Mahina ang sales? Any new statistics for the sales of the Focus? The last time I checked, the sales of the 1.8L and 2.0L is VERY strong considering the 900K+ pricetag.

The 1.6 "new" Focus (same as this one) was tested by Autocar at 10.4 seconds to 100 kph. Not anemic at all, and just as fast as the 1.8 ATs that the other manufacturers are putting out.
It should also get relatively good gas mileage, if we get the same gearing.
Wala pa bang 1.8 or 2.0 na MT? I'm waiting, Ford... I'm getting ready to buuuuuuuy. :D
EDIT: Pahiram ng pics, carlo.... I'll post them up on the Ford board.Last edited by niky; December 5th, 2005 at 03:52 PM.

what i heard this 1.6L is the TI-VCT (twin independent variable cam shaft timing). which has 144lb-ft of torque which is higher than most 1.6s and almost in the league of 2.0L engines.
The new Focus pioneers Ford’s new 115 PS, 1.6-litre Duratec Ti-VCT engine – with twin independent variable camshaft technology – as part of a comprehensive powertrain line-up.
Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) improves airflow through the engine and delivers more torque while reducing average fuel consumption by up to 5 per cent.
As with anything that has ropy looks, after a while you get past them and concentrate on other qualities. And so it goes with the Ford Focus. The yawn-inducing re-design has garnered more column inches than perhaps it deserves, but its impressive driving dynamics are now getting well-deserved attention.
With this in mind, the attention inevitably turns to engines. The 2.0 TDCi we drove last month is already being vaunted as the one to have, but at £16,295 for a three-door it's not going to match everyone's idea of affordable family motoring. However, new for this Focus is a 1.6 Ti-VCT. Standing for Variable Cam Timing, it boosts a regular 1.6 to 113bhp and offers improved high-end torque. So a same-spec gutsy mid-range petrol can be yours for £13,945.
Good in theory, reasonable in practise. The VCT is just about sufficient to keep the Focus sweet, albeit it's a fairly noisy experience. A 0-62mph time of 10.8 seconds isn't going to thrill either, but with 144lb ft of torque, there are still moments when it feels as sorted as the diesels.
The real upside of the VCT is the impressive economy, with a possible 43.8mpg. So, at the very least, it's the pick of the petrols.
