I have had my LV suto diesel for about 18 months now. Can't say I have too many complaints but I suppose the best thing is the way it drives. If it wasn't for that it would be just like any other car. Haven't had any major issues and the air con is adequate (I'm in Perth) but certainly have seen better.
The combo of the diesel/6 speed auto is excellant although like most auto's it does sometimes pick the wrong gear. Well worth a comparison to the manual.
It does suffer from road noise (like all Focus do) and if you do a lot of city driving I wouldn't bother with the diesel at all. These cars love to cruise on the highway.
