Had my Focus Titanium 1.0L since February now - absolutely love it. 2017 plate, just had it's first MOT and passed. No issues. Not expensive to insure, tax, fill up - and if anything ever goes wrong, they're not expensive to fix either. Would recommend to anyone.

Hi, how was the car? Any problems? Do you still have it?

@@shoaibahmed1618 Hi - yes I still have the same one. It's great for me. I'm not big on cars but I definitely think it's worth spending a bit of money on a good car. It works for me. I do low mileage in a year tbh so not sure how it would fare on high mileage, but for what I need and use, its great.

Good car, phenomenal engine, but the stated fuel economy numbers are way out (mine is the 125bhp manual version). Expect to get low 40's (as in 40-43) for mixed town/carriageway/motorway, and upper 40's for mainly motorway. Other than the economy though, it's a great car.

In town driving im getting low 30s sometimes is that normal for this engine on e10? I live in leicester and the traffic is notoriously bad so maybe the bad traffic means the mpg is always gonna be shit here. I did manage to get it to 50mpg on the motorway recently but it seems to be terrible at short trips even when the engines warmed up

@stephennoble2647 5 жыл бұрын

I don't know why they fit push button start and don't fit keyless entry? Or they have it as an optional extra. They go hand in hand in my opinion. No keyless entry, I have to take the key from my pocket and open the door, then I can put it back in my pocket and start it in the button. For crying out loud Ford, fit keyless as well with the push start and stop penny pinching. They've even made it an option on the newer, latest Mk4 Focus. Most other cars, even Kia have it all as standard. Ford needs to up its game a bit as they're getting left behind by other brands...

Gaffney 7 well i certainly like both cars, you would be spoiled for choice. However i am of the opinion that a bigger engine working well within its capabilities will last longer and cost less in repairs, than a smaller engine that is being pushed to the limit, if you are pottering round town the 1.0 ecoboost is great but if you are doing motorways and a fair amount of miles i would go for the bigger engine Mazda, or a bigger engine in the Ford

This is one of the weirder cars I've driven (automatic transmission). Despite its 1 liter engine, it 'feels' when putting your gas lightly on and moving that you're driving a V6 Taurus or something. But I really, really disliked the transmission, probably not helped by the 1 liter engine vs. turbocharger, but it feels like it has 2 acceleration speeds: dangerously slow, and tire spinning fast. Doing right turns onto busy streets from a stop was so scary, because if you push your foot on the gas at anything half pressure or under, you creep out like a grandma, and need to give yourself well more time than any other car would to make your turn. But then if you go half pressure and up, you're spinning your tires around the turn. And if you play with the accelerator while driving, it is very hard to understand what the transmission decides to do and when, and even when you accelerate hard and then let your foot off the gas, there's about a second where the car still kind of accelerates, and then decides to decelerate. I'm guessing that's from the turbo, though. Still, very weird.

@BarrieCrampton 6 жыл бұрын

YepImTheToaster yep i get you, to achieve the fuel economy and acceleration its a compromise between the engine size, the amount of cylinders, the turbo and the gearing, i suppose the only answer to your problem as to give it some gas but control the take up with the clutch to avoid wheel spin 😎 which isnt going to help things long term, clutch and fly wheel wear, just have to hope you save enough money on fuel to get the repairs done 😎

@jsj297 6 жыл бұрын

Surprised they didn't pair this engine with a cvt transmission, sounds like that would alleviate the acceleration issues.
