Hi Everyone,
I've just purchased an 11 plate Focus 1.6 TDCI (14k miles) Really like the car but having now done a full run out in it I'm concerned about just how slow/laggy first gear is.
I've come from a 2.0 petrol so wasn't expecting equivilant acceleration but pulling away from junctions/roundabouts feels really dangerous. The car was also bought to teach my other half how to drive, majorly worried that the lag, combined with the response of a learner driver could be a recipe for disaster!
I see this is a reasonably common problem but does anyone know a fix - is it worth taking to Ford?
Also if this isn't a fault not sure what my legal rights are on returning the car to the dealers?
Cheers,
Kie
