SA (2018) Ford Focus

[Ibaker]

The wife picked up the new Focus Titanium the other day and Ford has again misrepresented what you get in the car.

When I purchased my MD Mondeo Titanium Wagon there were features listed in the brochure that were not on the car when delivered. So far without going through the whole Ford Australia brochure yet I have already found the headlight washers listed as standard on the Titanium are not included.

It is the usual misrepresentation and false advertising that Ford does which has burnt me twice so far...it is down right illegal and reminds me of the joke..."Oh, you want wheels as well, sorry they don't come with this model"

Time for ACCC me thinks

Headlight washers are only legally required for Bi-Xenon headlamps due to bugs / dirt getting on the headlights and splitting the beam. LED headlamps don't suffer from this issue (not sure why the Mondeo has them though as they're LED headlamps). I personally hate the headlamp washers on my Escape, makes the rest of the car dirty in the process.

It's silly they're listed on the brochure but none of the photos have the washer present, so obviously just a printing mistake.
