1. The armrest is in the way of the shifter for MTX...

2. The button for the hatch release never works when I press it (only had it work for girls...lol)

3. The Hatch can't be opened when the vehicle is running

4. The foglights melt inside when using any other bulb than the stock ones, and then they let water in and ruin them. Oh yeah, and they are $100 each...

5. Gear rollover noise in first 3 gears on older model Foci with the MTX

6. Antenna breaks off easily in winter, as it's made with white metal

7. Pull handles for tipping the front seats break off easily too, because they are white metal

8. When fueling up the vehicle, I can fill it until fuel spills down the side of the car...ensuring it IS full, then drive 1/2 km and watch the needle drop an 8th of a tank, and then being able to drive over 75km's on empty...hate the vague guage

9. Blow shifts to 2nd gear more often than I'd like because the gate for 2nd doesn't like to line up when being shifted aggressively..

Besides all of that stuff, I like everything else about the car...nicer designed interior with higher grade plastics, decent stock stereo compared to others, better handling and steering feel out of the box, unique styling that isn't bland or cookie cutter like it's competitors, decent clutch feel and gear shifter operation when the vehicle is newer.

I'm still considering buying another one (sedan) as a daily driver/family vehicle...
