Hi guys,
Been reading thru the whole 119 pages. I have been eyeing the FoFo for some time now.
Finally ordered one Candy Red but dealer said no stock in hand and will search after my bank loan approved. Loan has since approved since Xmas.
Waiting is a drag! But I dun think he can get the colour I wanted cos two other dealers in two different states said no more red in Malaysia.
Waiting for the sad day to cancel my order. Was really hoping to be part of this group by New Year.
IMO, for such an exciting car, Ford sure is limiting themselves by offering mostly white and silver colour, which is everywhere! My guess is only exciting people buy exciting car, or we'll all stick with white Toyotas!

U mean SDAC? Think that's the 1st place they'll check. Thanks for the suggestion BTW.

Hi 0304125, i ordered mine from Trio Mantap. They only have white & silver on hand. If it's these two colours, should get it quite fast, which unfortunately is not the colour I ordered. Thanks anyway.

Think chances to become part of this group is slim. May go for my 2nd choice instead, the new Mazda3, if I have to wait anyway. Another gorgeous car with good handling. 2014 has plethora of new C-segment cars line-up, especially Japs. Ford will see a challenging year to move its C-segment. The Focus is still niche here where T & H are still revered, I dun know, for their 'kosong'ness?

Check out Paul Tan's driven of Focus, Cerato and Civic shootout. Civic selling at>RM136K with manual aircond, lightings and Ah Bengs on the street still go googly-eyed over this car . Although I do find the exterior looks good though.

Saw from other car sites the Focus FL would look like the electric one, with the Aston Martin-ed nose, possibly new rear lamp cluster and centre console buttons.
How do you guys find the often panned centre console button complications?

What did Ford techs said bout ur problems? Hopefully they have a solution.

The DCT drivetrain is the main issue which stop potential Focus buyers cold in their tracks.

Oh my. From my readings, the usual solutions are:
1) Ford: Update the DCT software
2) Ford: Check the clutch assy
3) Owner: Re-learn right foot technique. No idea how cos me not Focus owner. Owners may want to help here.

Guess Focus is a car for driving (read:keep moving). If buy to use in city (read:slow crawl), then wrong car. Now I'm leaning more towards not signing my bank agreement and wait for the Mazda3 instead. Conti handling with Jap reliability. Really wanted to like the Focus but DCT issues mentioned here and other places keep erecting the 'dun buy' fence for me.
