January 24th, 2014 10:28 PM #21Whew. I am on the same predicament as Fotus. The most economical I've reached with our 600km 1.6 Focus AT is only 8.67 km/L ( city-highway driving). Even observed that FC improved when I drove it in 2200 to 2500 rpm than driving it in steady 2000 rpm.This is quite alarming because I have been driving our 03 manual CRV on the same route with 10km/L. Hope everything improves after 5000km.

US forums say much about the faulty/noisy 6speed Powershift transmission of Focus models. Was this experienced by any Focus buyer here in the PH?

February 18th, 2014 05:55 PM #24I drive a Focus 2.0 Sport, I can agree to the 6 Speed Powershift Transmission being noisy, but not really faulty. It's a bit
jerky and irritating in Metro Manila traffic specially after driving other vehicles with normal a/t transmissions. But once I adjust
the way I step on the gas pedal, most of the jerk is eliminated. There's a certain way to drive this car. I guess it's irritating
for most but I can live with it.

Also test drove the Focus 2.0S and hardly noticed the jerkiness. You're right, the jerkiness may just be on the way the driver steps on the gas pedal. What some US customers reported though are cases of grinding noise and vibration of the Focus' Powershift. But that's 2013 pa. I am assuming Ford has already corrected this with the new models released here in the ASEAN.
