Ford Focus LZ (2015-2018)

A keeper, pleasure to drive – Bought an 1.00L Ecoboost Fiesta Sport in 2017 due to falling in love with an EcoBoost 1.0-L turbocharged Ford Focus I'd hired for 2 months in the UK . The Focus model and engine wasn't available in Australia. After driving a new RAV4 for a several months, I decided 'not for me'. Kept drifting back to how much fun the Ecoboost turbo-charged UK… Read more

Focus was to drive. Did my buyer's research and test drove several smaller SUVs on the market. I test drove the Ford Focus 1.5L LZ Sport for comparison - totally in love again. No competition in handling performance and fun ! Its been a year with my LZ Sport, a keeper ! Love the LZ Sport, its an excellent car, don't hesitate, test drive it and see for yourself. (The 'little sister' Ford Fiesta 1.0L Sport remains in the family :-), win win).

Lemon broken faulty Car from new that has cost me thousands in "Attempted repairs" – Daily light commuting and light use serviced by the authorised Ford dealerships and by the book service. The car has been well maintained and is almost like in a as new showroom condition. Thats the comment I always used to get " is the car new" A shame that the car has been an unreliable lemon from day 1. From the very first few months of… Read more

ownership the Engine light kept coming on. Numerous Ford Dealers and repair attempts. But alas no dealer could fix it. The bills were shocking, running from 1000 to 2000 dollars including basic service which averaged around 300 to 400 dollar book service. The Ford dealers never fixed the problem and all that they were doing was clearing the faulty code.

In one case they replaced the barometric sensor. That still did not fix the problem despite another 2000 dollar bill and the car sitting idle while I was on holiday! I complained to Ford customer care, and they appear sincerely interested. Ford experts" were involved and even they could not fix this lemon of a car! Then one dealer after the service changed the PCM module and with 1 week of driving the vehicle and having the car serviced the light came on. The dealer did not even have the service manager did not even have the decency to call me back while i was trying to get him to look at it immediately. The engine warning light kept coming on. Took it to a Ford dealer who did a scan and cleared the code. This time the light did not come on for about 8 months. Thats when I took it in for a basic service thinking that its fixed. How wrong was I. Did the basic service drove home and let the car sit over xmas break. Went back to work, started the car and the engine light came on. Called the dealer "Ford experts involved" They said the system contaminated. So to replace a barometric sense(cheap part) and spray some cleaner into the inlet manifold they charge me just under 1800 dollars. You would think such a huge repair bill would fix this Ford Australia Lemon Focus Car. But nah, the engine light came on again.

This time I contacted Ford Customer care who seemed concerned and said they would tried to help me. The dealer manager contacted me and asked if I was making a claim. Ford played tango with regular contact calls. In the End the claim was rejected for the Ford Focus LZ lemon car. Even the dealer agreed that I had bought a lemon and seem very cold hearted and blunt while almost mockingly agreeing that I bought a lemon from their dealership. He further stated that I can take "other legal options" But really after losing thousands in repairs bills in trying to fix Fords Lemon focus car who can afford to engage a lawyer? The while episode has been a financial disaster for me and my family and to think that every year of ownership has cost me 2000 dollars in repair bills. Now this car is like new because we had no confidence in using going anywhere because we were afraid of engine damage, breakdowns etc etc. The worst part about Ford Customer care and the rotten dealer who stuffed up the car is that on ever service invoice it mentions the problems and their incompetent attempts at fixing it. I jumped online and got access to the USA Ford dealer repair database. The repair cost on hundreds of these cares averaged to 300 dollars with complete success. And here in Australia not even the "Ford Experts" could fix this car. Its even worst when one of their mechanics claimed that "he was no familiar with the product since its not a popular to seller" I guess they only employ mechanics who can change oil and run up huge repair costs for something that they cant fix.

End result is now I have to try and find someone who can really fix this problem or I have to write the car off. If Ford cant fix the PCM and this fault I doubt I will find a specialist who can. I bought a 30,000 dollar Ford Focus lemon that has ruined me financially. Ford are really good at walking away from their failed car models that are lemons and likewise their dealers. But its sad when my car was damaged by the dealer and Ford wont even help by recognising that one of their incompetent dealers ruined my car.

I would caution anyone from buying any Ford Lemon Focus model from this era and likewise any limited or Ford specialised car models because they certainly dont stand behind their products and nor are their dealerships trained to fix these high complex vehicles. If you cant afford to throw money away on lemons dont buy a Ford. Their poor behaviour is reflected in all the court fines and consumer actions against them which they all lost. But because they can screw individual owners and can get away with it they do. Its a pity we dont have Lemon laws in Australia that would help people like me who lose massively because of poorly designed cars that are poorly supported. Sad that even today car companies like Ford can have unconscionable conduct towards consumers like me by defending and putting consumers in a terrible financial positions with their horrible and poorly designed products. I will verify my ownership once I scan my contract. Please contact me if you have had a similar issue. My only choice now is to go to consumer affairs to see if I can get some financial remedy for repairs that did not repair the fault. Its just a massive disaster for me since I have no car to go to work with. I will never buy another Ford vehicle again. Should have bought a Toyota or Mazda or some other reliable product. I thought that Ford would sort their issues out in an honourable manner but alas all their conduct has demonstrated is that they will do everything to hide and wiggle out of their responsibility.

A Great Car – The LZ Focus is fantastic, so I hope potential buyers don't label the LZ with the LW's problems (the LW before the LZ had a major problem with the transmission but I believe that's been fixed now, if you're thinking of buying an LW). The LZ has a great 6-speed auto with an S mode to drive it like a manual with overdrive, and an ecoboost 1.5L… Read more

engine with as much power as we need on standard unleaded petrol. Great fuel economy: 7.6L/100km stop-start around the suburbs with 2 adults and often 3 grandchildren (child locks help with younger kids). 6.0L/100km on a trip with 2 adults loaded up from Melbourne to Coffs Harbour and back via the coast road at the speed limits. The sedan boot holds 2 large suitcases if you need them, plus lots more stuff. (The salesperson thought we were paying with cash when we tested the boot size with the two large suitcases!) Cruise control is a dream, and the interior is so quiet. Steering and braking are fabulous. Tech is excellent -- phone integration is perfect, and the stereo is great. It's very easy to park: the rear sensors and camera are great. The large display with maps, music tracks and am/fm radio is really good. Our Red Candy colour is easy to see (safe) and looks spectacular. All the interior controls are within easy reach. We added the convenience pack, 6 year warranty and Protektiv Complete Vinyl Kit. We have it serviced at Etheridge Ford, Ringwood, VIC, because it's not expensive and they know what they're doing and include RACV; they also have terrific service staff!! All in all, a great investment worth test driving first and last.

2017 LZ Focus Trend – I purchased my LZ focus about a month ago so far very impressed with the driving quality the focus offers and all the gadgets that come with the newly updated sync 3 system with bulit in navigation as standard I bought it as a demo with 1,500kms on the clock and I drove it over to Melbourne from adelaide within 2 days of owning it and it offered… Read more

an amazing average usage of 5.2L per 100km of petrol and the trip was $160 round trip with detours I was very impressed with the fuel economy.

Knowing the focus has gone to a 6speed torque converter automatic transmission is way better then that troublesome dual clutch system they were running which now has been scrapped.

The torque converter system works the way you'd like any automatic transmission to run with smooth gear changes.

If you like a powerful, economical and great looking car with plenty to offer I'd recommend the LZ focus which comes with fords 5 year unlimited km warranty for that peace of mind very pleased with my purchase and looking to the years to come.

So impressed - better than I imagined – Very happy with my Focus sport, great handling especially on winding roads - sticks to the road, so easy to handle and so responsive. Great acceleration -I beat everyone off the lights even the most powerful cars. Comfortable drivers seat. Plenty of oomph to overtake on highways.Everyone who has driven my car is impressed - a delight to drive. Show details

Very good overall vehicle with only reasonable economy – I sadly had the Trend auto model before and after 3 years traded it back in on the 2016 LZ sport. The one exceptional thing about the Trend was fantastic fuel economy and repeatedly went from Perth to Toodyay return ( 200k's ) for 11 litres of fuel. The LZ uses 17 litres for the same trip. Not particularly good. Average for outer Perth use is… Read more ·  1

between 8-9 litres per 100. I was told by Ford service it's normal and no adjustment can me made. There is also an occasional smell of petrol coming from under the bonnet but again Ford service can find nothing wrong. Those things apart it's a decent car with enough power for a 72 year old like myself and in just over 2 years and 14000 km's nothing has gone wrong with it.

I was amazed with the total package – Well when my wife suggested I buy her a new economical car to run out to her work approximately 80klm each way, I started doing a little homework and thought I’d probably buy one of the most popular brands like my favourite 4x4 because you like feeling like king of the road however after accessing it I just found it hard to go past the Ford Focus… Read more

and with 5 year warranty unlimited kilometres I thought how could you go wrong, the power of the 1.5L turbo engine has also shocked me, I can now see how they became car of the year and with the 5 star ancap safety rating its a winner, my wife still smiles each time she drives it and now it’s 6 months old and already got 18000klm and not a issue and I really don’t expect any issues to arise, and it was cheaper than similar same size cars on the market at the time well done Ford.

Worst car out there – Worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ve had 3 ford cars. Now I’m gonna sell it at another dealership and buy a completely new car. I’m glad they got fined 10 million dollars. They should have been fined more! Worst customer service error given. First was the 2014 Ford Fiesta which had a serious transmission problem. I had to discuss this… Read more

to my parents for months to years and a bit before they listed to me about the problem. I went to ford multiple times. All the times they said it was fine nothing wrong with it. After more complaints they did a software update, which fixed it for 1-2 weeks than they did clutch replacement which solved it for 6-8 weeks before the problem came back.

Than back to a software update where they left it there cause they couldn’t do anything anymore. I was stuck with it until 2015 late where they only offered a upgrade of $10,000. I got into a 2015 Ford Focus in December 2015 but didn’t get it until January 2016. I ended up paying $12,500 on the upgrade. They ripped me off $2,500. Than I drove the car for nearly 10,000km where I noticed the problem starting and didn’t want to go through with it again with Ford. But I had too. I sold it though ford and they gave me $20,500 back but told me I had to buy another one of there’s. I than got the 2016 Ford Focus model cause they said it didn’t have the dual clutch problem but a 6 speed auto and rated 5 stars. I had to pay $22,951.00. The car was fine for the first 15,000km but than I noticed something not quite right with it. I continued driving until 25,000km where I noticed the jerking started. At 30,000km I made my first complaint to the dealer and they did the service and the software update. After the update the problem became more frequent and now at 37,000km i now have to get it looked at again and checked to see how serious the jerking is and if it needs the clutch replaced. I’ve just done it today and now have to wait another 2 weeks while the car adepts up to your driving style.

My only hope if the ACCC gets a new law out to get any car complained about this transmission problem, removed and customer given a refund or if optionally full replacement of what they had.

Ford has taken more than $25,000 out of our account. $45,000 for an upgrade only and no refund. Taking more money out. I’ve gone through 3 cars.

I hate this cause I like the design on the inside and and how it looks but this transmission, is what ruins it.

I’ve had to many drives get annoyed at me because I was unable to pull out like most drivers can. I’ve had to leave longer stopping distance and braking so I can stop safely without rear ending people

But the areas that affect this is the

stop start traffic, long drives of up to move than 40 minutes, and in city’s, going up hills or down. Or even going in a straight line.. but it’s fine for up to 3 hours.

Perform good if think of the price – Perform stable and smooth with high speed especially on highway. Engine is quiet. But the interiors are quite rough, some plastic part come out just after two month purchasing. Air con not very good as running slow. Think about the safety, it’s quite reliable hatch car with around 20k price.  Show details

Fuel Economy! – Purchased a Focus Sport last September (2016). Thought it was a great all rounder, Handles very well and is a pleasure to drive.Until I noticed how much fuel it was using. The main selling point for this car to me was economy. Advertised as 6.7 L/100 km. I get between 10.5 and 11.5 L/100 km from this car and only once got just below 10 L/100 km… Read more

from a tank full. This issue has been looked into by Ford who returned a verdict of nothing wrong with the car and believe that the figures I am returning are within the specifications so will do no more about it. What disappointing support. The Car is fantastic to drive and has some great features but costs me a fortune to run as fuelling up a tank every 430 km. The car would be perfect if it wasn't for the appalling economy. Buy at your own risk as you will get little support in sorting out an issue like mine.

Well Built – I have just sold my 2017 LZ auto hatchback. In my 2 and a half years of ownership I found it to be well built with few discernible rattles or squeaks, the structure was very rigid. The rear view camera is large & clear. The controls are simple to use and it had a good heater and cool air conditioning. Over 18,000 km I averaged 8.8 L/100 km, with… Read more

90% of the km's being city/metro driving. It's initial acceleration was not overly brisk but once at 40 km/h and above its mid range performance was strong. At 110 km/h its revs were 2,000 rpm. The ride was a bit firm around town, dropping the tyre pressures from the recommended value helped improve the ride. Overall I was happy with the car and had no problems.

Love it! – Bought this car as second owner with 73,000km and i love it! it looks great drives great couldn't ask for anything more! Never had any issues at all, its great on fuel too! it would be amazing for a first car owner the fact the base model comes with sat nav and cameras is amazing (mines an ecoboost)  Show details

Ford have really got this focus right – After experiencing the earlier Ford Focus trend auto 2.0 litre model LW 2013 that was plagued with transmission problems, I was reluctant to accept what was an extremely generous offer from Ford, to accept a new model LZ. After some research and being aware that the LZ has a new 1.5L turbo engine coupled with a new 6 speed torque converter gearbox… Read more

together with an extensive test drive, I decided to accept Fords offer but to upgrade to the S model with the Tech pack. This little car is a gem. Great handling, responsive performance and to date, after 20000 klms, with the exception of a faulty electric boot opening switch, that was promptly replaced under warranty, it has performed above expectations. I believe the LW model has destroyed sales of this little beauty which is a tragedy as there are few if any comparative vehicles on the market that would be superior to this.

I love it – It has been with me for two and a half years, 22000+kms, still so new and has never been any problems. Fuel consumption typically between 6.0 to 7.5 litres / 100 km. I don't know much about cars, but this car feels good to me. Appearance is very beautiful, I love it.  Show details

A better drivers car! – Ford have finally packaged a Focus with world class driving dynamics, engine, transmission, suspension tuning plus the high levels of safety tech have ensured the LZ series delivers at almost every level. The early ownership experience has so far been above expectations, the area I would mark down this Focus on would be the fuel consumption around… Read more

town, hopefully this will be offset by the claimed highway consumption. The Sync3 connectivity appears to be one of best around, once I master it. In summary, as I have been driving for over 50 years I must say I am glad they don't make cars like they did in the 1960's, FoMoCo should learn a lesson from this model, get it right the first time, the LW product issues almost stopped me from buying this car, until I drove the LZ.

Ford Focus RS... just awesome – After enjoying four great years with the Subaru BRZ, it was time to look for a car with a bit more space, perhaps more performance, didn’t compromise on handling... and, of course, manual. Sad to let the BRZ go but the Ford Focus RS is simply awesome. What a great car! The Focus RS strikes the balance of fun and practicality. The term hot… Read more

hatch doesn’t so it justice. This is an athlete which growls and pops as you go (note the engine can be a bit “hungry”)... and you can fit two baby seats and a pram behind those Recaros!

First Ford and the solid feel was a nice surprise. Smooth and quality gear shift is such a pleasure you don’t notice that it might be slightly long for a sports car.

Some people have complained about the ride. It is true that it is firm and too “jiggly”. However, it is a sport car and no worse than a BRZ or 86.

It would be nice if the Recaro seats had a height adjustment and the rear view camera had a higher resolution but these are minor comments. A couple of issues picked up following delivery but Ford Service fixed them and provided a complimentary car whilst in the shop.

I also like the fact the Focus RS is such great value and delivers performance comparable to a AMG A43 or BMW M2.

Great little car – Great little car for basic running around. Packed full of features. Lots of boot space for its size. Feels more like a larger sedan to drive but has the convenience of being a small car for city parking. Loads of tech so its full of features and feels more like a premium vehicle than a small run about  Show details

Relaxing Driving Experience – The 2016 Ford Focus got back into my list because its not using the Power Shift anymore. I also like this car for the following reasons. Others may differ. After test driving a few cars, this is the one that I can really sit back and feel relax while driving. This is how I like to drive the car, though occasionally I am able to have some fun… Read more

driving it differently. The 132-kilowatter Focus LZ sport is quite zippy for me. I find this car most suitable for suburb driving and the sports mode and the early turbo kick-in is useful for overtaking and to beat the red lights. Its a small car with enough power.

I don't have long legs and the driver's seat can be adjusted so my right foot is never dangling or straining but lightly resting on the accelerator, feel comfortable with my buttock and under-thigh pressing evenly on the seat. I can't drive a car without back support and this one has manual adjustment.

Radio reception is very good. The Sony player reads the cover picture of the CD or mp4 file and title of the song. It also plays my FLAC music through a thumb-drive, mobile phone and digital player. Sound quality after minor adjustment is fairly good.

I like to be able to use any grade of petrol, and the once-a-year servicing at 15000kms helps, but running cost is subjective. Road noise is minimum with the fitted Michelin tyre. On smoother road it is very quiet because with windows up, the interior is almost free of outside noise driving around the suburb or even on a 70k highway. Visibility from inside is still good for a short person. Dashboard is large and deep, but all controls and knobs can be reached easily while driving. Lots of adjustment with the aircon and can be real cold.

Dislike: Road map upgrade is hard to come by. The car horns when I get out and shut the door while the engine is on. May have to use different setting. The headrest cannot be lowered far enough to meet the backrest. Could have asked for a different headrest. Part of the door handle inside is hard plastic and its a let-down.

Off course there are other things people like or dislike about this car which have been said already.

Love my car! – Love the look and feel of this car. wanted something that blended in with everyone but had just enough character to stand out. also love that it doesn't have too many gadgets but just enough to be modern. It's very responsive to the pedal, not the cheapest to run but compared to my 13 year old car it does the same fuel usage.  Show details

2 years old and still happy ! – A spritely performer with well weighted controls and great steering feel. Quiet and comfortable cruising on the highway and still responsive enough to offer this old petrolhead some fun in the twisties. No warranty issues at all after 28000km and fuel consumption typically between 6.0 to 7.5 litres / 100 km. Sync 2 infotainment / nav superior to… Read more

many much more expensive cars.

No complaints from me and no intention of trading up any time soon ... well done Ford.

Great big brother car without powershift – My Jan 2016 ford focus is a great little car, drives smoothly no issues so far great price at time, is the one without the trouble power shift. Good size small family car, good size boot compared to the little brother Fiesta. Great inclusions with the trend, nav, reversing camera, but missed out on Apple car play by 6 months. But honeslty not… Read more

needed if you have nav included with blue tooth, as apple car play uses your data.

Please do passed bad reviews of powershift models scare you from non.

Second family car – We bought the ford focus sport about a month ago as a second car for my wife to use for work - overall its a great little car Great to drive handles well although a little sluggish if you dont use the gears - yes we bought a manual - coming from the UK where manual cars are the norm rather than the exception as here in Oz. Interior and… Read more

exterior are very good and the interior design and trim is excellent quality

As a little run around - its definitely work a look

Great Compact Car – After larger car, this ticks all the boxes especially for parking. Great for steering, vision and enough room in the boot. Nice red colour, good to look at and quiet on the road. Plenty gadgets although we,re happy with CD slot, usually missing these days. A good choice for us ’young pensioners’ to downsize.  Show details

Excellent Car – I have owned my Ford Focus Sport (auto) since March and am impressed. I have traveled 11000ks and so far no issues. The engine is very responsive and is mated to a 6 speed standard auto gearbox. . Interior is well designed with 8" display sync 3 which works seamlessly. Seats are also very comfortable. There are plenty of cars in this segment but… Read more

I chose the ford for it's handling and styling. The car feels solid . No rattles or squeaks and runs on standard unleaded.

If your looking for a small hatch you might want to consider the Focus . It is fun to drive.

Love my Ford Focus Titanium – If you love driving, then you will love the Ford Focus. I have been shopping around for a new vehicle for a while, comparing different brands and features. The performance and handling is great. The interior is beautiful and the seats are comfortable. This car has MyKey which is great for parents with young drivers to setup the speed, volume of… Read more

the radio etc. This car can park itself! I'm yet to try it but one day I will for a bit of fun. Only thing missing which if you've never had it you won't miss it is seat warmers. Some other vehicles had this feature but the heater does a great job for those cold days. Sync 3 can expand with new apps and has endless growth with more potential. It's a great feature especially using hands free for everything. I use premium petrol, by choice and it costs me $50 to fill the tank. It goes a long away. I'm extremely happy I shopped around and waited for this car. I've had my car for just over 3 months and I wouldn't change it. The staff at Binks Ford have been amazing and excellent service team. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a small car.

LUV IT – I have the base model trend hatch and could not be happier with the features- handling- power -and overall style of the car.This car feels and drives like a six with 132kw on tap and good torque.The automatic gearbox is seemless in shifting and the turbo has no lag when flooring from a standstill.The sat-nav sync 3 is so user friendly with a big 8… Read more

inch touchscreen.I highly recommend anyone considering this car to buy one it's really a no brainer for the money.

Great find in the small car range – We bought the new focus, Turbo engine in March 2016 and it has been nothing but a pleasure to drive this car. It's easy to drive around, has got the power in its Turbo and is perfect for city and long distance driving. Great fuel economy too!!! The interiors are great. The sound system, Bluetooth, sat nav etc and e all touch screens. The cruise… Read more

controls , volume, FM tuning etc are all buttons on the steering wheel that gives the driver ease of use. Everyone was surprised to see the SAT Nav but this feature is a standard in the base range of the Focus trend (upgrade in most other cars)

Overall, love the car.. winning blue has won our hearts.

Huge improvement – The 2016 Ford Focus (LZ) is a huge improvement on the previous LW model. The Powershift transmission and dual clutch have been replaced with a conventional Torque Converter automatic transmission. It's an extremely smooth ride from start to finish with the 1.5l ecoboost engine giving plenty of power. On an open road or city driving it handles… Read more

perfectly with no excessive noise and economical petrol consumption.

Inside, the Sync3 technology is intuitive and easy to set up and operate. In fact you get more you'd expect for the base model, Trend.

I haven't had it long but his time Ford got it right - a pleasure to drive and a huge difference to previous models.

A fantastic Small Hatch! – I've had the Focus for about 6 months now. It's very smooth and refined to drive. Very quiet too. The Ecoboost 1.5lt engine and 6 speed transmission are a beautiful combination. Someone said in an earlier review it reminded them of a Ford 6 cylinder, and it's very true. The transmission loves the higher gears in normal mode, so the engine lopes… Read more

along at around 1500rpm - 1800rpm at normal driving speeds, which makes the Focus very quiet. Put your foot down slightly and rather than changing down a gear, the engine uses its torque to just pull away. Very much like a 6 cylinder. The Focus has always been the benchmark for handling in this class (plenty of 3rd party reviews out there to confirm this), and it's true. It's like this thing is on rails! The ride is firm in the Titanium (18" wheels and very low profile tyres, so there is not much rubber to absorb the really harsh bumps), but generally it is a very comfortable ride.

The SYNC 3 Infotainment System is amazing. Natural voice commands (and it pretty much understands everything you say to it). The sound system is pretty good (Sony, 9 speakers in the Titanium). The navigation is first rate. Nice big 8" high res colour screen that is nicely integrated into the dashboard, and the basics of which are duplicated on the small hi-res screen between the speedo and tacho.

Haven't had any issues with reliability so far (but it is early days). Capped price servicing is a bonus. 7 years roadside assist, 7 years of map upgrades. All in all I can't complain.

This thing sips fuel!, which is bizarre, considering its performance. I don't do a lot of K's, but it seems very economical to run. Costs around 60 bucks to fill it.

Fit and finish inside and out? Can't complain. It's not a Mercedes/BMW/Bentley, but everything fits, everything works, and works really well, and it's a very comfortable space to be in on the road.

Considering how popular the Focus is in Europe, Im surprised they don't sell in bigger volumes in Australia. I compared all the small hatches available in Australia, and the LZ Focus seemed to offer just that bit more, along with Ford Dealer incentives :)

Very smooth especially for urban driving – Reminds me of the 6 cylinder auto fords on the road in the late 90s -and recent , except the steering and handling is superior. It is very quiet, refined and just plain comfortable to drive. The power train and the torque converter are a perfect match especially in urban and heavy traffic with more than enough power when the throttle is opened… Read more

up. Good decision Ford you have listened to what drivers want and got rid of that terrible dual clutch gear box. This is the main reason i bought one. This car has finally has been upgraded to a proper standard. Currently getting around 630 out of a tank in city driving. i prefer 95 Ron petrol but also use 91.

cant comment on reliability but I have had Fords for 20 years with absolutely no issues. Touch wood

WoW what a drive – This is an awesome vehicle- We upgraded our 2011 Focus to the 2017 LZ model we optioned it with the tech pack. Yes- you will want to take the long road home- such is the overall driving experience with this vehicle . The engine/ gearbox combo is best I have ever come across. The sitting position the overall dash/ touchscreen is perfect as is the… Read more

sat nav -- The "tech pack" includes adaptive cruise control which once you have used it is a must have. Had it only for 3 weeks 400k - too early to comment on durability seems well built. Economy average has been 6.7l/100km on the 1.5 litre turbo.

Great IMPROVEMENT – Excellent Small -Medium FORD -Much Better Transmission than LW Plenty of room inside ALSO ample power , Leather trim is Great + ALL the added SAFETY features are Excellent -WELL WORTH the extra. The 7' "touch Screen is Great "much better than LW" GPS system is "BEST Full of SAFETY Features -Lane passing on mirrors is excellent  Show details

great car for me – Never breakes down coast me 60 dallars to fill it got every thing I need easy to was only need general service easy driving parking steers great has great storage space and fits 4 people with no problems all.
