My brother has a fiesta 1.0 ecoboost and i really enjoyed driving it and i never feel tired even after long distance trips of 480+ kms. So how much more with this focus that has bigger body and engine.

If that new 6AT SelectShift tranny is quite quick to change gears and coupled with that amount of torque at low rpm, I think the Focus 1.5L Ecoboost can easily do 7 seconds on a 0-100kmh sprint. I guess it will stay on top as the quickest compact available unless Honda brings in right away the new Civic 1.5L Turbo or VW brings in the Golf/Jetta 1.8L Turbo models.

Ive seen a few of the focuses roaming around already. It looks a bit better than the old model and the 180hp engine is quite tempting. There is already a unit in the showroom of Ford BGC if you guys want to check it out. There are a few in the storage lot of Ford Alabang (the one near the BPOs).

Australian reviews peg the 0-100 to 8.5 seconds which is decent and probably as fast as an 86 in the real world.

8.5 seconds for a 0-100 kmh is a bit conservative. Though the new Focus is listed as being around 1400+ kg which is heavy for a compact. A DCT tranny might make it quicker but we all know how allergic some people are with Ford's DCT. Euro cars with DCT tranny are quicker than similar models with MT or AT tranny, with the exception of the new 8-speed AT being adapted for performance cars.

132kw = 180hp
Its 1366kgs and that is quite heavy but its still faster than any other compact in its price range. Annoyingly the Focus ST costs just a little more than a Focus Ecoboost Titanium in australia.

^^^For a few more thousand, you're already looking at the monster Focus RS with its 350HP 2.3L Ecoboost engine plus AWD and drift capability.

I already inquired a few weeks back in Ford Makati and they only have the display unit. In OLX, there are already agents offering low DP schemes for it. The base models at 1.088M offers good value for its price, knowing that most other compacts are priced at 1M already. The TOTL Plus models are priced about the same as the TOTL compacts from other brands (Honda's TOTL Civic is even more expensive).

The price is competitive indeed within its class. Having been driven the fiesta ecoboost, i was seriously considering this car. But since i haven't received any feedback from owners i ended up reserving for the mazda 3 instead.

If any Ford dealership will offer me a trade-in promo with my 2014 Fiesta Ecoboost to get the new Focus Ecoboost, I would jump on it right away. That 1.5L Ecoboost engine packs more juice than some 2.4L-2.5L NA engines used in midsize cars.

Most other countries got the Focus Ecoboost in 2015 so reviews are available in Youtube. Some countries have the lower tuned engine model (150hp only) but PH got the 180PS version. The Fiesta Ecoboost already is a blast to drive with a 0-100KMH sprint of just above 9 seconds. The Focus Ecoboost is bigger but a second quicker to 100KMH than the Fiesta Ecoboost so what is not to like about it unless you are waiting for HondaPH to bring the much lighter and much quicker Civic 1.5L Turbo to be sold locally.

Knok nok..... 1.5 ecoboost owner.

How is it? Handling? Acceleration? Comfort? Suspension setting? Fuel consumption?

[redled]

Fuel consumption.

FC(6.6km/liter city traffic) sucks, the new Civic/Elantra will probably have 30% better fc in the city against this gas guzzler.

Even the ************ review claimed it had bad fuel consumption (but the review was during apec). A mileage of 6.6kml is what you would expect from a camry/legacy. The legacy 2.5 review claims 7km/l in bad city traffic and that is a much bigger, awd, 2.5l sedan.

I have seen very few in the road. I see more new wrx actually. Ford is making hay with the ranger/Everest/Explorer/Ecosport anyway.

The explorer also outsells the focus.

[niky]

Actually, 6-7 is what you'd expect of a 2.0 AT in city traffic.

Last time I test drove a new 2.0 sedan, I only got 6 km/l in the city. And that was years ago, before EDSArmageddon began.

First things first, most of these reviewers don't have the same standard of what's light/moderate/heavy traffic. Some guys think 25 kph as moderate traffic when that'll definitely be light traffic for others. Also, not all of them note the average speed when the FC reading was recorded (as some cars don't have this feature, or perhaps some reviewers aren't as meticulous).
