Good stuff - just like the brochure with the 17in. wheels - in my opinion better than the slightly fussy standard Ghia alloys.
Externally very similar to my LX, but inside is where the difference lies with that much lighter leather trim. If anyone has the accessory brochure for the LS, there's a two-page colour picture of an identical pure silver Ghia with the optional alloys, but I swear the ride height is lower! |

Nice nice... I'm going to put up pictures of my LX next week.
What kind of problems did you have with it? I'm curious to know if you don't mind sharing.

Very nice indeed. Would have bought one but my partner wanted the hatch which didn't come in the Ghia. Bought the Zetec instead but nice still the same. The sedans do appear to sit very high compared to the Zetec. Must be that 'sports' suspension..lol

Well done mate. Looks good!
I have owned my Zetec for the last 2 weeks & love it. Touch wood no problems to report as yet. Lets hope never! Just curious, what sort of problems have you had? I hope they have been fixed by your dealer! |

Thanks guys! So far I've identified two things, the windscreen is slightly scratched and the front passenger air vent doesn't seem to let any air in. I've let the dealership know and these things are going to be fixed at the 3000km service.

If you check out http://www.eurofordclub.com/gallery/newfocusghia, I had a Ghia sedan to run in for the weekend at launch last year, what a DREAM of a thing to drive, just a beautiful car even on the stock 16's. Congrats on the purchase, the leather is gorgeous and the dual zone climate is brilliant, I'd love to own a Ghia!!

Still enjoying my Silver Ghia sedan after 15,000ks. It keeps getting better with age. The 17" Zetec alloys are definitely the way to go - as long as you don't mind the extra road noise... Overall, I love the car, but it would be perrrrfect with curtain airbags, another cog in the autobox, decent speakers, and rear interior door trim that doesn't look like it's straight out of a 1983 Mitsubishi Colt GL. But now I'm just being picky.
