My Panther Black Titanium with Sync 2 Nav and appearance pack will be here some time next week, will post pics when I get the chance seems alot of people are going for the zetec S!! Any reason as to why are just personal preference??

Also if anyone has got some experience having a good play on the sync 2 system could they share?? Would love to know all the little features that are hidden away

Poor car, not the best start.

Hopefully it won't take too long... Is it being done through their insurance?

Yh they felt bad when they found out it was a day old only 83 miles on the clock not the best start to the focus journey Allen ford cov dealer delay me by 3 hours due to broken jet last found a scratch on the inside of the passenger front electric window was guna phone ford will have to wait

I give up my fez died Friday night write off hit a barrier due to diesel on the road and now this Allen ford gave a half a tank of fuel for messing me about love the new touch screen

No it was my workweek end now looks the focus is my all rounder does any how long the break period is for the 1 litre Eco boost forgot ask dealer

Crikey that's an awful start for the poor foci... Fingers crossed it's done and dusted quick for you, at least it's still driveable so you an enjoy the ride even if you have to wait longer to enjoy the aesthetics...

cheers for the link!! the dealer networks seem pretty on the ball getting the cars sorted for everyone, I had a nightmare trying to source my current car, over 8weeks to get a car moved from Dagenham!!

Really looking forward to something a little less boneshakingly hard and less heart attack insurance!

Finally seen the new Zetec S in person today, In the bluey purple colour and it is STUNNING!!! They had it beside the old Zetec S and i said the older one had the better back end...well after seeing them in person the new shape back end is so much better!!! Seeing it today has really swung me now towards it.

I would be happy wth the current old zetec s with the new ford sync touchscreen :( think the old zetec s looks more bulky and sportier after seeing the new one in person....especially when the old one has more of a "sports style kit" as apposed to the new zetec s is a bit more plain looking??

I personally do not think the old Zetec S bodykit suited the car, looked a bit too strapped on imo.

Here is a couple of pics I took at lunch time today, it is ready and waiting for me to collect this evening :D

I totally think the opposite now, The old one looked big and bulky compared to it, New one looked more sleek/sporty. Back lights are a vast improvement as is the front grille.

Keep us up to date with your MPG...I think im going with the 1.5TDCI but if the MPG on the petrol is good i'd go for it over the diesel.

Think i prefer the poverty wheels :) just a shame they are not 18's.

Just noticed after doing a full fill up that the tank is smaller in my new one, could be due to the fact the old one was a 2.0 and this is a 1.5 but it's a 40 litre tank where as the other was 50 happy days though still getting nearly 500 miles to a tank but only costing £56 to brim it!!

  • Author

2.0 is a 60L tank, 1.5 and 1.6 tdci is 53L iirc.

I think all petrols are 55L.
