gas pedal earlier, with very slow acceleration (I'm sure the drivers behind me were cursing!), and I noticed that the jerking/shuddering was worse as expected; in addition the felt like the gear was higher than what it should be, resulting in sluggish performance. Now what I do is give it a little more gas at the start, then end up coasting more. Based on the "Average Fuel Consumption" reading on the dashboard, this style of driving is giving me improved FC woh!

there was a study that shows that too slow an acceleration is bad for fuel consumption too
the theory behind is it that you are not moving up the gears and in efficiency fast enough
in manual cars, it's like holding a gear which accelerating slowly, instead of getting up to speed sooner so that you can get into the next gear
