Is the Ford Focus Powershift a wet or dry clutch?
I am looking to purchase a 2015 Ford Focus 1.5 TDCI with a Powershift automatic gearbox. Does this have a wet clutch or dry clutch powershift gearbox and is this a car you would recommend? I drive around 40,000 miles per year.

I don't know if this is wet clutch or dry clutch, but I can tell you that Ford has had quite a lot of trouble with both: less with the wet clutch because it is designed for higher torque. My advice is to forget it and buy a Mazda 3 2.2 Skyactiv 150d 6-speed torque converter auto.
