Thanks for that. I went and signed up. I'll definitely be modifying the seats so that's a great help.

I wouldn't say FINE ... but they will work. The seats narrow in the back but if I scooch forward a bit they're better. I might have to use a lower back pillow. Thankfully the seats go back plenty far and the steering wheel telescopes. The passenger seat feels even narrower. I had one cheek...

Went down to Santa Maria Chevy yesterday. They had an LT model on hand so we had a test drive. I told them I wanted the Premier @ 1k down, $360 a month ... they said they could do 1k down and $470 a month. I said thanks for your time! Long story short and several hours of "thanks" - "no...

There's a Chevy dealer about a mile away. I'll head over and give it the big ass test.

Yes, Net price is total after dealer incentives. 31,500 total msrp - 10,500 incentives = 21,000 Net I don't know if all the local rebates are included in that. There's 2500 from California and 500 from PG&E. Still, I'm looking at 324 mo w/ 969 due at signing. That's according to the...

Ford website is quoting $320 mo with 0 down @ 15k miles. That likely also doesn't include the California $2500 rebate. But that's according to the website calculator. I went to Chevy's site and ran a build on the 2017 Bolt Premuim... it says $360 a month plus $4,538 due at signing! That's...

Looks like the 2018 models are available. AND the price has been dropped by about 2k. MSRP on a 2018 FFE w leather is $29k. Here's the Hot Pepper Red for Smokey...

That's awesome you got a great deal on a Bolt. It's super hard for me to discount the WANT factor of a Tesla (they probably know that too). It's weird that the monthly payment and the down payment are so different between two vehicles similarly priced. I too want to lease something just to...

The future is around the corner. There are technologies coming that will put the current batteries and vehicles to shame. https://futurism.com/a-new-electric-car-battery-lasts-for-200-miles-and-charges-in-just-6-minutes/ "Japanese tech company Toshiba has just announced their next-generation...

The FFEs I looked at w/ leather seats MSRP is $31k. The Bolt Premium (the model OP got) lists MSRP at $44k. The Model 3 (sorry to offend, M3 was just my shorthand) starts at $35k but easily jumps to the $44k range with a couple premium options. The OP is a day 1 reservation holder and he's...

The Bolt costs $13k more than the FFE. That's a steep jump. For that money I'd much rather have a Model 3. I am tossing around the idea of getting a M3 or something other than the Focus. The likelihood that I'll miss out on the rebates, plus the lack of lease packages, pushes my monthly bill...

There are always small changes. Even when they just went from Sync2 to Sync3, that's a small change. Example: the 2014 FJ Cruiser got an extra track bar support beam. Everything else is identical to a 2013 model but they added 1 bar underneath. There's always something that gets changed.

It's true, the FFE is basically just a compliance car and they're giving it the bare minimum in terms of attention and resources. But the Ford Focus (ICE) is a best-seller and getting plenty of attention. The spy shots are seeing the ICE version which we know will trickle down into all the...

It's widely acknowledged they're working on a new Focus, but their priority level may not be at peek level if it's not going to be released until 2019. Maybe the number of test mules on the road is limited because they're not changing much? I'm just guessing. Keep a camera handy in case you...

I know they're late with their Canadian orders, but there are dozens of FFE sitting on lots across California. No one in the US should be waiting with all these cars available near LA. I still have my fingers crossed '18 will get a few improvements. I'm not going to hold my breath, but until...

LOL You're a real ray of sunshine :( You're probably right :( :( :( about it all. I'm still going down and ordering my 2018 FFE this weekend. Unless they offer some fantastic discount (>4k) to take a '17 off their hands I'll just wait for the order. I'll lease it for 2 or 3 years and save up...

They'll start building the 2018 Focus on September 9th, 2017. I'd go down and cancel the order, and switch to 2018 model. You've waited 6 months why not wait one more for the newer version? There are conflicting reports about some major changes for the '18 Focus. If nothing else, let it sit...

My wife has AAA. On her old Mazda Tribute she had it towed several times a year. She got it towed to her home usually but a few times it went straight to the mechanic shop. She had chronic battery issues even after replacing almost everything electric in the stupid thing. They even came out...

Like I said, there are reports of a redesign for the 2018 model. http://fordnewmodels.com/new-ford-focus-2018-price/ http://frogcars.com/2018-ford-focus-redesign-photos/ I've got my fingers crossed. There has even been promises of increased battery efficiency / range...

What is the build date of your FFE? Did you order it or was it on the lot? When did you take ownership?
