i strongly suggest you guys read up the characteristic of dct gearbox before buying the car. alot of people angry because they can hear noise and simply make noise.


I dont blame them for thier lack of education and thier need of following the crowd

Was really really really close to booking an S+ Focus..

Until I read about the DCT problems. Really that bad?? Current owners, do you regret buying fofo??

I really really in love with this car! But damn worried. Currently driving a Proton Inspira. Fofo's interior seem smaller than Inspira uh....

example of an idiot that does not understand the characteristic of DCT. Ask a veyron owner and he will tell you the same story. Ask a ford/renault owner, he will tell you the same story


Ask an owner with a DSG, he will tell you a million and one story. tongue.gif

Because the suspension of the Focus is tuned to be very responsive and agile. With the high profile 60 comfort tyres on the sedan, the car is not so bouncy quite comfortable but still one can feel the agility of the car due to the suspension. With the lower profile 50 of the Sports, combined with the agile suspension the ride will be bouncier, but stability and handling will be much improved.

If the new Focus model gets an even lower profile tyres of 40, combined with the responsive suspension it may be too much. Good for handling and cornering but will not be comfortable compared to the higher profile softer tyres.

change it to focus st absorber and spring - it will feel great

if i trade in my fofo 2014 with the facelift one. will it be worth it? considering the never ending clunking/jerking/dragging issue with the current model. my biggest point in a car is in the pleasure of driving feel, for me the exterior look with the latest facelift is ok

no if you took more than 5 years loan
