Focus Trend 1.8L M/T?

[denis_8th]

I recently bought a 2009 Focus Trend 1.8L MT.

Travelled 400kms from Lipa Batangas to Guinobatan Albay.
Achieved 15KM/L highway cruising speed (70-80KPH).
8 to 12KM/L achievable on city driving, depending on city conditions.

Gas pedal is electronic, not with cable,
sensitivity of gas delayed for about 0.5 secs.
Makes first gear run a little harder,
especially on hanging scenarios.
I was wondering and searching if this can be adjusted.
casa people said not possible.
Fifth gear 2000rpm running only at 70Kph.

My electric side mirror controller is defective.
Pressing left-right buttons move the mirrors up-down.
pressing up-down moves left-right.
Checked a unit on display.
Central locking doesn't lock the back doors.
Ive heard most ford buyers often return to shop
to have their vehicles checked for defects.

ciao.

Hi. May iba ka bang complaints sa Focus 1.8 m/t mo? Plano ko rin kaseng kumuha nyan eh. I am comparing it with the new city? Any ideas?

Also, magkano mo nakuha? Umaabot ba ng 10km/l ang city driving? Bagong driver lang ako so kailangan ko yung madaling i-handle at i-maneuver.

The Focus is, hands down, more comfortable than the City. Better elbow room, just a tiny bit less legroom. The seats are better, and the car feels more upmarket (classier). The City is the more practical car... more economical engines, and it looks good. It's up to you whether the sacrifice in fuel economy is worth getting the Focus.

The only problem with the previous Trend was that the 1.6 liter engine was too small to carry the body. The 1.8 liter is the perfect size for it.
