dsrogan 2 Posted March 23, 2013 I have the 18" alloys and find them a real pain. The turning circle is really reduced by a big amount and I find that I cannot just swing into a car park space - i need the reverse and swing in again. I cannot swing straight into my drive have to stop and reverse to get in straight. Ride is good though:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james_60 205 Posted March 23, 2013 The turning circle with the optional 17" appearance pack alloys *zetec have a rubbish turning circle too :-( The order has been accepted by motability so iam now waiting for a chassis number Jamie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maschio 2 Posted March 24, 2013 Hi, Just joined and took delivery of a Titanium X on Friday. 2.0 TDCI Panther blk Appearance pack Sony sat nav Ordered late Jan Build date 21st Feb Delivered 22nd Mar Unfortunately, due to the snow, i have only managed 4 slow and steady miles since receiving it It looks fantastic inside and out. Seats are great, Ford sync with voice control works great, the missus loves the ambient lighting but i'm not too keen on the pink Looking forward to the snow clearing to really try it out. You will love it mate, mobility or not. I got it as a company car driver. Upgraded from a 2.0 TDCi Mk 2.5 Titanium. 1 james_60 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything on it is great and it is brilliant to drive. Clocked over 100 miles in the first weekend, thoroughly enjoying it so far :) You won't be disappointed when you get it on the road!! 1 james_60 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexp999 3,065 Posted March 25, 2013 Nice to see some more Titanium Xs in Ink Blue being picked. I was amazed when looking at the colours, how few people have it. I think the brochure does it no justice. In the flesh it is such a deep and rich blue, looks so nice. Really nice to have a "coloured" car again after my previous black and grey choices too :) My dealer had a Focus MK3 in Ink Blue in the showroom when I went to see about getting a Midnight Sky Focus. When I saw it, it was a case of scratch that, I want that colour! 1 james_60 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even a little bit of snow can make it look bad to me at the moment ;) 1 james_60 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

james_60 205 Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks for the replies :-) Iam excited When I Rang the dealer it still only had an order number and not a chassis number :-( (last week) Does the higher models have more sound insulation etc than the lower models etc, Jamie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

james_60 205 Posted March 26, 2013 silly question I know lol but years ago higher models often were built better and included a "Higher level of Sound insulation over bla bla model" Has anything changed with the 1.6 tdci 115 (vs my may 2012 1.6 tdci) have they changed anything with the gearbox etc etc etc .

stuartr26 7 Posted March 27, 2013 Hi Stuart Thanks for ure reply, have you owned a lower model before you purchased the titanium x Jamie Yeah Jamie, I had a Fiesta Edge for the past year, upgraded to the Focus Titanium X at the weekend! The sound is so much clearer even when you are playing music via bluetooth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james_60 205 Posted March 27, 2013 :-) sounds cool, I added u as a friend stuart, did you choose the premium sound pack James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuartr26 7 Posted March 27, 2013 :-) sounds cool, I added u as a friend stuart, did you choose the premium sound pack James Nah just the standard that comes with the Tit X - don't know how much difference there is between the two options but I didn't want to wait any longer for my car to be ready! 1 james_60 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimrex 50 Posted March 27, 2013 Does the higher models have more sound insulation etc than the lower models etc, I doubt these days they'd bother giving the higher specs better sound insulation, the Focus is a very refined car anyway. I have a Zetec 1.6 TDCI and once it's warmed up you'd never know! The Titanium does have soft touch leather like material on the tops of the door cards instead of the scratchy plastic on the Zetec, so I guess it's a bit more plush in that respect :) 1 james_60 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
