Default Re: 2019 Ford Focus

So I had reason to drop by my nearest Ford Dealer today and wandered into the Showroom and had my first look at the Mk IV. ST-Line Automatic was there. I liked how the 60/40 Split Fold has the 60 on the left hand side (like the Mk I) and the Rotary Dial for the transmission could well be a nifty feature but was told that to start the car one must have their foot on the brake before starting it. Hmmmnn, not a fan of that feature but could live with it. Likewise I have a preference for the Left Hand Side Indicator Stalk but could live with it being on the opposite side. The car looks pretty well built but I thought the material used on the Steering Wheel is better on my Mk I compared to this Mk IV. Would I buy one, most likely. For the price, it's loaded with features that I like. Hell, even E.S.P. wasn't an option on my LX Spec back in the early 00's.
