Hey There, Am thinking of buying a 2009 Focus diesel Automatic 6 speed and just wondering what advice people can give me on here if they have any personal experiences. The guy with the Focus that wont start is freaking me out and my friend had problems with hers which is 4 years old. But then the reviews by Drive.com.au are raving giving it 4-5 stars, soooooo, just wondering. Also looking at Mazda 3 sp 25 aswell.

Yeah look REWS7AR:

we fully see the facts to your comments. SEEMS LIKE SOME NUMBNUTS ON HERE ARE INTO AVERAGE UGLY CARS….I LOVE TO BE NOTICED, INSPIRED, IMPRESSIONABLE AND INDIVIDUAL AS MAKES JOURNEY AN ADVENTURE AND NOT BORING LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY OR NODDING OFF. OTHERS JUST LOVE THERE CARS AND WOULD RATHER BE SEEN IN CAMRY AHEAD OF A SVELTE LOOKER LIKE A VEYRON OR A HOT STUNNING LOOKING CAR! Its sad that in the states FORD goes down road of square boxed up you beaut uninspiring devoid of stunning svelte looks ugly cars that is like major eyesore. Now for go stuff…..FORD is turning corner and will have a formidable stable of classy cars and Focus 2009 model is step into light and out of the dark tunnel that FORD have been in. Like I said – there is KA (CGI on this website), MONDEO (hatch and wagon), FOCUS (sedan, euro wagon and hatch), FIESTA (sedan and hatch), VERVE (sedan and hatch), IOSIS, IOSIS X, KUGA, NEW FALCON HERE IS COOL AS NOW, CAPRI (two versions have sighted on net), F250 REFLEX, VISOS.

Good things are around and if you find better looking cars that smell of eye catching….get it. The Focus you have there looks like insane ugly! Does Ford sell well over there as would find it impossible to see cars selling at all! Especially when non-euro look and have no sweeping kinetic flow to designs!

Seriously, Who does one have to kill to get this in the states? I’m actually buying a damned Mitsubishi because the 08 focus looks like someone let their blind cousin design it

MY 2008 Ford Focus with less than 6000 km’s on the clock wont start and is being held at a ford workshop. they say the parts may take up to 2 months to get here. Ford Customer Service Centre is a complete joke…..so if you have a problem with your Ford, and from the reading i have done, its more tyhan likely you will……your on your own. Avoid these cars, advice from someone who got bitten.

Sorry, but the wanker above loves the Football, Hamburgers, eagles and holdenwoo shit. “This “Driving-Fords-Is-like-XXX” needs to go for good…”

How is that got to do with you? Can’t you see there was a pest and need it to go away?

Maybe you need a taste of your own crap mate, No pointless posts exepted…Now don’t say i’m just making bad posts, because you started it your self to back-up all your one-eyed Holdenwoo lovers like your self. Pick on anyone saying they “one-eyed Ford fans” like you did to Going Ford…? Notice you don’t say “one-eyed Holdenwoo fans” to idiot that attack ford Posts…

This will also come with the option of a “Powershift” gearbox, similar to VW’s DSG.

The US Focus doesn’t suit Focus at all. Why are they making it a limo? Thats the last thing that comes to me when I think Focus.

1.Golf rotors rooted at 30,000 km. :(

2.Be very careful how you rubbish other posters’ spelling and grammar. Especially on here. Blimey.

3. Focus looks good.

4. Trivia treat for Trackdaze: the rear door on the XD to XF Falcon station wagons was interchangeable with the American Ford Fairmont wagon of 1977. Yep. Just the rear door (the one at the back of the car), nothing else. If you’ve ever wondered why it looks like it doesn’t belong, there’s your answer.

Missile,
just put some dust shields on your discs. i got them standard on all 4 wheels with my falcon and the mags never get brake dust on them. the down side is you dont get to see the calipers though.

well said Tom.

this is easily the best car in its class to me. the best looker and best handler by far!!!!

Remember Football, Meatpies, Kangaroos & Rehashed Vauxhall Omega’s. GMholden fell arsebackwards on the count of them taking the Vauxhall Omega of 87 as their template for the VN-VZ commodore. That meant it was already engineered for right & left hand drive. “did you know that a 96 vauxhall door will fit straight on a VT-Z?” That’s hillarious.

I use the word engineer lightly because what they did was use a half height firewall. Any more special it would need round the clock care.

This coupled with the fact that all other gm cars the mid east might take were rubbish beyond belief meant that a car designed in europe during the late 80’s and built in a colonial outpost in the new millenia was the perfect choice to spearhead GM’s market in the Middle east.

Back to the Focus. Drives good, Engineered good, looks good.

When the VW chairman drove a FOCUS before the launch of the GOLF MkV he immediately went back to VW binned the torsion beam rear end (like the ArSTRA’s FMKH!)and got the engineers to hurriedly put in a multilink rear end. Cost them lots, & even though they run at full capacity they have trouble making money because of it. VW are now hurriedly bringing MkVI to market to reign in the cost.

So not only is the Focus a good car its managed to kneecap the opposition.

Glad we over that now.
Seen the US Focus? I looks nothing like these ones here, it has the same style grill as the Taurus and Fusion.

Well, you said I need to go, but you never say anything to that idiot before.

I needed to give him the message and that one only… Well, no it wasn’t acceptable, but he needed it after what he did.
