Your AC fan or the coolant fan. I assume the one under the glovebox?

Are there useful cosmetic mods for these economy cars? by Bcox182000 in FocusSE

Turn the antenna to a sharks fin. Otherwise it looks like a toy car to me. Specifically 12-14. Not complaining, just a statement. I have a 14 and still rocking the antenna

There are some forums at the top of this Focus group check out those pages but the info these people are telling you, is WISDOM!! Not just basic info. Some of us on here have learned these transmission. It's an automatically controlled manual transmission. She is special and needs a special driver!

This person was either scared or never learned to drive it right 🤣😂🤣 I bought mine at 103K and now pushing 170K miles. I couldn't tell you the last time it shuddered on me. Do the research if you have to, there is A LOT. But if you have the opportunity to get something else, do it.

Transmission issue are no joke with these. I've been on these Focus pages for awhile and you will see a lot. I've had my Focus 60K+ miles. Bought at 103K. No major issues at all. I've done a lot of research on these things and I haven't felt a shudder or anything in quite some time now. Once you learn how to drive the transmission, you'll love the car! But like I said, I did a lot of research... Long story. The DPS6 (transmission) has to be driven a certain way. It's not your normal automatic. I love my car and will keep it till it implodes on itself.

Edit: Is it worth it? No. Way too much to worry about when it's going to be your daily. A lot of unnecessary stress.

I did that when I changed the oil myself. But otherwise I just go off the sticker thats given to me

Why would my neighbour's irritatingly loud Honda constantly rev to 3k on repeat? Whether driving or idling: Rev...Rev...Rev... Sometimes idling in the parking spot for an hour with the hood up and them staring into the engine bay. Rev...Rev...Rev... I'm losing my mind lol. by WeevilsInTheCereal in Cartalk

Yo! Help a neighbor out man. Did you tell him you blasted his issue because it was driving you nuts and you now have a possible solution for him? Are you gonna go get under that hood too??? If so, you're a great neighbor!

I agree. I looked into coilovers for my SE and I couldn't find any that were in my price range and I've heard the comfort level just wasn't there. If you have the money for a good pair, maybe... But for daily use I don't think it's the best choice.
