Default Focus question

Hi Guys

Do any of the Focus models come with crusie control? If not does anyone know if it may be available soon eg model update - as a cruise is a must have for me.

Pretty sure it comes with a extra pack not sure of the name. Smooth pack or something like that but yes its an extra i believe.

I may be wrong though.

Base model you need to buy the smooth pack. Otherwise it's standard on all other models except the XR5.

Almost.. there are 5 levels (ex-XR5) but the base is CL then LX, Zetec, Ghia and TDCi. Which technically judging by the price's would put the diesel in between the Zetec and the Ghia... Someone might correct me on that though!

LT is just the model shape of the Focus for the year of production i.e. the current production Focus are LT's (except the XR5 which is an LV) and the previous production models were LS and LR's before that.

Thanks for that guys a couple more Focus questions while im at it. Does the Focus have ESP if so is it all models? Its a bumer that the XR5 doent have cruise but good the other models have it except base but can be optioned. Also does the LX have 16 inch alloys and the Zetec 17's?
With the Focus CL optioned with smooth pack is that then the same standard as the LX? As as per discountnewcars if its than the same car as the LX its seem like it may represent better value with discounting (or has the LX still got the CL with smooth pack covered).
Ps There is so much online re the Falcon when you search re Focus info is a lot thinner on the ground lol.

On the LT build Focus cruise control is standard on the TDCI, LX, Zetec & Ghia versions . On the base model its an option as part of the "smooth pack" which also includes15 inch alloy wheels and electric wing mirrors.
The LX has 16 inch alloys & the Zetec has 17 inch alloys as standard.

Nah, they're already upset about having to drive an i30, the cruise control didn't even register past the blanket of pain they already live in.

Gday rx2, look under the passenger side dash, you'll find 2 plastic "screws" that you undo with your thumb and finger. Pull the fuse panel towards you and it should drop down into the passenger footwell.
