    hi

    Welcome to FOC

    I think your dealer really fobbed you off as that really is a lame excuse just to get some money from you.

    Does this happen only when you stop?? does the car tick over as normal?

    I think that's a wise decision mate

    I've been tossing and turning over this.

    I just don't know what to do.

    I wish the seats were full leather and heated.

    Did you have the standard seats with the blue on it?

    You can only get those if you go for the blue exterior paint! I wish you could get heated seats too...

    Yeh! I've heard the seats are sooooo nice, and not uncomfortable. If I'm wrong I'll cut you 50% of a jumbo pack of spine rub.

    Like the nitros blue pal

    It will look best in blue being a fast ford imo, but could understand wanting to go black for a more understated look to reduce attention drawn.

    Yep that's correct

    They did the same with the normal Foci.

    Launched the 2015 facelift "from 13,995" then a few months later, ditch the base model, so now the starting price is £15,995. BUT all the reviews and news articles will praise the great value and starting price (which no longer exists).

    The RS will be the same, all the reviews and launch articles will say, £5k cheaper than nearest rival! Less than 29k, except now it isn't.

    Ford aren't stupid and I imagine every other manufacturer does exactly the same thing, lol.
