alexp999 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 ST has also gained the Ski hatch and HUD as standard. I wish the digital display was optional, I much prefer analog dials with just digital in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 As an Edit, yes, thanks ST gains Ski Hatch and Heads Up Display Titanium X also gains Heated Steering Wheel Also, if you order FULL adaptive LED Headlamps on an ST-Line X you now get LED rear lamps Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any particular reason or just personal preference? I'm being drawn to a digital dash in the next car...was looking at Mk7 Golf's until I realised it's only the facelifts ('67 plate on) that get the digital dash which are out of budget lol. Back on topic, is this a facelift of the Mk4? Seems odd to be adding so much spec without any major visuals? Most buyers won't even want keyless entry and powerfold mirrors!

No facelift, Ford have always made small tweaks to existing model specifications every 6-12 months. And it's just personal preference, I like analog dials. Digital dials really don't do it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First digital dash I saw was in a car my late mother had, early 90s Platinum Astra GTE. Best hot hatch at the time IMO , had battery issues tho , needed charged every night, sound familiar?

The 'virtual cockpit' in the Mk7 Golf looks so pretty...and dare I say, better than Fords effort! (Not to take this totally off topic, but despite the digital dashes, they still didn't come with keyless start as standard! Might as well have fitted a damn starter handle through the front grill! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlbbb Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Oddly enough I'd prefer a digital dash as I can change it to km/h completely! 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excession_ocp Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 When do these models become available for purchase? I just got a 20 Plate St-Line X and the only thing I miss from my old Golf GTD is the digital dashboard. Gah! Still, as someone who has worked in IT for many a year I am well aware there's never a right time to buy things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bloodaxe Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 14 hours ago, DaveT70 said: (and no automatic unfortunately) Yes, it looks as if, like the Fiesta, auto is now only on non-hybrid 125ps (other than the ST). Also seems that (as predicted by Wilco @JW1982 on another thread), 1.5 petrol has gone altogether. Personally I wouldn't have a 1.0 (hybrid or not) in anything bigger than a Fiesta so my next car options seem to be reducing. Going off topic slightly, I wonder if the 1.5 ST Puma will still appear now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it in the Puma which is (presumably) the same as the one in the Focus and found it was ok but nowhere near as clear as the VW Group efforts. Like Alex I prefer the analogue/digital combo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simps100 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Been caught up in this actually tried to Order a 1.5 auto Vignale with a few addons and the dealer couldn’t make the order this seems to be why! Seem to have found me a very similar spec car just missing BLIS which is a shame as I like it on my fiesta but 1.5 auto is more important to me personally. Although that said found this topic on retrofitting BLIS to a Mustang I wonder if it’s similar on a Focus https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/step-by-step-guide-to-enabling-blind-spot-information-system-blis-and-cross-traffic-alert-cta.107623/ I assume these are still on Sync 3.4 and not the new sync 4?

Seems the 1.5 Petrol has gone completely in the new model year - I was placing my order just as all the changes seemed to be happening but they seem to have found me a already build car with pretty much everything i was after minus BLIS fingers crossed.

karlbbb Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Just looking through the new price list and it does indeed seem the 1.5 petrol is now gone. In addition to that, the mild hybrid is only available on the manual, so if you want an auto petrol it's the 1.0 125 only. Not that it's a bad engine or anything, it just seems odd to drop a higher power variant.

Nah it's fine in the Focus. Got it in mine with the 6-speed slushbox auto and it pulls fine. Plus because it's a torque converter auto it multiplies the torque as you pull away so even low down it pulls well until the lockup clutch kicks in and then you get direct drive so it still feels good.
