Default Icy Cold weather

I don't know how everyone is going in other states, but the Focus is running BEAUTIFULLY in this incredibly cold crisp air in Melbourne at the moment.

Just so much fun to drive.

Wish it ran like that all year.

I can concur, had my foci running up the Blue Mountains the other night in 3C air and it was just sooo smooth on the throttle. Ran like a dream, about a billion times better than in 40C summer heat....

Mine's the same almost, but on anything below 1,000rpm she's lumpy as and a little unhappy, but DAMN does the K&N filter scream above 3,000rpm below 5C!!!!!!!!! Minor electrical gremlins aside, on the good days it's hold on tight and watch the knuckles turn white!!
