Got one a year ago, sarap idrive, sobrang tulin.
Minsan di ko namamalayan 100km/h na pala ako, akala ko nasa 70km/h pa, tahimik siya pag mabilis.
Inalis na nila yung super problematic DCT from the previous model, normal 6 speed torque converter na ang transmission nito ngayon.
No issues so far except for the usual scraping nung front skirts paminsan.

Fuel consumption is not that bad. Been getting 7.8km/L in an avg speed of 19km/h. City driving yan with a little bit of full throttle. I believe more than 8km/L is achievable kaso tempting magpabilis.

And if you care about 0-100 times, its around 8.1 to 8.4 seconds.

No question on the capabilities of the Focus Ecoboost but sadly, the unreliability of the DCT model has impacted the sales of this 6AT model.

That's good that you are getting 7+ km/L per liter which is decent for an engine of that output. My friend who owns the hatchback model is only getting between 6-7 km/L on Sucat-MOA traffic.

Medyo mababa talaga road clearance ng Ford cars (Fiesta, Focus). Sayad yung chin minsan sa mga humps or inclined parking.

For 1.08M, you can get the base model hatchback or sedan and you can get one quick car despite being heavy for a compact. Actual 0-100 kmh as per most reviews is just above 8 seconds which is about the same as the Mazda3 2.0L and other midsize cars (Accord 2.4L, Mazda6 2.5L).
