Default SA Focus 2018-2022

Those early adopters of the SA series Focus in 2018/19 will have their warranties expire within the next 12 or so months.

Where have owners of these early SA series vehicles thought of getting their vehicles serviced when the warranty expires? Continue at their Ford dealership, a local mechanic, or an independent Ford Europe specialist?

I'm in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and am interested in any Melbourne owners opinions.

Thx.

I've traded my 2019 Active in for a Mazda CX-30. Shame, because, Ford have nothing that really grabs me. Would have loved a Focus station wagon in Active trim, and neither the (s)Puma, or Escape can match the CX-30. If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely have gone for a Ranger, but these behemoths are becoming a road hazard. Their time will come. They make no sense in any city and will make less sense at the pump.

Really?
I have had an Escape twice as a loan car.
In what area s does the 2 litre Cx 30 surpass Escape?
Acceleration?
Handling?
Tech?

Good question. I've owned cars since 2015 and done all the servicing myself and this is the first car I've actually had the dealer service it since it has warranty.


I'll be moving out west from the north so if anyone can recommend in the west, keen to hear.

I couldn't answer that. I have a 2.5L Mazda CX-30 Astina so don't know about the 2.0L version. Not knocking the Escape, but I'm confident the CX-30 will blow it away in the tech department and would be pretty comparable in the handling department, and the power from the non-turbo engine is quite good, even if it doesn't quite match the Escape. Although older, CX-30 styling and interior is still far superior to the Escape, which, I have trouble remembering what it looks like because I hardly see any on the roads.
