Ford's heated windshield is incredible. I owned a Fiesta ST 2013 between 2016-2020 and the first week of owning it the thin wire lattice was playing tricks with my eyes. After the first week I fully got used to it, and looking back it was a godsend up here in north Finland. Also my wife drove it a lot and never complained. Which is a treat, since she does complain about things. Holy crap does she complain. Holy shit, boy.

[@christeez7534]

You just killed me.

[@khelgarironfist3301]

It sounded an annoying thing to have for me too. But if your wife didn't complain, then it would definitely be a no issue for me.

Have driven with the heated windscreen for many years and really appreciate the convenience in winter conditions. Yes you can see the elements if you look for them but in driving you are focused on the outside environment and therefore cannot see the elements. I would be very sad to see the heated screen discontinued, it is a good safety provision in my opinion

[@anomuumit]

19:24 User experiences I came across said that the Ford heated windscreen with those filament resistors is (patented and) actually better at melting ice than those foil type heaters in cold climates with temperatures in winter hitting -20 °C. Some claimed that those foil type heating elements were close to useless in comparison. This is of course hearsay without actual first hand experience but something worth to consider and maybe to test out!

[@Pand0rasAct0r_]

No the heated windshield is something you will get used to really easily if you own one. And it's also incredibly handy in the winter. So if you can get a ford with it. I absolutely recommend it.

[@e7234]

Thomas I have a Ford focus active 2021 since 7 months. It has the winter pack with the heated windscreen. I always see the lines but they don't bother me once I start to drive. You focus on other stuff and really forget about them. They are only annoying when you are stopped and concentrated on them. Also the ST Line is too harsh. I have tried it and chose the Active which was more comfortable on uneven roads (the reality in Mallorca where I live). As for the mild hybrid it is just a guimmick. In Spain they give you some TAX money discount and in Madrid and Barcelona the possibility to access the center. The only thing about this mild hybrid system i like is the regenerative breaking. In sport mode it is even harder. IT just help a lot not breaking if the car in front is breaking really lightly. As for perfomance. The 155 feel more like 130 hp. You can feel the lack of torque. 190 nm is not enough comparing it to vw golf 250nm, astra 230nm and the 1.5 ecoboost 3 cylinder 240nm. 80-120 takes more than 6.2 seconds as said in the brochure. But the sound is just amazing! for a civil car having the turbo spool and this roaring are not common. Also they put a smile on my face when flooring it. You should come visit Mallorca Again but not drive the car near Palma. Take what ever car it is to Pollensa and enjoy the roads over there.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for the feedback!! Love Mallorca!!

[@bernddasbrot2453]

Headlamps and front design remind me very much of the Seat Leon IV.

This is better looking, but I still prefer VW Golf! Good job Thomas 👍

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers pal!

[@cy9nvs]

I don't get why you'd put the focus behind the Golf in terms of interior build quality. They literally ripped off the cheap plastic shift knob in the manual GTI during their Test-Drive at Grip on german television. The Golf is much worse in terms of quality. The Focus shifter is actualy made of metal and leatherette and is held on by a M10 bolt, not a couple of plastic clips like in the Golf.

[@autogefuehl]

Mainly due to seating comfort

The computer did ask the value of the temperature you did want to have. You say a lot, but did not give a simple answer, you should have answered "twenty one" and leave the rest.... Furthermore the middle armrest is very stable when it is shut!!! Also it can be adjusted in length. By the way I do have the 2020 1.5 182 hp ST Line with 18"rims, my first German car (since it is made in Saarlouis, ex France ;-), I am a Fracofiel) and I love it very much, now after nearly 2,5 years of ownership I didn't have any problems with is, it still feels as new and it is the first car which will is not traded in within two years.

[@Mogsy28uk]

Nice Thomas blue car to review, Chrome Blue good too. Shame the factory can't build any trim other than base until they get stock of the SYNC 4 screens. Had door protectors on a lot of Focus's over last 10+yrs, very handy. Be good to see a review of Active Focus estate (blue stitching) with 155ps auto later.

[@Joshua-uq9zw]

That center console and screen looks so cheap now. And again, all physical buttons removed... what a stupid decision. That new screen looks so aftermarket and makes the center console look so cheap. Sorry ford, this interior was a step backwards in so many ways. Nice exterior, fun car, but that interior is a dealbreaker to me unfortunately

[@livolas]

The screen does look aftermarket, but for me it's the only thing on the interior that does not look cheap. The interior gives out such a 90's entry level car vibe.

Part bellow climate have cheaper feeling than my mk3.5,my subjective feeling is that interior is better in mk 3.5.

I see the wires in the mk4 focus and I saw them in the mk2 as well, but oddly I don't notice them in the fiesta mk7. I guess it's the matter of how far the windscreen is in the fiesta

[@id8331]

It's funny and totally unusual but I definitely prefer the pre-facelift version. On the outside in the front it has much more uniquie design features and more character. The bonnet accents were amazing. On the inside there is just so much more functionality with direct button controls. I assume, one can get used to on-screen climate controls, but the bad thing is that some nice details and chrome accents (also B&O badges on the door speakers if sound has been upgraded) are gone. The area where the climate controls used to be could use some pimping up to make it look less dull and "underused" (the start button on the pre-facelift is a huge step above in quality and visual appeal). Happy to see though that Ford still allows us the luxury and fun of using those two "fully grown" hatch handles on the inside. I love the excess in that.

[@skagerstrom]

I don't understand the thing with USB C in cars. The C connector sits worse than the old style one, and it doesn't matter what's in that end anyway. I think more people have USB A > whatever they have than C > whatever they have anyways. In the same way EUs USB C law is just weird. 95% of all chargers still have USB A (no matter if it's a Oneplus or Apple). It's like they don't understand that you can remove the cable from the charger..

[@michalsvihla1403]

That's because the law hasn't officially sprung into action yet. I quote: "Parliament and EU countries reached a provisional agreement on the legislation on 7 June 2022. Parliament formally approved the agreement on 4 October 2022. After it has been formally approved by the council, EU countries will have two years to introduce the rules into national laws. It will not apply to products placed on the market before it comes into force." So basically it's still possible to introduce products with different charging ports until the end of 2024 and if you introduced it before that time, you can keep selling that product. The law is meant to give manufacturers time to introduce USB-C. You'll see its effects in the long term. The smarter manufacturers introduced USB-C earlier because they anticipate that in the future (many years from now), other charging ports will be obsolete. It's simple future-proofing and considering that the classic car manufacturers like Ford have long-term contracts with car part suppliers, it makes sense for them to switch to buying USB-C in bulk instead of making new contracts with suppliers of dying standards.

I also hate the wires in the windshield. Especially in sunset, when the light makes those wires reflect all the light and I barely see anything else. Causes too much glare. (compared to the Golf VII, where there were no wires in the windshield, but the warm air could just melt the ice or defog the window just as quickly as these wired solutions)

[@autogefuehl]

And as I said there are these foils available which heat the windscreen

[@Groaznic]

Negatory, the air blast does not and can not melt the ice as quick as the wires. In a long winter I prefer the wired windshield hands down.

[@macvos]

@@Groaznic agreed. I had the wires in my previous Volvo V40, and melting thick ice took maybe 20 seconds. Using warm air in my current VW Golf 7.5, it takes a couple of minutes. I can get a cup of coffee before the windshield is defrosted...
