Buying a new mid size car

What do you think of the Ford Focus 1.6 Titanium petrol automatic. What compares?

Asked on 5 November 2011 by tony KK

Answered by Honest John
These are fitted with the twin shaft twin clutch Powershift transmission which is like a VW DSG but works better. No complaints at all in the 3 years that Ford has been fitting it. Not the same as the old 4 speed torque converter auto fitted to the old model Focus 1.6 auto.
