Unfortunately it hasnt helped, Focus gained a torque converter auto in 6sp guise with the 2015 LZ model and has continued to go backwards on the charts regardless.

If you saw a glass on the bench with 50% of it's internal volume filled with water, would you call it half full or half empty...

It’s not so much the fault that was the problem. The problem was paying top dollar for a car that didn’t work as it should have through no fault of the owners, only to have Ford screw them over slowly over years in some cases, then when they finally gave a half arsed settlement offer they gagged them and still didn’t admit fault.

All it would have taken was an admission they messed up, a decent trade in offer on a new Focus (or cash towards another make), and the problem would have been not even half as bad as it ended up being. We were lucky with the offer we got as we weren’t any worse off in the end but that was mostly due to the dealer coming to the party as well.

With regards to Focus, Ford are getting what they deserve right now.

My question has nothing to do with a car....

Chances are that glass would contain Adelaide water which has a bad rep, so id tip it out and pour a Coke.
The Coke is probably not much better than the water even though ive always enjoyed it, but thats not why i drink it, its because everyone else does.

Whats a Coke cost over there? Here its around $300

Is the thing about Adelaide water really true? Every time I've stayed in a short stay apartment hotel thing there they've had that fancy water filter thing.
