Hi Guys, i thought id say hi before i begin to contribute.
Seems like you have a good site here. Little about me, im 23 from melbourne/geelong current car is a corolla, but have placed an order for a titanium grey zetec on saturday. Hopefully the dealers dont dick me around and get it in ASAP. Few questions, apart from the annoying seat belt buzzer, are there any other problems i should watch out for? Its kind of hard to tell with only a 30 minute test drive. Im very happy with my decision but would like to learn more about the car. Anyhow, hope to get some good advice and maybe even learn enought o give my own. Thanks. |

First of all a big welcome to the forums. Always good to see new people joining, especially when they (are about to) drive a great car in the LS
The only real thing to keep an eye on initially is paint quality. Most Foci are pretty good, but like most cars, its always good to give the car a good going over before the keys are handed over. The seat belt buzzer thing is a little annoying but you soon learn to put your seat belt on first before you start it. Enjoy the titanium too (best colour in the range, but I could be a little biased!) and before anyone else says it, after you pick it up - WE WANT PICS!!
