Whats the story with the Mondeo, abysmal figures there. Yet superior in everyway to the horrid small SUVs that people have transitioned to from conventional sedans/wagons.

Hi smoo. The mechanic was not associated with Ford. My point was that people in general hear the stories and have friends/relatives with older model Focus's and the current ads that are running just are not selling the fact that this is a new transmission and in no way similar to those with problems. Word of mouth is a powerful advertising tool especially if it is negative.
