If its only the Sat Nav. that's the upgrade well I'm happy to be able to go to the Garage to drive mine today and everyday . I have a Sat Nav that's portable.
I have also had a call from my dealer about a compliance plate change for my car. Anyone else had this problem?

You also get a slightly bigger screen, so it goes from 4.2" to 5" (making full use of the cluster display). Haven't seen a car equipped with this yet, but hopefully it makes the interior screen a little clearer.

My car was ordered a while back, so to have it thrown in ($500 option) for simply accepting delivery in November was a real bonus. I was more than happy to go without satnav, in fact I wouldn't have optioned it if it was available at the time anyway. Nice to be given something from Ford for no apparent reason for a change

Yea, felt the additional $3.5k could probably be used for some aftermarket mods down the road. Plus there was a long waiting time for a Sedan Sport. But I'm liking it though, except the lack of a centre armrest

yeah that was a weird exclusion from the Trend for the price-point. Does it have a leather wheel? Looks plastic in the pics on carpoint. Enjoy her anyway, very nice cars.

I am not a big fan of the sedan. Is it just me or is the Focus hatch sexier than the Cruze hatch?

I thought the Cruze hatch was heaps better than the Cruze sedan, which looks rather pudgy. But yea, it's still nothing to shout about. |

do you mind PM how much you paid for the focus sports you ordered? I am looking at the same spec as you, and just wondering what people paid. Also, on alot of websites, it says the hatch has LED taillights. But i had a look today, and it definitely had halogen globes. Do they mean LED taillights as in the middle brake light? Thanks all |

Update from Ford Dealer, we're now looking at early January. Started at mid December, then late December, now early January. My guess is it must be the Sports Executive Pack slowing the process down, as other people have their Titaniums.
Is there a way I can check the cars progress without having to deal with the dealer?

unlikely. My only other guess would be CRC, but i doubt they'd have access to the info.

As far as the LED's, they are there....it's like 2 stripes which run horizontal on each rear tail light....I'm currently driving a titanium so I'll try and take a pic for you tonight.... they are separate to the Halogen tail lamps...they are more the parkers if that makes any sense... Quote:

With all the disasters in Thailand, I bet you guys are having a tough time getting Rangers. At just when they're launched, which would make it twice as bad.

I got mine at a decent price, I guess with the "free auto" deal. If you look up Car Sales you can see the same for the Sport. They may tell you that they have "limited" colors for this promo, but that's just trash.

I know that pain. At least my date is drawing closer. It will be a full 8 weeks when I take delivery this weekend!
They would have me think that they are selling like hot cakes but I'm lucky to have seen 4 Focii since I put my deposit down in mid September! |
