Only one Focus model has a diesel engine, the TDCi Sport.
This is the current 2009 Focus range.
Focus 1.8 Style sedan M/T (gasoline) P779K
Focus 1.8 Trend sedan M/T (gasoline) P799K
Focus 1.8 Trend hatchback A/T(gasoline) P859K
Focus 2.0 Ghia sedan A/T (gasoline) P999K
Focus 2.0 Sport hatchback A/T (gasoline) P999K
Focus 2.0 TDCi Sport Powershift (diesel) P1.189M
About the 6-speed Powershift dual-clutch transmission of the Focus TDCi, this is all you really need to know...
"the six-speed PowerShift gearbox combines the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission with easy operation of an automatic transmission."
"Compared to traditional automatic four-speed transmissions, PowerShift can help reduce fuel consumption by up to 9 percent depending on the application."
If you want to know how it works, continue reading...
"PowerShift provides the full comfort of an automatic with a more sophisticated driving dynamic, thanks to uninterrupted torque from the dual-clutch technology, which consists essentially of two manual transmissions working in parallel, each with its own independent clutch unit. One clutch carries the uneven gears – 1, 3 and 5 – while the other the even gears – 2, 4 and 6. Subsequent gear changes are coordinated between both clutches as they engage and disengage for a seamless delivery of torque to the wheels." - Ford

Thanks AG4... i drive the Focus 2.0 TDCi .. i really don't get the Powershift thing.. all I know is that this car is really fuel efficient... and handling is really good especially turning and changing lanes... my average fuel comsumption is 13 km/L i'd like it to be around 15-17 km/L.. if possible though... maybe chnge the way i step on the pedals...... because i'm trying not to hit more than 2000rpm....
Meron din po akong question. May umiilaw na warning light dun sa dashboard ng 2008 Ford Focus 1.8 M/T. Yung light color red tapos gear na may exclamation point. For some reason di ko makita sa manual yung symbol na kasama nung sasakayan.
What's the going rate for an average mileage 2005 Ford Focus 2.0 Hatchback?

i recently bought a 2nd hand 2006 focus 2.0, i cant seem to activate the fog lamps, the seller didnt give me the owners manual, help pls
the abs light is always on also, any suggestions?
ABS light could mean either a busted sensor or a problem with your brake fluid or pads. You can see if your ABS still works by finding a deserted road (preferably slightly dusty), getting up to 40 km/h... then stomping on the brakes. If you don't get that rat-a-tat-tat machine-gunlike sound from your brakes and instead, they lock up (screech to a stop), then your ABS is out.
Foglight control... don't know if I remember right, I think you can push down on the rotary dial that activates the headlights to turn them on.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
