Ford Focus Zetec : Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:23 pm  
When is a Ford Focus with a 1.8 l Zetec engine called a 'Focus Zetec' and when is it called a 'Focus LX'?

Because we have one for sale and I want to know why I can't advertise it as a 'Focus Zetec'!!

You'd be better asking the place that your advertising it on and why they haven't got that description in their database.

Zetec is refered to as a model name although its the engine variation, so it shoudl be in any database list of models.

The DVLA think it's an LX, but it is quite definitely a Zetec engine!

That suggests it's an LX with a Zetec engine then.

I don't understand why you're getting bothered about it, the Ford badge should be enough to put anyone off anyway

Zetec is the name used for a range of Ford engines, however it is also used on some models of Ford cars as the name of trim level along with others such as LX, Ghia and Titanium.

That depends:

Zetec

Duratec

Only Dagenham Dustbins could be so ambiguous

Are there any car makes you DO like, Cod'ead?

In terms of Ford Focuses, I honestly cannot think of a more boring, unimaginitive choice to make, and I really cannot imagine ANYONE sitting at home thinking "Phwoar, I really MUST buy one of those Focuses. They're wonderful!"

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the only people who drive Focuses are company car drivers who have no choice in the matter, or people who just shuffle along to the Ford showroom as a matter of course when their car wants renewing, not even realising there are other types of car out there.

I am sure if you buy enough Werthers Originals you eventually get a free Focus, or maybe a Honda Cervix.

Re: Ford Focus Zetec : Mon Jul 30, 2012 3:10 pm  
I've got a Peugeot 307, a boring Focus clone, not even a "sports" model or a decent trim level, its a 1.6S which despite what Peugeot think isn't "sports".

On the other hand I wanted something cheap to drive 20 miles a day in, nothing more required and so I got a cheap second hand car from a local dealer, and its cheap and it does 20 miles a day and I don't drive it around disused airfields on two wheels nor do I try and burn all the rubber off the tyres in supermarket car parks at 10pm, I don't know how fast it will go and don't care, I don't yet know how fast it will accelerate from traffic lights and won't ever try while I'm paying for the petrol and in any case there's always another set 200 yards down the road.

When I asked what colour it was they said "blue" and I said "fine" and as far as I'm bothered its just another way of getting to work where I don't get wet, the alternative method is cycling which I enjoy far more, is quicker in a morning, gets me fit, but gets me wet when it rains.

Having spent multiples of £10k's on all sorts of cars in the past, I now don't give a fook what I drive as long as it starts first time every morning and does not require me to lift the bonnet between service visits (which are about 20k on this car)
