At ford they really don't give a **** about you.

What was your experience with them?

I've had my 2017 Focus Sedan Ecoboost for about 6 weeks now. And I really enjoy this car.

I would've liked the Techno Pack just for added toy value.
But I smaak this car stukkend.

The engine and gearbox are things of beauty.

Never lacking for power.

This weekend I'll I finally get to take it on a bit of stretch from home to Langebaan and then Caledon.

Urban driving, along with a few stints to Franschoek has my consumption with OBC at 6.1L/100km.
Gripes. Rear blind spots are weirdly dodge

If you are looking at the Ford Focus - check for the 1.5L Ecoboost over the 1.0L Ecoboost. I drive a 1.0L fiesta with the powershift in titanium very well speced. I drove a Kuga with the 1.5L Ecoboost Auto and that engine is so much better. I know that exact engine is available in the Focus cause a friend of mine has the 1.5 Ecoboost.

Mine is a first gen Fiesta doesn't have any issues with fire, the car is 9.5 years old already, haven't had a single issue.

Yeah man. Don't have much time to spend posting anymore

My 2017 Demo with 36000 on the clock came in at R192600 all in.

So I've put in my application for finance at a dealer. 175k for 20k on clock, 2017 model with mags. Missed out on a stunner for 170k with leather interior etc as the finance for that took 3 days and the car was sold to someone else. Hopefully next week they'll ring me with some good news, and I hope they offer a decent trade in price on my car.

I work from home so don't do too much driving which is why I don't want to spend too much.

Thanks bois.

Since you won't be driving much I'd suggest that you buy a car with higher than average mileage as the price is normally lower for these cars.
When it comes to selling time, after a few years, the car will then have lower than average mileage and would get a good price.

Consider a Honda - Ballade or even Jazz. The latter is very roomy.

Sounds good, hope it works out.

Gimme stats on the 2017 vehicle, model & spec etc.

I would look at the Kia or Hyhunday brands.
