Patience and high gears are the key to economy - my car will pull from 25MPH in 5th and its :D at 30MPH. I found that "flooring" the throttle under 2kRPM gets you nowhere fast but gentle progressive pressure up to 2K gives a better overall progress. Once on the open road its "Driving Miss Daisy" all the time. This is a personal observation and not a criticism of anyone :wink:

Fuel consumption in advert is for the standard 1.6 engine

15000 Nectar Points are worth £75 in redeemable vouchers :)

Received my 15000 Nectar Points today - had given up on them. I did write I was was unhappy about not getting them on the feedback questionnaire, not sure if that did the trick or not... Anyway I'm now "Completely Satisfied" :D :D :D

:idea: Is it not just an overflow to stop you over filling it :?:

Speed was 60-70 mph, cruise on, sunroof open, aircon occasionally, and gentle throttle when needed :wink: I know lots of people complain about the lack of low down power - me too when compared to my previous 2.0 Ghia but it has a plus side I find its easier to stick to the 30MPH limit when required to.

Just did a 250 mile round trip in my 1.6Ti-VCT at the weekend, average 43.3mpg - thats 473 miles on a tank full...well impressed :D

Hi Guys Just flipped through Ford Focus Catalogue take a look at page 52 the estate car photos...is this their idea of a colour match :?:

In UK only C-Max Ghia has EPB.

I have... 8) 8) 8)

PS Need some help on sizing pics :?

Sorry it's no consolation but I reckon my bumpers are spot on!

Looking in spare wheel compartment to check the jack when I found a new grey glove. Have I been lucky or has everyone got one...seems strange only one though.

Looks terrific in red...saw a white estate today and it looked unbelievably boring :!:

Just noticed badges on boot out of alignment, will they remove and re-stick or do I have to get new ones :?:

I originally ordered mine from Allbrandsnew but when the sales confirmation came through I found out that all their cars are "pre-registered" so I cancelled. Also their delivery charge of £300...so I went back to Drivethedeal and got a "brand new" car, delivered and there was only about £50 difference.

Interesting both cars registered in Leeds but your location is Surrey is there a story to tell :?: Are they both running well and are you still enjoying them :?:

Niether had I - now all I have to do is find something to fill it with :?

The "footrest" is the moulded shape in the very corner of the footwell next to the centre console.

Looks like S 2.0 :?:

www.photobucket.com - free... just need to register :wink:

No footrest in my Ghia but the rear doors are the right way round and the phone compartment is very convenient 8) ***Moved carpet Mat and discovered "The Footrest" *** :oops:

I'm sure it will look great as well as being practical...how about some pics when it arrives :)

Will this mod also autolock the doors after a time delay when the car is stationery :?:

The interior sensor can be disarmed be the switch next to the driver's door handle (Page 92 in the manual) :wink:
