Default Re: 2019 Ford Focus

Sign of the times really, it seems people just want basic transport with gizmos and nanny-aids. I bought an ST ex-demo to save some coin, and if your budget could stretch I believe it's worth it for all the other goodies that come with it, not only for the manual box. Cracker car IMO.



In my view a small 4 cyl (esp non-turbo) needs a manual to get the best from them, and that's what I would buy every time. But we're clearly in a minority and given the way things are in the US at the moment, I'm counting us lucky to be getting the new Focus at all.
