Firstly, I am not very savvy with forums/computers etc. So, please forgive any errors.

Now, Hello, I'm Sarah, I picked up a Focus 1.6 turbo eco boost titanium last Weds. Its the first car I have driven in over 6 years, as I also have a Chrysler which now is going to have an easier life due to getting the Focus.

I wonder if I can ask some advice please before I get grumpy with the dealership I bought the car from in the morning? My hubby has been out in the car this evening and came back saying he thinks there may be one or two problems with the car, but it could be just how the car drives (if that makes sense). I drove it earlier today and didn't notice any issues. He says he could move the steering wheel a little and the car not change direction, and, if he went over a bump/pot hole then the car noticeably pulled to that side and when breaking it was pulling to the left.

Now, bit of history (albeit not much since I only got the car last week, en route home from collecting the car, it was pulling to the left, so I went back and the 'sorted it'.

What do you think? Are we just not used to how a Focus would drive, or do you more seasoned drivers have any advice?

Many Thanks
