I was looking at a couple of different trim levels at a local dealer last week. A bit like the latest Fiesta inside only bigger. Not keen on the red stitching on the seats etc on the ST model.

I think the rear end looks good, it looks allot better than the mk3/mk3.5 but not sure about the front the car just yet. The front grill looks a bit awkward to me. The interior is a huge improvement in terms of practicability and looks over the previous generation though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I was reading an article on these last night...is it true that they'll be coming with petrol particulate filters on the 1.0EB? I know petrols produce fewer particulates and the exhausts run hotter but will we still get filter blocking issues on town cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 ,i just had a read and yes it will have a filter. and cylinder head is reversed so the exhaust ports are at the back now. . this is to meet the euro 6.2 emmissions . so looks like all other manufacturers will have to do the same. another reason to keep my car until it dies. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastachaz Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 from 2018 all car need to have this fillter gpf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The think with the filters isnt about having them, its about cleaning / replacing them. Can it be that hard to make a filter with a serviceable core? I mean it surely cant be beyond the realms of science to make a hatch with a drop out core 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the new interior even though I'm not a fan of the stick on screen. 😂😂 exactly the same as me , I hated the mk3 when it came out , I brought one last week 😂 I don't like the look of the mk4 , so I'll probably own one in another 3 or 4 years time 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtulip8 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 First Mk4 spotted in the wild that’s actually not a Ford prototype. Grey car heading along the A30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Didn't realise how different the 1.0 ecoboost is compared to the original. Now cam chain driven instead of the wet belt.different turbo, cylinder head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Tv ad shows an ST Line version and it sort of looks ok with a twin exhaust.Tbh it's starting to look like an Astra with the split rear window.Bit meh for now.Sent from my SM-G965F (S9+) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape of the boot and opening is just as important as the capacity tbf, Mk3 boot was just daft after the Mk2 boot lol. I've seen quite a few Mk4s about now (live between 2 Ford dealers) and they're not growing on me yet... Just as well really seeing as I'd need £20k to buy a 125ps Titanium. 😮 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xpug Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hello, All. My first post...hope to be here a while! Ordered a new Focus a couple of weeks ago (Titanium / 1.5 Ecoboost / Automatic / Desert Island Blue / with a few `extras`) I have a little query: What is the maximum delivery mileage you would say was acceptable? Thanks in advance. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had about 4 miles on it and most of that was the dealer going to a BP garage to fill up will Ultimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 My Mum's had about 30 miles on it...the delivery truck broke down on collection day so one of the staff drove the car back to the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 normally from the factory and delivered by transporter to the dealer there is normally 5- 7 miles. then a short roadtest at pdi inspection. so 10miles max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big disappointment is that the mulitilink rear suspension has been dropped for the 1 l ecoboost and 1.5 diesel. Torsion beam on those cars from what I have read and heard. the nasty screen inside and air vents that don't go horizonal across the dash mean no thanks.... just like the new 3 series.... why do you want one hand / arm in the breeze and the correct temperature and the other not ? I think the culprit is these customer surgeries where 4 women who don't like breathing, ask for buttons and screen in the wrong place rather than proper functionality 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The issue with the screen is because of euro regs, it has to be a certain height so you're not looking down away from the road, that's why they're all in that annoying location now. On another note, just seen a Mk4 on sub 400 miles written off on the Facebook group 😮 Front end looks slightly better after the 45mph impact tbf... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
