Default Focus Variable Mode Steering

Having a look at some UK press, I noticed some Focuses over there have a toggle that allows you to vary the steering weight - comfort, sport & standard modes.

Do we have that feature in Focuses here - sounds like a great application of the electric steering technology.

This option is not fitted to Australian Foci. I believe our steering racks here are already tuned to the sportier style.

I drove one with such a rack fitted and it makes a noticeable difference, accessed through the trip computer setup. But honestly I'd never use it... pain in the bum and if you're an enthusiast you'll leave it on the sports setting always anyway!!
