How it holding up I heard the 1.0 3 cyl ecoboost is garbage but that the tranny is better than the other one they were using?

Can you tell me how it works

Does it Has eco mode

How’s it holding up any issues ?

How’s it holding up any issues?

The 1.0 ecoboost with an automatic actually has a different transmission... A reliable one, which is why this engine should be considered for automatic buyers

Have you had any issues with the car?

How’s it running I heard that transmission has issues? Overall, have you had any issues with the car?

What have you done to mod it?

+shingoki528 It's also the fact that Americans don't buy hatches so its an economy of scale thing. In Europe you can't buy any version of many cars that isn't a hatch.

+shingoki528 That is interesting. I had no idea. Welcome to the comment area thoughtfully provided by KZfaq.

It has more to do with the buying culture. Europe pref list has always been; Hatchback Station Wagon Coupe Sedan

Focus

+Keven Harvey Are you asking for a diesel engine? You are not wrong-small displacement doesn't automatically translate into improved economy. Most of the improvement may be coming from weight reductions. If so, it should be city driving that benefits more than highway. I wonder how the weight of this compares to the 4-cylinder model.

The 1.0L has a timing belt but it's in an oil bath.

Interesting. Just looked into it further. Service guide says at "Every 150000 miles (240000 km) " "Replace timing belt (1.0L, 1.6L engine). Replace oil pump drive belt (1.0L engine).". For me, I'm still not comfortable and would stay with the 2.0L, 4cyl myself. Sounds very expensive to change if it's going to need it at or near the interval.

The 1.0L EcoBoost doesn't have great real-world fuel economy. It's great for European countries that tax cars based on CO2 emissions but in North America, what's really the point when the 2.0L is close to the real-world efficiency of the 1.0L EB. The 2.0L is a good engine anyway. More maintenance and similar fuel economy with the 1.0L EB.

runforit420 we need the 1.5 turbo in North America!

I think North America is the last market that has the 2.0L GDI engine and PowerShift, except for (maybe) Asia-Pacific (Malaysia and the Philippines) . Even Ford Australia, because customers complained A LOT about the PowerShift (and the fact that Australia has similar percentages as to customers buying automatics versus manual cars) Australia only has the 1.5L EB and SelectShift automatic (probably the same box that's in the Escape, which does lurch at times, but doesn't shake and rattle like the PowerShift does when it fails)

SelectShift is the conventional automatic. Probably the 6F15, which is a lighter version (which can't handle as much hp or torque) of the transmission in the Escape and Fusion.

Hala Heleu I have focus ST

i built a 2017 ford focus with the 1.0L and 6 Spd manual and in sedan form and the total cost is 18,175 USD where did you get 25k from LMAO

Kris Mier I agree. Either that or for older people. So stupid that the European focus gets the 1.5 turbo 185 hp and we don't.

I want one in Race Red or Blue Candy what are you talking about all Americans talk about if MPG not Torque or HP this will attract ALOT of buyers

Kris Mier i live in europe and you re 100% right, especially in Germany, Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, Greece... We ve always had small displacement units because of the gradually heavier taxes for larger engines and for the very high fuel prices. It sounds ridiculous to the average american, but a 2.0 liter focus while it s a compact commuter in the states, in europe is a small family car with a big engine. I remember back in the mid 90s when my dad bought an escort station wagon with a 1.4 liter engine, and the block looked really big when compared with the small fiats and renaults we were used to. Nowadays i drive a 1.7 turbo diesel and even that is out of fashion. The new diesel cars on the same range are 1.5, 1.6 tops. But i digress :) On the subject in hand and given the us market, I would say the 2.0 is a better choice.

yup. In Europe 2.5 liter gets you stares like you've got a gas addiction problem, over here it was an entry level Golf until not so long ago. I have to say, I like it here more, although I wish Americans would make more wagons.

Kris Mier small displacement units from the major brands in europe were always ok but they had a problem. Yes they were economical and quite reliable, but when you had to travel with your family and luggage, there are safety and confort issues due to lack of bhp from a small displacement. Then there was a revolution with small turbo diesel engines and you could buy a torquier more powerful car for an acceptable premium. The issue was these engines were still quite small, sofisticated and sometimes unreliable. Even the japanese struggled with mechanical issues. And because they were diesel, there were more maintenance costs and were not atractive to people who made less than 15k miles a year. The 1.0 ecoboost was really important here because it provided a small and economical but powerfull unit for those low mileage drivers. The competition followed ford with their own takes, VW, PSA, Fiat and today everybody has a similar power plant in their catalogue, so there is no longer a significant power issue. Having said that I also personally prefer the american take on this. Not that I need a huge engine to move about, but I would prefer a 2.2 litre engine over my 1.7,with the same bhp, for a more distressed unit. I would be willing to pay for more fuel but returning more reliability. But the taxes over here brutal and in some cases stupid, so displacement is the enemy.

As long as VW doesn't put the twist beam axle in the rear suspension with the 1.0L TSI, I'd be fine with that!

That was only around Christmas I think.

R Yero I did the 1.0 has the six speed transmission not the dct found on the 2.0 litre

........In manual form.

+Buck Futter The whole video is filled with edits, that's why it is called editing….

+Motormouth Canada See the big reason behind the Focus ecoboost engine being more expensive is because its imported from Valencia Spain 2nd reason Y Ford is promoting the 3 time champion engine is not just mpg, its COx, Ford is the only US brand that emits less than 200 metric ton of COx to the air despite selling more than 260k vehicles in USA and 190k vehicles in Canada year to year, ie because 90% of Ford cars out there are turbos meaning less C0x, F 150s with 3.5 TT EB emit just 50-60% Cox as of GM 6.2l and FCA v8 and no NOx as in diesels Ford is the only brand that cares for mother earth and I pay homage to them for doing that, and they cannot advertise the COx as nobody will give a damn about planet when buying cars, but Ford needs to silently market this benefit and they do it in style

Editing is fine until you start using stock manufacturers' videos. This is a slippery slope.

+LeadHammer lol wtf are you talking about? Is this your first time seeing a review channel use manufactures footage? dumbass

+Anton Eric Erdesi Regular

+Anton Eric Erdesi Even the ST's will run on regular haha! Not that it's recommended if you're looking to get maximum power out of the engine

+Justin C Thanks :)

Barelyalive0 Ruby Red

+cassmanio here in europe or Holland at least the fusion (mondeo over here) is also available with this engine.

the fusion has a 1.5L inline 4 with a turbo. the focus and fiesta gets the 1.0L inline 3 with turbo

Now have 117k

+Mr Bobby Brown The Focus has received a bad reputation for it's Dual Clutch Automatic transmission. Erratic behavior along with some transmission failures. But the good news...this 1.0 engine has been in Europe for a few years before coming to North America and has proven to be very reliable. Even better, the automatic transmission that they just made available for 2016 in the 1.0 Focus is NOT the same Dual Clutch transmission used with the 2.0 engine. Hopefully this automatic in the 1.0 proves more reliable than the Dual Clutch transmission.

If your taking about the 2 litre non ST version perhaps the other 2.0 litre version have lots of transmission issues

Yeah and that two liter four-cylinder engine is extremely reliable, the transmission the power shift not so much but at least it has a 150,000 mile extended warranty due to all the issues, I think that they are great cars and the two liter with the automatic is actually pretty quick-like 7.4 seconds, the dual-clutch transmission makes it feel faster than it is but it does make some weird noises, weird vibrations, and some concerning rolling back on Hills, while in drive...

@@nicholasbabeaux2052 there’s a 150k miles extended warranty? I didn’t know that’s that’s good to know I had the clutch on mine replaced at 117k an ever sense it’s been shifting like a dream it’s really smooth now with the old clutch it use to feel like a manual transmission when taking off it use to jerk a lot

@@nicholasbabeaux2052 the 2.0 is a good engine an it’s nice it has a timing chain have you seen how hard it looks to change that timing belt on the 1.0 eco boost it’s a lot of work

@@kamryn7496 Yeah my mother-in-law bought one and she just turned 70, she really likes it and has gotten used to it and how to drive it, I don’t know what she had replaced not the whole transmission but probably the clutch and it’s been fine ever since, Fine being a relative term once you get used to the noises and the slipping and such. I just looked it up and it said the whole transmission extended warranty was 100,000 miles, and the transmission control module is 150,000 miles but I swear that they’ve extended it since then. I had one as a rental car one time and I was in drive on a hill with my foot on the break and it was rolling backwards like it was disengaged it was rather scary but nonetheless the particular rental I had was a 2017 titanium with every option the white interior and summer tires and it was super fun, it’s almost as fun as my mini Cooper S which is brand new👌🙏

“Fiesta vehicles produced on or before June 30, 2015 and Focus vehicles produced on or before November 5, 2015 are included in this program. Ford has made updates to modules in vehicles currently being produced, and will continue to monitor warranty data” 🙏 Did you have to pay for the clutch?

+Bleu Ray Entertainment This a conventional auto not DCT.

when you test drove the car, did anything rattle build quality wise, also i can't dig up the information where the new 2016 ford forcus were built.

+Bleu Ray Entertainment Made in Michigan as per usual. They won't be made in Mexico until the next generation.

Alright sounds good, I'll recommend this car to my friends then.

The DCT control module has been reworked several times with each iteration being better than before. I'd assume the bugs have been worked out by now.

The new generation Honda beats any car in this class. Even Mazda3 is lesser of a car than the new Civic.

+xkcoocoo Not according to Car and Driver which rated both the Mazda 3 and Golf ahead of the new Civic.

+Photon Guy Honestly, I like all the cars mentioned in your comment.But North American Auto Journalists picked CIVIC as the car of the year.

Car of the Year only compares new models for that particular year hence the 3 and Golf were not compared with the Civic in that competition. The Golf won Car of the Year in the year it was introduced. C/D put them head to head for their annual 10 Best List and picked the Golf and 3 and explicitly excluded the new Civic due to its transmission and some ergonomic issues.

+Photon Guy OK, that I didn't know.
