Hi All,
I'm looking at trading my MD Mondeo in for something smaller (Don't need the large car as the second car any longer! Everest is the family transport) and looking at a LZ Focus. Can anyone give me some pointers as to what to look out for? Major problems etc. I know some of the dry clutch powershifts were a problem <LW, but LZ has a torque converter so shouldn't be as big of an issue. Thanks, Martin P.s. Mondeo best car I have ever owned - shame its only done 42k! |

I'd skip LZ and look for an SA; much better car.
In any case, the LZ has proven reliable. Only rare issue is water coolant leaking and in one case, I heard, the entire engine had to be replaced. |

In a flash i would. Wife doesn't want the rotary dial.
She won't drive the mondeo, says its too big. But she drives the Everest.... I want the everest, so i gotta get what she wants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LZ sounds like a decent option. |

I have a 2016 LZ Focus Titanium. It's a fantastic car and has been totally reliable - no issues whatsoever. I'll be getting a new car soon (possibly a Focus ST) and will be sad to see the LZ Focus go as it's such a great car to drive and is so well appointed.

I'm toying with the idea of a Puma as well, but haven't looked at them yet. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk |

I put 129000 on my 2015 LZ before I traded it.
Needed regular wheel alignments, and was probably overdue for new shocks when I traded it. Had no issues with it brakes were still good usually did them at 150000 had a few different model Focus. |

I have been on my LZ over 3 years and have done over 25K.I would highly recommend you go for it. I too do not like the dial on SA and hence why I went over to LZ
