Default bought a new Ford finally!

Hey all,

I'm going to be part of the the Focus crew tomorrow! Employee pricing got me and I bought a Sport manual hatch in Lunar Sky. Pretty excited since it will be my first new Ford. Will post some pics some time. And no, I can't tell you how much I got it for!

Congrats you wont be disappointed.
We got our Sport last year, love the way they drive feels like they belong on the road, we often travel 3 hours one way to visit my mum and we take the Focus over the Falcon for driving experience any day.

The LW Focus really is a fantastic car!

My Mrs has had her Titanium for about a month, and every day we love it more.

Mad props to Ford for a job well done.

Congrats on the purchase!

Drove my car out the door for the weekend and I am more than happy. Looking forward to the many kms for the future! I bought an external HD for the Sync system but couldn't get it to work. After a bit of research I had to format to fat32 (annoying with windows 8 as it doesn't format to fat32 anymore) you have to use 3rd party software. Anyway got it working and I have my whole library in my car! Voice control is brilliant for this, I just say the band or track and it finds it! No messing through the menu and eyes off the road. Love it!

Cool, I am also one impressed with the voice recognition, that technology is as flakey as, but the voice recognition in the Focus is faultless, just say "you're the voice" and it happens.
