Active stop is not a replacement for attentiveness. it cannot respond immediately to quickly moving objects, but it does help.

Supposedly, the 1 liter Ecoboost will go into the gasoline Focus. No word on whether that one is coming here, but it would be sweet.

I'd prefer a Focus without Active Park Assist or even Active Stop, but has a good HU that won't need to be replaced anymore, full power amenities, and of course, a diesel engine. I prefer to have the basics covered than to have fancy toys I won't even get to use in day-to-day operations.

ford should just concentrate on improving quality, durability. yun fancy toys will just be problems in the future. IMHO.

Too bad the Ford Focus will only come with a gasoline engine. I prefer to have the start-stop engine feature when you press down on the brakes.

Who cares how it works in those cities? Problema na ng mga European yan. If Ford can make it work in the Ph, that's good enough for me.

All the new A/T Focus models now use a 6-speed PowerShift transmission (dual-clutch).

The Focus TDCi Powershift was launched here late 2008, so no 5 year old models yet.

PS: The Powershift of the TDCi uses a wet clutch system, the Powershift of the Petrol/gasoline model uses a dry clutch system.
Wet clutches tend to lose some enrgy because of the lubricating liquid its submerged in, but it supposedly lasts longer than dry clutches.

For me, sulit na sulit yung top of the line 2012 Focus. At that price and with all the features, sobrang sulit niya. What more pa kaya if Ford ASEAN decides to manufacture the Focus TDCi? For me, it has the best value for money in its class ngayon.
