Ford Focus Questions

[actor21]

is it worth to sell my vios 1.5g AT in favor of Ford Focus TDCi? noon gustong gusto ko ang focus pero after reading those bad incidents nagdadalawang isip na ako since wala naman ako problem sa vios ko

Hello,

To anyone who own or has experience with a 2.0 A/T Focus Hatch.

What is the fuel consumption nito in everyday city driving?

What are the things to look for na sirain if you are buying one na second hand?

have a friend who is selling his. But medjo out of my budget. But kung ok naman ang performance, ok na din. I like the way this car looks too!

Thanks for any help to make my decision.

If properly cared for (not drag-raced, use clean diesel, warm up before "birit" and cool down after), a TDCi will give you relatively trouble-free motoring. The worst problems you might see are a busted engine mount (these are expensive) if you shift aggressively and do jack-rabbit starts, and worn brakes if you drive too fast.

Oh... and while gasoline Focii tend to eat the rear tires due to the built-in negative rear camber, the diesel tends to eat front tires due to the built-in tire shredder Ford calls an engine.

Oh, and considering this is a 1.4 ton two-liter turbocharged car with a 6 liter oil sump capacity, don't expect normal maintenance items to be as cheap as with a Vios. Maintenance will cost somewhere between that of a midsize and that of a compact car. The fuel economy makes up for it, though.

Around 5.5-7 km/l in urban driving. not any worse than other 2 liter automatics (the Civic and Corolla 2.0 are the same).

Look out for CV Joint issues if it's an older model (2006 ata yung recall) and the usual squeaks, rattles and suspension issues that plague compact cars due to our pothole riddled streets.

Dos Litros... automatic... don't expect much. Once talked to a guy with a 2 liter Civic (the original, yung ES sedan). Admitted the fuel consumption was horrible in traffic (and this was a Honda management guy), but he said that whenever he wanted to get to a meeting on time, there was only one car in his garage he'd take...

yep, this is pretty accurate. i have an 06 2.0L a/t hatch myself and, yes, gas mileage sucks, but there hasn't been a day that i didn't enjoy driving it. it's pretty fast even at stock. suspension in stiff which makes the car very responsive and fairly predictable.

maintenance is pretty much the same as other late model cars. mine's at 30k kms and the only major parts i've replaced are the front shocks - which is what you need to look out for, btw. if it hasn't been replaced yet then chances are ikaw ang magpapareplace niyan soon.
