Tom44 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Looks like the demo models are hitting the roads. Things i noticed: looks to have a power seat button but it manual, what does this control? now has the S for Sport button on the wheel being an ST variant in line with the Focus now. new exhaust system?

alexp999 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It probably controls the lumbar support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it looks similar to the control for 4 way lumbar support I've had on VW Group cars. The new seats look good. I'm interested to see if they are a bit more accommodating than the previous version. I've got my car booked in for service/MOT week after next so I'll see what I can find out while I'm there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic14 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 OK I may well be going crazy... But I had a mk8 fiesta titanium x and I'm pretty sure I had an electric handbrake... Just been to test drive a fiesta and they've said its a manual handbrake and fiestas never had an electric handbrake... Am I losing my mind?

Maybe you are thinking of the Mk4 Focus? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenicavalon Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ordered Fiesta in August, delays as plant at Cologne was shutdown at various points due to semiconductor shortage. In November was offered Facelift Fiesta, at negotiated price, as model I ordered was discontinued. Accepted this, and was informed this week that my car had been built and was now marked as 'Shipped'. Due to arrive from middle of March. Also told Ford only taking orders for Facelift model during next week. What this means for future is merely speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkymatt Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Ordered my ST Line Vignale back in December. Had an email from dealer last week to say no new updates as yet, still no build date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinf64 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Had an email today saying mine has a scheduled build date of 29th April so could arrive late May or early June...that's 2022 by the way 🤣 Originally ordered pre-facelift in May last year so just over a 12 month wait by the looks of it.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I couldn't remember which thread I'd posted this in!😀 Anyway, I found out nothing while I was in there as the place was completely devoid of any staff other than the service receptionist still hiding behind a glass screen! 21 minutes ago, martinf64 said: Had an email today saying mine has a scheduled build date of 29th April so could arrive late May or early June...that's 2022 by the way 🤣 Originally ordered pre-facelift in May last year so just over a 12 month wait by the looks of it.... That's pretty bad. My neighbour has just got another new Audi A3 (which he swaps every 2 years like clockwork), must ask him when he ordered it- maybe he puts in the order for the next one as soon as one is delivered!

Pittnuma Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 @sparkymatt I ordered mine in December aswell, they said nothing yet but expecting build may/june.

HG3 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Ive been told delivery due end of may but still no build date. This is my first time ordering a new car. For those who have ordered a new in the past if it was due for delivery in may wouldnt have it been given a build date by now?? Trying to figure out if my order has been delayed. Delaer being no help just keeps saying nothings changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they said anytbing about a change in delivery dates I did, I actually got a call from the dealers owner, head honcho. He was very apologetic, told me I have a build date in June now, but no gaurantee, that it is true currently Cologne is idled. Worthwhile chat, I was gonna ditch it and go for a Peugeot e208, but think I'm gonna wait. Said to him I will wait until June, if it goes back too much I will go for another brand. I know it's not the dealers fault, I actually feel sorry for them, they get info sporadically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are out there Don't trust Autotrader ads. I've found most of the brand new cars on there are actually sold. It's just a ploy to get you to contact them. When you do, you get the 'Oh, that's just sold, but I can offer you XXXXX instead'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
