salsheikh Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi guys, I'm a newbie on here and wanted to know if there is anywhere i can find info on what you get with each Focus model available on the market. I want one that has the heated front windscreen but from the 'what car/parkers' guides it says only the zetec climat/ghia/titanium models have them? I have seen a TDCI Style 2008 model but the guys english isnt very good and getting him to tell me if the cars a 5sp or 6sp model was hard enough Can someone point me in the right direction or answer my query. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi mate, welcome to the forum, i have a 2010 ford focus style and it has cruise control, heated mirrors and heated windscreen, heated water jets and front fog lights, 16'' st style alloy wheels and its a 1.6Tdci 5 speed gear box with Traction control also known as ESP if the windscreen is heated you will see little wires running down the glass every 2mm another little wire running down it, also their will be 2 buttons on the centre console 1 for rear window and another for the front if it is heated.

btmaldon Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Lenny: How did you get a Style with Cruise and the ST type alloys? They weren't standard on the Style. salsheikh: You may want to concider the Sport as well as this has Sat/Nav, Voice Comms, Titanium Interior, ST Type alloys, reversing sensors, auto dimming mirror, auto headlights, auto wipers, etc, etc. Im pretty sure all Zetec models and higher such as the Sport and Titanium come with Heated Screen. It would have been an option on other variants of the Mk 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salsheikh Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 about 5.5k but would push to 6 if it was the right car. seen lots of cars on autotrader/ebay etc but all over 100k and i want one with less than that. i've also been advised to avoid the 1.6 models due to turbo issues and been advised they are underpowered. is this true? anything else i need to be aware of? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamp Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm pretty sure the only 08 Focuses with a 6-speed box are 2.0 Titanium spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm pretty sure the only 08 Focuses with a 6-speed box are 2.0 Titanium spec. Is it a Six speed box your after ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 would like a 6sp but if the economy is good then its not an issue. so, is there an issue with the 1.6 models? the titanium models are ace. liking the blue one...

Preee Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 1.6 no issue as i'm aware of ,only 100bhp though , won't be breaking any speed records , but mine is great (so far) :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 these are quotes from another ford forum i enquired on TBH if it was me I would avoid the 1.6 TDCi due to the well publicised turbo failures. Very costly to sort, and not totally avoidable either. The 1.8 TDCi is pretty much bullet proof, a bit lacking in ultimate power if that's what you are after. My choice (I am very biased mind) would be the 2.0l TDCi. 60mpg+ and great performance to boot, given a light foot for the former and forgetting economy for the seccond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Preee, the blue one's a petrol model unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Preee, the blue one's a petrol model unfortunately. Yeah sorry i forgot you was after a Diesel Model, read up about DPF on these forums before you buy one with a few miles on the clock , many threads on here about them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
