Ford Focus RS

When the design language of the Ford, baptized inspired Kinetic, meets with maximum expression of technology in the compact segment, the result can only be positive. And cars tested showed us two things.

The most powerful iteration, we tested the Focus, develops 125 hp and 170 Nm, impressive for an engine of this caliber.

Engine/Transmission

In addition to being the strongest one-liter engine offered in the compact segment, the smallest EcoBoost is technologically advanced. A unique feature is the belt distribution system, according to the manufacturer, does not require changing at regular intervals.
In standard Focus 1.0 EcoBoost is six-speed manual transmission.

Engine/Transmission

To test our global model we used 1.6-liter petrol engine. An old engine, of 105 horsepower, whose place will be taken soon by 1.0 Ecoboost engine.
The unit is somewhat offset by the current market developments. Obsolescence but by itself does not attract and physical wear. The engine feels pretty good, if not excel in terms of dynamics.
The 150 Nm at 4000 feel only the rotations and do not provide the boost that you have looked at the floor when you step on the accelerator. In city traffic, motorization is fair play, decent, no sporting pretensions. But lying on the road with a passenger and luggage in the car, sometimes puffy saloon.
Resources are managed by four-cylinder with a manual five reports.

Unfortunately there is need of the six steps, which would have fallen even more extra consumption.
