ChrisH Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 has anyone tried comparing the different steering setups on the mk2 focus. There are Standard, Sport and Comfort. I was a bit bored yesterday, so changed from Sport to Comfort, but to be honest I didnt really notice anything radically different.... I was expecting much lighter steering. Has anyone else played with these settings, and found any difference. Gone back to sport now, as it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The settings just alter the servo assist on the steering, I do notice a slight difference especially at low speed. BTW, I tend to leave mine on sport setting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch84 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 When I got my car it was on comfort , so I changed to standard , think I noticed a little difference , I may try sport today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sport setting makes the steering heavier for low speed turning but more stable at higher speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay1981 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The steering setting do make a noticeable difference. When the car is stopped or at low speed such as parking the settings do not apply. The settings only apply over a set speed (can't remember what) I'm sure it is in the handbook somewhere. Go for a drive along a twisty B road with the steering set to comfort and then do the same with it set to sport - you will notice the difference. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp0404 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Can this be changed on the 2010 titanium model? Ive seen it talked about but never looked into how you actually do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Can this be changed on the 2010 titanium model? Ive seen it talked about but never looked into how you actually do it. Not if your car is a 1.6 petrol as it's not in the menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thanks for replys. Will try a trip down a twisty B road, see if I notice a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkyz89 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 i notice a difference between sport and comfort when im parking the car in the garage. i have to do a 90 degree turn in a basement parking area, and the steering is alot lighter in comfort mode.

johnson293 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Stumbled across this setting last week when flicking through the dashboard menu - didn't even know it was there. Mine (1.8TDCi Titanium) is set to 'Sport' and generally feels ok for me. Did wonder if it was literally a steering setting, or did more than that, but reading around, seems it is just weight of steering it adjusts. Which cars have this setting? Thought it might have been part of the Titanium Sports Pack, which I think mine may have (it has the 18" alloys). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It,s not only on the sport, I have it on my 2009 1.8 petrol Titanium, it only effects the steering but it is difficult to detect any difference between the 3 settings.

S4DNX Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 And there's me thinking its just a gimick and in my head I only think there is a change lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I definitely noticed the difference on my Mk2 Focus, the difference between steering was one fingered control for comfort, and a fist grip for sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 There is a huge difference... Fast corners on comfort setting are terrifying haha! Sport is a bit heavy for town and parking though so I tend to leave it standard as a compromise lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've found Comfort for urban gridlock to gridlock driving and Sport for rural open road/motorway driving. :) Standard can be used like Tom said, as a compromise Although, I have to say, when I first got the Focus, I couldn't see a great deal of difference, driving around the neighbourhood. Until, I specifically went out to drive a reasonable route in each setting - then it was obvious :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Боян Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi, I've always wondered if I'm involved in sports and it's quick to use some action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
