Dual climate zone in a Focus?  Man that's upscale :D (and even money says its not even an option when the new Focus arrives here)

Ugh and the splitting of the wipers and lights? -shudder-

Daniel , those lights only come on all at once when you first turn the key ! :lol: They're not so "scattered " .How hard is to see both dials at once ? I think that pic was showing that the car was equipped with ESP also nothing more . Wipers and lights are on the same side . Same as my Focus . On the left it's the turn signal with the 3 blinks feature when you slightly move the lever up or down , without engaging the cam .

I just like having all the "idiot lights" in one place (I guess I'm strange like that) but when I see them all over the dashboard like that I'm thinking the designer was like "Meh, doesn't matter where they go, no one pays attention to them anyways".

So the stalk on thee right is only for the rear wiper then? Kinda hard to tell from the picture.

It's for the front wipers and if you pull to you engages the rear wiper . What you see on the left is the turn signal and that up-down thing is for the on board computer display menu . Also this car has Steering settings - Normal , Comfort and Sport . It seems that steering is electric but I tell you on Sport mode feels just as good as my SVT . Overall it's got the same type of layout -turn signal , lights , wiper switch , etc- only more and better . I am not trying to convince anybody of anything , I just like the car and shared my impressions about it .
