Great review! Thanks! Its hard to find many reviews on the 3 cylinder cars in the USA. Keep the reviews coming!

I really liked this review. I understood everything and it was explained in a clear, concise manner; well done.

I got the 2017 Ford Focus se with the 2.0 dct transmission. I love it and trying to take good care of it

I own a manual 1.0 ecoboost 4 door sedan here in South Africa bought mine during a special only paid R190 000 which is about $12,600 US fantastic value for a brand new 2016 vehicle of this size and spec. 1.0 ecoboost is brilliant im averaging 33mpg and i drive like a bit of a chop haha best consumption so far on a long highway trip is 47mpg.

I have a 2018 1.0 ecoboost and it's a cool car and it's unic i haven't seen no one else with one in my city

would you gain hp putting a vortec 8100 intake on the ecoboost?

Local dealer has three 2018 models with this engine their trying to get rid of. Probably could get them down really low, but I don't know if its worth it.

Is this car good or has the same transmission problems of the 2.0?

I have one no regrets on buying one

Traded my 2015 Focus SE (almost 1 year of ownership) for a 2016 Titanium, CONSTANT pull to the left nobody has been able to resolve (even bought new wheels and tires). intermittent hesitation when accelerating. Leather is nice but would not buy or recommend a Focus... Seems like this on was built on a Monday...

I get 40mpg on the highway in my 2.0l focus without breaking a sweat, and that's with the damn 5 speed manual that has a pretty low 5th gear. if Ford would just stop holding the 2.0 back and give it a 6 speed I wonder what the fuel economy difference would be in these two cars

And the good news is that the 1.0 Ecoboost comes with a traditional torque converter 6-speed automatic

Are you guys headquartered in Mississauga?

Its very strange considering the normal 2.0 makes 39mpg factory (I've done better and worse in mine) and the same in the city but with a lot more power, maybe just because they sell it in europe its easy to offer it here to up there overall fleet mpg, even if nobody buys it

I own a 2016 Ford Focus 1.0L ecoboost I will say that it's not fast, but if you're buying this car you're not buying it to go fast. you're buying it to get really good gas mileage. I currently get 40-50 mpg on the highway(in florida), 30-40 highway(in PA), 25-35 mpg city (Florida), 20-30 mpg city(PA since my commute is up a hill). I can do 0-60 in about 8 seconds (A/C off). it's very nice only spending $20 a month on gas. If it's a warm day I can do about 40 mph around any turn (including U-turns) the tires are super gripy. It's faster off the line than a Camaro.

I wanted one of these, but I get the same fuel economy numbers with my 2.0. I can get 40-42mpg on the highway and I average 28 in the city.

i just got this for my first car!

It says 4-cylinder here 1:01 but it's actually a 3-cylinder

My 2015 Ford Focus with a 2.0lt non turbo got consistently 40 plus miles per gallon mostly highway driving. 5 speed standard. The 2016 I am looking at buying has a 1.0 lt and had the motor replaced just over 90,000km. It now has 135,000km on the whole car.

what year will Ford finally release its hy-boost engines ? , that should be a real game changer

I love that America is finally starting to make good cars

1:00 ITS A 3 CYLINDER ENGINE NOT 4

I was thinking about buying a Focus 1.0L but you can't get Sync3 or nav on the 1.0 or rear disc brakes on the hatchback. They only come in SE with cloth too. Ford's really limited the options on 1.0 ecoboosts.

Got a 2016 focus 2 liter and have had as much as 52 MPG . That was the best MPG so far driving very easy . Its seems to be a good driving car . Mostly get 34- 42 MpG highway driving. Depends on how cold it is outside or going up hills etc.

How did you get Ford to build a 4 cyl 1 liter engine just for you. The rest of us have to get the 3 cyl.

Have they fix the transmission issues yet?

He doesn't mention the overboost that brings the torque up to 148ft/lbs for 15 seconds.

why wouldn't they put the 1.5 ecoboost in here?

I think its the most fun engine to get in a ford

Don’t know if the guy looks like Mr. Tumnus, Shia LaBeouf or King Leonidas from 300.

The regular 2 liter in the standard Focus and the turbo 2 liter found in the ST look great, but I don't really see the point of this motorcycle sized engine in a 3000 pound car. The fuel economy isn't much better than the 2 liter. Not enough so to put up with zero offensive driving capability. It feels like the development of the 1 liter was a step backwards really. You're not saving gas if you have to beat the hell out of the engine to make a pass. To get acceptable acceleration from a stop as you would in the 2 liter, the 1 liter likely has a tiny turbo suited for low rpm in order to muster the torque required to move. That can work, but what about when you're already at speed on the highway and want to make a pass? The tiny turbo won't cut it then. Paying extra for a marginal leap in efficiency with a steep drop in performance and practicality.

mine is sport edition. 3.2l

Where is this filmed, which city?

Good review. His speaking has improved since I last watched a video of his over a year ago. I don't know if some people here are calling him names like 'lispy mcgee' to be funny, but it's an awfully rude thing to say. I mostly feel pity for those people, that they feel the need to make fun of somebody's speech impediment. It's not like he is doing it on purpose. If you don't like this guy, just move onto another video. There's no need to be a dick, but I guess that's just how youtube is sometimes.

The little 3 cylinder, Europe gets a 1.5 liter Turbocharged inline 3 but not here since Ford ended production of all cars except the Mustang in the US.

Drop this engine in the Fiesta. It seems better suited for that car and would be even lighter for better mpg.

While I like this 1.0 L EcoBoost in the Fiesta SFE because its still gives decent performance while delivering 36 mpg combined, this same engine seems to be a bit underwhelming in the Focus. With around 300 lb extra to move, I can't see why anyone would choose the 1.0 L turbocharged Focus over the Fiesta unless the additional size were needed. The fuel economy in the Focus 1.0L is a bit worse as well, at 35 mpg combined. The 1.0L EcoBoost option adds $795 to the price of a Focus. The standard Focus with the 2.0L is rated at 31 mpg combined, while the 1.0L turbo is 35 mpg combined. A back-of-the-napkin calculation shows that it would take about 90,000 miles to recover your upgrade cost, assuming the cost of gasoline at $3/gal. This could be attractive to those who plan to keep their car for a while. Or you could just go with the Mazda 3, which is rated at 34 mpg combined, and you may actually enjoy yourself while driving.

Sami, I wonder if you're of Lebanese origin as your name and looks suggest. Great review.

Get the 2.0 Liter 4. You'll be glad you did.

4 cylinder isn't it 3🤔

ITS A THREE CYLINDER! NOT FOUR

I disagree with saying its underpowered, its not underpowered. It will easily accelerate up a moderate hill and remains responsive. Its obviously not the most powerful acceleration in the world but underpowered is not a fair comment in my opinion. I once drove a citoren that with just the driver you had to have the pedal on the floor on a medium incline just to maintain 60mph and with just one passenger, more often than not you needed to change down a gear just to not lose speed, that to me is underpowered and this car is not like that at all.

Fordy Miles per gallon! (..ill see myself out)

This is a leaser, no chance it won't give the majority of owners major problems.

Has a different transmission then the four cylinder has, it's actually better.

It's a great engine however this is car is just too heavy (almost 3000 lbs and it IS heavier than the 2liter) . so it won't work very well. alternatively look at Mitsubishi's Mirage hatch. Less powerful engine but significantly lighter, and less air drag. That car drives great

Lol i would love to see the size of the pistons on this. 😆😆😆

For your own good do some research on the transmission before you buy.

This sounds painfully slow. Anybody know the 0-60?

Why would put strain a 3 cylinder engine with a turbo.. Just use a naturally aspirated 1.8 or 2.0 to get 40+ mpg

Mine survived a pine tree so, good car. PS it was a Ecoboost

In retrospect the mileage sucked! The Elantra I rented was better and had 2x the enginr

can someone without being rude tell me why are manuals more fuel efficient

With a name like that, you know he gets randomly selected for additional screening every time before he steps on the aeroplane.

Less power,lower fuel economy than the 2.0. Why buy it?

E to the C to the O...

I owned a ford. Nice car to drive but sadly reliability issues especially the gearbox.....huhuhu

40mpg nowadays is crap..my focus gets 50s and i think thats not great

or get a mazda 3

This or Honda Civic?

re-watching this... makes me go... " yeah but it's got a NORMAL automatic, not that stupid dual clutch"

civic has more power, and more mpg, better interior, better resale value, better body styling, better.......... need i go on?

I would buy a Mazda 3 instead.

Not worth it. A much larger and more powerful VW Passat will do 25/38 mpg. Almost as much. Plus in reality I bet you never achieve the 28/40 number in the Focus as that tiny engine will alway have to be revved up to get it going or to pass.

The biggest forte of Fords 1.0 engine is not just mpg, its COx emissions, it makes just under 110 g/km of COx which means an energy impact of just 4 barrels of oil annually or its the greenest petrol compact sedan Since USA is blind on green credentials Ford cannot advertise it as much as they wud like Same is the case with the 3.5 and 2.7, 2.0,2.3 and 1.5 EBs all have more than 1 purpose mpg+ emissions, sadly 90+% of US people give shit about air, but Ford as a brand is committed to a green line up Well done Ford

I will give this video a pity "thumbs up" and move on.

lithsp

My old 1.8 140hp civic which got to 60 in 8.5 secs averaged 40/47 mpg through the time I had it, this engine is pathetic why bother.

do Americans struggle with manual cars like they do with roundabouts XD

Hmm.. Meanwhile the 2016 Civic has a 174 horsepower turbo engine and manages 42 MPG on the highway.

So ugly. The car is okay. Toodles

we need V6 Petrol on Focus.

this fucking shit box

ONE WORD, SLOW. review done :)

what a load of rubbish DE gas hose splits causing coolant leakage causing engine damage,front timing cover water pump o ring leaks, again coolant loss engine damage, gear box aluminum mounting built weak causing drive shaft damage,mechanical fuel pump rattles and noisey do you want to buy a new engine out of warranty

Found On Road Dead.

After I saw 123hp, I stopped watching. Pure rubbish

This review was great once I put it on mute....... Please get rid of this guy!
