Big Damo
I changed from a WP (07) Fiesta manual last November to a 6/08 TDCI Focus 6 speed manual.
The air con is fine-I live in Qld and it copes fine.
Just some positives and negatives
If you havent driven a diesel you will find it very different.
Yes it has bags of torque particuarly when past the burbs...but unless you boot it and it will wheelspin in 1st and 2nd its slow off the mark.
Fuel economy is great mine is 5.2 mainly freeway runs with aircon on.
However it does not handle corners that great and if you are a windy rd driver it wont cut it..doesnt handle as well as a petrol focus.
Mine has the crap Goodyear NCT original tyres showing little wear at 44000 but gee are they noisy.
Mine also has a bit of rust around the left hand hatch area.
So if you want one make sure you like the engine!!
