2nd hand Focus tips

[Russ]

No harm in looking, it is an auto though and they are a bit thirstier on fuel than the manuals. I couldn't view the pics for some reason (maybe an issue with the server) but it's a one owner with service history and books so it's probably worth a look, kms are a bit higher than I would like but if it's been mostly highway K's then it would probably be OK, let us know how you get on

the focus is my wife's car so i don't drive it often. when i first saw the controls i thought the same. just as easy to just reach over and use the main controls on the actual radio. after using it, it does actually work quite well so i would agree with Russ.

Hi Guys
I have a 2006 LS Focus CL with the Safety Pack - it added ABS and Front and Side Airbags to the base level. There is also a Comfort Pack that adds Cruise Control and Stereo Controls to the steering wheel and possibly the base mag wheels.
I agree that the Cruise Control is the one thing missing from my car.
If you are looking for a well looked after sedan with a few mods and under 100,000 ks, I am looking to sell mine to get a larger ca with auto.
