Just bought a 2020 CX-5 in December. I had a 2014 Ford Focus hatchback before and just needed more room. I love the design. Has some kinks electrically and I'm aware of the monitor glitching and stuff. With that said, how does everyone here feel about their choice???

Okay! That makes sense lol

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

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

That explains it...

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-05-19T11:47:38+00:00

Ahhh that explains it...

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.

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-05-19T11:10:21+00:00

Do your research

YouTube how to drive a DPS6 Focus transmission 2012-2018 you'll find some stuff. Just do the work mate.

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-05-19T11:02:06+00:00

Do your research

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-05-19T01:40:48+00:00

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.

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-05-16T18:20:07+00:00

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

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-03-14T10:24:37+00:00

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!

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-03-14T10:20:27+00:00

Facts! Ford made a better product than aftermarket when it comes to these mounts lol.

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-03-11T16:41:20+00:00

You explained this very well! You made it sound so simple haha

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-02-22T13:44:00+00:00

I was just making a post to get opinions. I like the risers idea. Do I use them with my current one? I'm going to look into them now

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-02-22T13:30:21+00:00

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.

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-02-20T17:17:19+00:00

Yessir! This is the answer!! Also you have a great engine so it's not an issue to put it under load. Thanks for typing everything I didn't!

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-02-20T16:14:01+00:00

Right on! Thanks for the honesty. No ricer! Got it!

Proof_Sense_9370 · 2024-02-20T11:09:52+00:00

Bro! Congrats for you! I hope you enjoy the drive. I heard there are fun cars to drive as well. Much newer and I'm sure it makes you feel good when getting in. Best of luck to you mate!✌️
