This is exactly what I've been telling everyone that asks. The Focus was a little out of character for me but they are the exact reasons why I went Focus over Golf, or anything else in the size/class.

The 18" rims really do give it that sporty and performance look about it. The only difference between mine and yours are the rims and it really does set them apart.

Looks great!

Joe5619 · 21-12-2011, 10:54 PM

I'm starting to see a few of them around now.. They must be selling well??

They do look much much better in the flesh, than in pictures

ConradP · 21-12-2011, 11:17 PM

Those rims are nice as, and I too am seeing alot more around.

SaCrow · 22-12-2011, 01:23 AM

Looks Great !!!

Still bloody waiting for mine, Ship landed in Melbourne on the 15th & it's still in Melbourne !!

Ford are slow moving stock around !!

I was hoping to have it by xmas but getting a car to Adelaide in 9 days is expecting a bit much of Ford

Went into the ford dealer yesterday, and got told my titanium (with executive pack) is getting pushed back to a February delivery. Bit annoyed, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Very nice. Be sure to post up pics when you pick yours up. I was set on getting a white sedan at first but then changed over to the hatch.

My better half said I was too old for a hatch ;)

Im still to see one with the Sports Exe. Pack ! anyone seen one on the road ?

Nichol · 22-12-2011, 12:35 PM

I wanted the sedan because it's different and would've looked great with the executive pack. But the hatch had that little edge and sportier look.
I've only seen 2 with the executive pack, but both were diesels. As far as I know, the diesels were the first ones available with the pack and the petrols are only starting to arrive.

Hey guy's, are the accessories on the ford website eg. mats and mudspats considered non genuine dealer fitted accessories, or should they be genuine?

harveyr · 22-12-2011, 01:50 PM

How do you add pictures to a post please?

Thanks.

scottc · 22-12-2011, 01:52 PM

click the post reply button, not the quick reply, then add attachment.

They are genuine accessories. But whether they are dealer fitted or not depends on you.

Mud spats are REALLY easy to install yourself and it helped me a learn a bit more about the car when I put them on. Just DIY mate. Save yourself the labour costs.

Unless you can get them/installation thrown in for free

DSC_1629 NoNumber small.jpgThanks Scott. This is my 1 week old diesel sport - Love it!!!

the new models are starting to grow on me! nice rides guys!

Nolz · 22-12-2011, 09:39 PM

Looking good! That colour really does come to its own in full sunlight. When I first saw one in the lot, it was an overcast day and it made it look very ordinary. Your photos do it a lot of justice!

Fast Eddie · 23-12-2011, 02:48 PM

Isn't it good to see so many happy new MKIII owners on AFF.

SpoolMan · 23-12-2011, 06:01 PM

I was told yesterday our Focus Sport is on the ship due to dock on the 31st Dec.

Don't expect it too soon after the 31st

Mine landed in Melbourne on the 15th & has only been made available to transport to Adelaide today! Dealer told me today they may get it late next week but more than likely the week after!
That's 3 WEEKS less 2 public holidays

Germany - Melb by ship 6 weeks

Melb - Adel by truck 3 weeks :( 

& Ford Aust wonders why Thailand got the job !
