The fuck are they on about, this is the best looking Focus yet. Looks particularly nice in that white paint.

how can that guy comment with those sideburns and a doley for a scarf???

3:26 I love Tiff reaction, it's like he thinks he's in the wrong gear or something

I brought one a year ago, and its still flying around the place, great driving car

These guys talk some serious shite, the car looks great.

I own one and what can I say,in 3 years of owning the car it has needed a heater matrix that flooded the driver’s foot well, 2 front coil springs that broke in the same place both sides , 2 radiator pipes,a turbo water cooling pipe,2 oxygen sensors-1 on the turbo - 1 at the cat and a coil pack. I would give this car a two and that’s because I’m in good mood

I thought it was ok looking ? I wasn’t surprised it was faster then the 1.6

Every single one of them knew every spec about this car, that’s their job! It was all for the camera

The eco boost was very fun when I had one.

Just bought a 2015 Ford Focus se sedan intercooler turbo this car is so fun to drive

I LOVE my 2003 Focus 2.3 liter

'I happen to have an a4 piece of paper'

Well done Ford. Another great product to be very proud of. Long live Ford.

I think than it's very practical, good cabin and boots space, with a very economical fuel engine consume, perfect for cities

Well I listened to the reviews and thought Wow so bought a 2017 plate 1.0L Titanium during the Pandemic. This is what I found. The car was reasonably priced at £10,000, 32,000 miles visiting dealers and doing test drives was difficult, due to the restrictions. I needed a car as my previous MK2 focus had been written off. The test drive was good and the car picked up well, the privacy tinting sounded good as did the tyre pressure monitoring system. in fact all those little gizmos that come with a new car. However it does take time to get to know a car and change from a previous vehicle can be strange. Considering the Titanium is a higher spec car, mine came without the folding mirrors no Biggy but I would have thought theses would have been standard now. The sensor cluster behind the mirror is quite large and does obscure your vision in my opinion . I've been stopped at traffic lights and not seen them change to green. The tinting is good by day however at night it does limit vision when reversing. It does come with reverse parking sensors so that's good. But I've still managed to reverse into railings because the sensors didn't pick up the obstruction. But ill mark that up to my poor driving. I've looked at fitting a reversing camera, again difficult as the sync 3 system has to be programmed to accept it and there has to be some changes to the wiring loom. A Ford dealer can fit for you at just over £500, so not that cheap an option unless you want a separate screen. Whilst on the subject of cameras, fitting a dash cam also presents problems, due to the sensor cluster on the windscreen the positioning is more to the left than central. Other areas that are annoying are the keyless entry, it can't be turned off. The stop / start also cant be just turned off it has to be done every time you get in the car. Just because a car has a feature it doesn't mean you have to use it every time. The 1,0L engine is economical however it does sound grumpy in the lower gears my previous 1.6 Mk2 sound tinny so again something ti get used to. The Eco boost sounds more like a diesel. It is a nice car but needs more refinement to add accessories you shouldn't have to be reliant on a main dealer and their marked up prices. It is a nice car and lovey to drive but there are the annoying factors and my main bug bear was no spare wheel, jack or towing eye, which have now been purchased. I've had several Fords and found them reliable and kept them around 10 yrs each and wouldn't have changed my MK2 except for the accident not my fault by the way. Will I keep this car as long as the others probably not . To be honest if it wasn't for the pandemic and being restricted in movements, unable to do proper test drives and feeling pressured to have a car for work. I would probably taken much more time looking this is however down to me and I can't blame anyone else. One last note the sync 3 navigation system is slow and could be much better there's no reason Ford cant improve it as it connects to wifi. The voice commands are hit or miss. All in all its a nice car with impressive features on paper that in reality turn out to be just mediocre average. My advice if you have a Mk 2 look after it 😀👍.

I drove one, and it convinced me to compromise on features and color, but allowed me to get the 2.0 engine with the 5 speed. I get 40mpg with it. I doubt the 3cyl could do better, particularly since I live in hilly Pennsylvania, and commute to work in hilly North New Jersey. The 4 cylinder works hard enough on these hills...i feel that that poor little 3 would be working its nuts off and efficiency would suffer greatly.

Love Fords, best mainstream cars

Just bought one it’s a great car

A few issues need to be clarified here, for those not aware of bikes, 1 litre race bikes produce around 230 bhp, production with a warranty around 180 mark, though more important for heavy cars is the torque figure. The advantage of a boosted motor is that when it is off boost it drinks like it's capacity, but there is no such thing as a free lunch, so when it is on song it will drink the fuel to make the power. Therefore most drivers drive on a light throttle, so will reap the economy, bury the pedal and the economy will suffer in order to achieve the power.

When Vicky talks about look and styling...

This car looks and is fantastic. I had one for a year and I loved it!

It’ll go well and all ok when new, I wonder what they’d say now as there’s 1000s of these that has gone bang! A small engine with turbo engine massively overworked constantly! I’ll keep my normally aspirated 1.8

I have the 1.0 125 bhp and it's really great to drive. It has however a point between 110 - 120 km/h where it dies a bit but when it reached 120 km/h it really pulls again

please bring back fifth gear

I think the focus looks and drives great,i have one.

I heard these ecoboost catches on fire.

re upload?

Hi Lacey Film: I am aware that the 'real' mpg for small engine turboed cars are particularly disappointing. This is precisely because one has to really rev the engines to unleash the power into bands which are not ideal. This is mostly because they don't have low range torque. Interestingly it is high powered exotica which give real mpg closer to official values (even exceeding it occasionally). I drive a Golf GTI and a torquey diesel van. It is the van which wins in town any day. I love it.

repeat the drag race with a full car or in an incline terain, you will ba amazed

Great car

Planning to this car, but had some doubt about the 1.0 engine. After watching this video. I am die hard fan of focus now ❤

Only bad thing is that it has a Wet timing belt

Hi Christian Ronn: Actually I have driven quite a few small turbo'd cars but not the Focus. Most miles have been covered in the 90 PS 900 cc Dacia Sandero (my in-laws) which does need to be revved. The Ford engine is, I agree, supposed to be very good. It is not cheap! Likewise the 115 ps Golf 1 litre is a lot pricier than the normally aspirated 85 PS 1.2 but that is a non-starter! If your 1.4 turbo petrol is the 150 PS version, it is a real gem, appearing in the Q3

Why don't you tell them that the engine blows up and can burst into flames. Living up there name FORD =Fix Or Repair Daily

Are there not serious issues with this eco boost engine resulting in early engine failures?

How does this car not look good!? Plebs!!

Nothing to do with the fact that they tested a 1.6 105ps vs 1.0 125ps.....

They've blown it so hard it blows itself up 🤣

So will a 1.0 litre be quicker off the mark then a 1.6?

These little turbo engines are everywhere now. They are clearly impressive, competing with the economy of diesels. They do lack the torque of the diesels, which matters. Perhaps the best compromise is say a 1.2 to 1.4 litre with 150ps. You would have more torque and still be pretty economic.

it's my first own car and i love it

No way a 1.0 Focus beat a 1.6l its just down to the drivers, have owned a 1.6l petrol and recently decided to replace it with 1.0 Focus and my god...better MPG but you have to rag it everywhere to even move and on 30 and 40 roads its okay but motorways and dual carriageways its terrible, too small of a engine for such a big heavy car.

how can they say the focus there looking at is bland. its the zetec s model and has the top kit on.

Avoid 1.0 ecoboosts. They have a wet timingbelt, which costs a lot to replace. Also the timing belts often block oil circulation with bits of rubber and causing the engine to break. These are not reliable engines.

1:56 Im sorry, but that Just speaks to me.

Dose anyone no if it would be cheap to insure

you grudgingly liked it still there are alot better spec cars to actually test nice to buy economicly speaking but

i wanna ask..the 1.6 petrol that u made the challenge on this video..is the 1.6 duratecTi-VCT or the 1.6 ecoboost with the 150ps? i wanna know whats is worth after all....

Nice Ford ad

In fact, if I'm right, that's the true secret of Ford's 1.0 3-Cylinder EcoBoost engine.

They should've tested the 1.6 TDCI and put it agaist VW Golf 1.6 TDI

Illuminati stuff... EJ = Eddie Jordan, his age when this video was made 63. Add the 2 and the 1 on the license plate and you get 66. ACO is the organiser of the Le Mans 24 Hours. The ‘66 Le Mans 24 hours race was won by none other than Ford in it’s first win of the race. And thus the arrival of the new Ford GT effort at Le Mans was foretold in this car.

What trim is the white focus?

My ex missus had a 3cyl 1.0 Corsa and it sounded and performed like a four with a spark plug out, not even with a turbo bolted on would tempt me into a 3 banger especially in a mid-sized car. 💩

Ford recall in the USA on Eco boost Engines, wet timing belt breaking down and blocking oil filter leading to engine failure. No recall in the UK

Wait that's a 2010 model, date says 2017 and uploaded about a month ago. They always review so fresh cars?

It's a great car up to 120,000 miles. Then it just gives up. And the timing belt if you ever get that far needs to be changed before 150,000 miles and cost at least in my country try 1,300 to replace. Bottom line, buy a diesel. They just haven't got this right and need to abandon this engine

Road tax cost? Running cost? Insurance cost?

Any chance of mentioning all the overheating and cylinder head cracking issues.

But a smaller 3 pot engine will not be able to sustain constant high speeds, and will be junk after 60-70k miles. Also more to go wrong with a turbo charger fitted, compared to a normally aspirated engine. Time will tell I guess, but for me, bigger is better, without having to rely on something or someone blowing wind up your arse.

Finding a car without a turbo is rare these days. Also this engine is very uneconomical in the real world

My mom boyfriend have this car why he had some much trouble with this car

Give me an old 1.6 Vtec for me

After 70,000 miles the cooling system and head gadget is fucked

Looks way better than everything Volkswagen makes ......if you ask me

I've never learned to drive. Thank god

What a load of crap? I worked as a trade plater for Evans Halshaw for a year and drove many of these and the fiestas, and they are slower than a 1.6 and above 50mph or so the fuel economy is crap. Around town they will go forever on fumes, but any serious driving and they're pants. Hell even my 2007 Mk2 1.6 focus is quicker than the 1.0 turbo fiesta

That was not a test though was it you just raced a 1.6 that’s it so how can you call it a test

That little engine isn't proving to be the little diamond it was supposed to be now is it with so many eating themselves , i bet the 1.6 is still fine though 😂

ecoboost engines, overheating and detonating all around the world, oh well , that's progress .

Hi

0 to 60?!? What about reliability...mpg?!?...what about when the car is full?

These lot going on about style? Dafuq? I mean those sideburns tho...

Great until they blow up (1.0 litre Ecoboost) oh they are doing!

Wow, was that a review????

Now put a the same turbo on the 1,6 and see who's faster...

Restart the show in the USA. We'll watch over here, it'll be one of the best car shows on TV again because they all SUCK NOW (except Wheeler Dealers, they are still great)

Oh really my mk1 1.4 is more fule efficient than a 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 its own age.

For me new degas hose, water ingress in boot, new coolant bottle and cap, new engine mount, oil leak top of engine new rocker cover and gasket and now coolant leak from engine casing. It’s traded in now. Absolute joke of a car

Wish top gear

Can you please tell me the power output from both engines?

That thing never gonna get passt 100 000 miles

I'll take a 2 liter zetec any day.

I wouldn't touch that 1.0l ecoboost I would get a 1.6 tdci

Utter bullshit on the mpg, mine does 40 mpg, there's always a trade-off with a turbocharger

3 pot engines are crap,always will be no matter of horsepower,direct injection and turbo.You could always make 4 pot di turbo petrol to be better.Only production costs of engine and profit for the car manufacturer are in favour of 3 pot engine.

My dad's car

they really get in wrong. The outside looks good and the inside is horrible... Not the other way around they saying :D

These new small capacity engines are only good for the car makers and people who buy/own cars under 5 years or 80,000 miles.That poor little engine is working on maximum to give 100-140 hp! How many 10 or even 15 plus yr old cars on the road now? LOADS!!! How many in 10 years time?? SOD ALL!!

Ecotoilet!

Anybody else laughed when he said 1 liter eco boost.... Just me... Ok

Hi buddy! ! scare Anybody identify bigger than this work ...2.

I have one. Looks nice but at 40k miles the engine blew! As have hundreds of thousand of other ford eco boost engines. Stay well away

sorry we all havent got millions to buy supercars

Tiff never ages does he

i never understood why all UK journalist love Ford ..

I've had my 62 plate 1ltr ecoboost for 4 years now, Water ingress in the trye wheel well & burst heater pipe in drivers footwell. the stop start doesn't work now. terrible car, will never buy ford again

Wet belt? No thanks
