First the tint is coming off. And now were dissing the Focus?
Two points.
First, are you selling the car? Because it sure sounds like it.
Second, you bought it elcheapo. What were you expecting? Automatic pass. window? Cmon.
It's an econobox people. It aint perfect. But have you driven a Neon? Crapalier?

NO. LIAR!
But anyway, I wasn't saying that this doesn't exist.. but that is on the driver's side.. I thought at first he wanted this feature but actually on the passanger side.. but i guess he meant the same button on the driver's side, but for the passanger window
ZX3T gone..

So was the Neon, and Cavalier/Cobalt, now look at them! When quality demands at Ford are met, we should see a turbo'd Focus, I don't see why not sooner than later, as the Mazdaspeed3 should give them production idea. All in time... but I do agree, this would be a great option.
And although the auto down on the passenger side would be nice, why make such a convenience to the passenger, are they driving or something? :unsure:

Tint is coming off because it looks like s***.
Nope not selling it. I love my Ford Focus ;P
I'm not dissing the Focus Bryan.
EVEN HIGH-END CARS have design flaws. I just wanted to see what other people thought the flaws were in these cars.
Relax man.

Double post for theatrical effect? Or is that part of your gold Tx award design that us lower class focus driver's don't get? :lol:
And keep in mind. When you guys make fun of the fact I don't own or drive a Focus, it works both ways. I get to make fun of those that do drive a Focus. Would I trade my truck for a FOcus? Not on your life.
Now there's a debate brewing.

I have to say that a couple of the bigger flaws I've seen on the focus would be the hood release cable, which many have had to replace due to freezing up, etc and another would be the belt tensioner, which seems to continually have to be replaced again and again over the life of the car.

Oh yeah i just saw that.. I'm having lots of trouble with my hood release cable.. always gets stuck either when trying to pull it (i have to rip the thing out pulling the whole dash part) or when trying to close it, i need to press back on it from inside the car...

Oh, I forgot the other design piss off that Ford in their wisdom inflicted on the Focus.
Who's genius idea was it to put the hood prop along one of the fenders? Christ, pop hood, reach way in and nearly get giullotined unless you can yank that stupid yellow rod out of its wedged in hiding place and find the holes for it on the hood? Esp, in the near dark with a dark coloured car :rolleyes:
Can't wait for that hood strut to get here lemme tell ya <_<

Ok, here's what I don't like about it.
1. I don't like the fact that you can't open the trunk via the button release while the car is on.
2. The seats are uncomfortable.
3. The gearbox is clunky at best. A short shifter helps.
4. The fact the Euro's get the better car (including the RS)
5. The every falling value of the car.
