Lurker says hello

Hi there,

Greetings from Finland.
I joined back in 2021 while I still was a 2017 Focus owner. I didn't have any problems with that car though, so I didn't have too much to say. I just lurked around for a while.
But at last, in January of 2023 I received my long awaited 2022/2023 Focus. It had been on order ever since, oh,  around the time I joined this forum, I guess. Even the model year changed from 2022 to 2023 during the wait.

New technology brings new problems, I'm afraid, so I'm prepared to share my experiences here. Both the good and the bad.

    Hello Mike, and happy new car 😀

    I've been to Finland a couple of times. Both times the temperature in Vaasa was well below freezing !!

    Thanks unofix. Despite a few battery problems that are yet to be solved, this car drives like an absolute dream.

    I live in Turku, in SW Finland and luckily this winter has been unusually mild so far. Mostly a degree or two above freezing. And very little snow, which is a good thing since I HATE snow. But the roads are mucky and dirty (yes, the paved ones) and my poor car looks like it's been off-roading in the mud 😞  Our climate is very hard on cars.
