I think the Focus is very likely the most popular Ford ever in Britain
in

I needed a reliable and inexpensive to maintain/operate car when I moved back
to Florida. The Focus won that contest hands-down.

first owner. Florida car that was driven to Rhode Island annually, dealer

Of course, it never made any sense that a company would put a product on
the market that could render itself useless under a normal use case.

No, the one I was going to book yesterday morning went up $93 by the time I got

The one I wanted to book last night went up $56 overnight while I waited for the
seller to call me back and tell me if he could do it that day.

That article still doesn't address the issue of what would happen if the car is
left in storage for a few months without being charged- a very common scenario.

Just like any battery, if you could completely disconnect
it during storage it'd be a lot happier. But these

Sounds awesome, but then I'd have a car stranded in Indiana.
I think I'll just go to LAN and take the flight with the too many connections.

As long as I know what I have to do, this would not dissuade me from getting a

Talked to the Indy again this AM, and he said that I really should service the

The cause of the dreaded hard electronic limp mode on the 5sp trans, which
usually leaves you stuck in first gear. Annoying ten miles from home, tragic 500
miles from home.

Whatever works for you. It would be nice to know what the symptoms are now
before the fix. If it's the spring, I would expect poor shifting from 2-3 and

Of course, if you hooked your bricked Tesla to a dumb charger and it
