I've got a 2016 with 45000kms and the only issue I've had is the tailgate manual release failed.
Great car in my opinion

That's close enough to new and just out of warranty,it would wanna be good.
This is the third focus I have owned since 2013 and the second lw was good until it was bad.
I would expect twice those no actually three times those Klms before I'd consider it good,and so far I think I'm right.
Great cars,my daughter has the 2017 titanium with the safety and executive package.now that's a really nice focus.

Point is your a dealership and what you post carries more weight.

If you want to have a joke with friends ,mate that's all good.
But your posting from a ford dealership.
If you post something that is not inline with your dealer principle and I take offence to it and no longer want to deal with that dealership because of your in joke with your mate how's your dp going to view it.
Have a look at another thread on here regarding a royal Crimson mustang,if you were the dealership that sold him that car and posted on here you'd be roasted.
If you want to play my opinion is remove Cumberland ford from your posts.

I don't doubt what you have to say about Craig,and in fact I'd like to highlight how much I respect and admire my local ford dealership,I live 5kms from one dealership and drive past another to and from work every day but I decide to drive 50kms out of my way just to deal with my preferred dealership.
What my point is here is if a dealership is going to comment on here they must be prepared to cop the flak.

Hey Craig you might have a couple of answers to these questions.

We had LS/LT/LV/LW/LZ Focus, whats the 2019 Focus......MA?

Also Craig do you think there is any possibility (excluding ST/RS) of a reasonably priced 6 speed manual Focus?

Hi Kev,

Always happy to help!

It's referred to as the SA on my system, and nothing showing for a manual option sorry.

Have a 2016 Focus Sport 1.5T petrol
just past 115000ks and has started to run rough

we have noticed little water use and error code suggests in cylinder 1 (confirmed with the state of spark plug in number 1)

After reading service bulletin in the states plus other reports out of the UK, possible fault with the block.
Seems to be an issue overseas

Would like to know if anyone else has had similar issue
