Ford Focus LW Mk2 (2012-2015) (page 5 of 5)

My manual Trend 2013 (petrol) has done 60,000km without any problems. It's a very solid well built vehicle with some great features for the price such as hill start assist, cap-less fuel filling, voice activated Bluetooth and with the convenience pack, auto headlights, auto wipers and auto dimming rear view mirror. Even with plenty of spirited driving I'm still on my original Michelin tyres. The motor is a sweet revver and has a suprising amount of go when pushed. It's reasonably economical too, I reliably return 6.2 L/100.
A superior car to the other brands I considered and drove. I would definitly recommend this car.

Fantastic car, very well engineered, great handling, great steering, body is solid, ride is well controlled but not too firm, the motor has both decent torque down low and it likes to rev (2 litre), it has decent luggage space with flat fold/split rear seats, supportive seats with a good driving position for a short person and well thought out controls.

I test drove a LOT of cars before picking the Focus and the Focus wasn't on my initial search list. I started out looking at the smaller cars but in the end I couldn't find one I really lik...

Had my ST for almost two years.. love it. Had a few niggles like door seals coming unglued, couple of rattles but had them rectified at jarvis ford. Very comfy recaro seats that hold you in very well. Very quick car and alot of fun while economical too, 1st set of tyres nearly done at 32200km but ditching the eagle f1s for michelin ps3 for a more comfortable tyre.

I am an owner of a new (under warranty) Ford Focus Trend 2014 model (35,000 kms). Ever since buying my car i have had problems with my oil. I'd fill it up to the top and 2-3 weeks later its half way down the gauge.
I've taken it to the Ford Dealership the Wollongong and every time they say they've fix the problem the problem hasn't been fixed.
I've told them if there is any leaks causing the oil levels to diminish and they've said they can't find any.
I feel like that keep saying that there's no problem until my warranty runs out and actual...

I purchased this car new and the Ford Dealer neglected to mention the transmission was plaqued with problems until after I drove it out of the showroon. From day 1 i have had problems, Ford tell me a week after i start reporting problems that they know about these issues, tell me after 2 weeks I need a new clutch, the next day Service manager confirmed this, the following day after lodging a complaint the dealership advises my model is a late model has new components and only needs bedding in for approx 7500 klm despite the specs saying 300 Klm...

Bought manual in 2013, done about 40k of mainly highway driving, the Trend is great, performs in all areas, handles like a dream, seats are extremely comfy, the boot release is in an odd spot but I seriously cannot fault it, the service at the Ford dealer has been very good...would recommend the vehicle to anybody -

I purchased a 2013 Ford Focus Trend auto sedan November 2013 - my first brand new car. I should have been a happy customer, however, I quickly felt like I'd got a lemon for my hard earned cash. Before I'd even gone 1000km, my car was returned to the dealership for computer upgrades that did little to fix things. Like many others, I was frustrated with the jerkiness of gear changes, inconsistent hesitation of the transmission on take-off, and the loud rattles and shuddering when driving in city traffic.

I put my car in for the scheduled 1500...

I was told the problem with 2013 automatic gear box was fixed. so I bought a new runout 2014 model focus hatch automatic paid $24000 for the vehicle 3 weeks & 3600 kilometres I had a brake down I took the vehicle back to novis ford Caboolture who know about the problem and said they will buy the vehicle back for $17814 so i decided I didn't want to drive around with an unreliable vehicle so I accepted the loss of over $6000 just to get rid of it. So beware I personally believe. the automatic gearbox problem still exist.
I have paper work to prove all that I have said.

I purchased a 2014 ford focus trend. Made in September 2014 and I purchased it as a demo (made in Thailand) Since owning it I have had nothing but issue. It's a manual but has clutch shudder something chronic when ever it feels like it. Sometimes it feels the need not to start, turns over but just does not Fire. The air conditioner works when it feels like it. Recently it was dangerously low on coolant and the engine has a milky looking substance under the oil cap and all inside the engine. The dealership tried to tell me that the weather condi...

I bought this vehicle brand new and would have to be the worst car that I ever bought. I've had 2 inner rear door panels replaced as they warped from the heat, fuel tank replaced as would never fill up past 3/4 tank. The first clutch (Dual Clutch Transmission) replaced at 33000k's and was due for another clutch replacement at 64000k's.
When the dealer told me it will be a few months wait for the new clutch as it was on back order, I found another way to fix the problem, traded it in for a New Hyundai.......problem solved.

We decided to buy a new car when new kid arrived. We decided on the manual Sport Hatch because of the engine size and and a few of the extras it got over the ambiente and trend, like the reversing camera - the only extra I would have liked is the turbo the ST has. On the plus side, it is sporty (no problems overtaking road trains), has hill start assist, reverse camera, sat nav, blue tooth, 17" alloy wheels, Sony sound system, very economical, has instantaneous fuel consumption figures, auto lights and wipers. On the negative side its a bit sma...
