Ahh yours is almost brand spanking new! My -05 1.6 Ti-Vct manual has +350k km in it now. If it continues to pass inspections, I'll drive it to the ground.
Hey there! Sounds fantastic! I heard that the Ti-VCT‘s make problems from time to time but this seems to be like all car reviews: It depends! 🤣 Thanks for the nice comment! 👍 All the best for your Ford & yourself! Cheers!
@@CrocodilePictures99 Yeah, there are definitely some "diesel" sounds coming from the cam when cold which is an early sign of the system going bad. Will probably try engine flush and varying oil thickness for fun but even if the sounds remained, people have driven with the sounds tens of thousands or more and nothing worse happening. :)
Hey there! It certainly is a decent car… Nothing for the racetrack, but a car you can trust. I never had a manual one, so I cannot say anything to those… But, if you like, check the other video in my channel for a review of a 2017 Ford Focus 6 speed manual… Cheers and all the best for your time with your new beauty!
I had a same focus. It was made in China. It was bought on 2006 and sold on 2016, 100K KM.not that much functional as yours. I like it's controllability.
i have the same engine and same gearbox.. but mine is a 5door hatchback... fuelconsuption is down at 6 l per 100km on motorway, and 6,6 to 7,6 on average driving.. not bad.. but it is not the fastest car as you say..
Hi there! Thanks for your comment! Well, I do not know to be honest. But I think, as this is a complete electronic component, I guess there will be no repair shop which starts a repair. Instead, my assumption is that it will be exchanged. Good luck with this! 🍀
Nashaat Salem If you don't mind me asking, Are they reliable? Thinking about getting one and would like a first person opinion from someone who owns one.
einer meiner Autos ist ein Ford Focus Mk1 1.6 mit der 4f27e Automatik. Wunderbares Auto! Einziger Nachteil zu deinem, ich habe noch eine Drosselklappe die per Seilzug und nicht elektrisch gesteuert wird. Für Automatik nicht optimal.Sonst ein wirklich zuverlässiger Motor und Getriebe. Machen beide modellübergreifend keine Probleme und wenn es mal welche gibt sind die leicht zu beheben. Habe gesehen, du willst gerne Leute kennenlernen, welche sich vorallem für Ford faszinieren.Wo kommstn her
14725800369 Hey ✌️. Danke für den Kommentar. Schön zu hören, dass Du ähnliche Erfahrungen mit Deinem gemacht hast. Wirklich ein tolles Auto. Bin sehr gerne damit gefahren. Und war sehr komfortabel - und sehr robust. Ist nach meinem Kenntnisstand heute im Berufsverkehr unterwegs (Kurierdienste). Klar, Erfahrungsaustausch ist immer gut! 👍 Ich komme aus Süddeutschland. Viele Grüße!
Hi there! If you are talking about the digital part of the tachometer, I can tell you that it goes off automatically after a little while the car was locked. Cheers!
Got, one question. Is the gearbox reliable? In would really like to buy a Focus, and I was looking forward into buying one with a 4 speed auto (mostly for city driving)
Tigermenace Hi there! Thanks for your comment. I know that a general statement is hard to give because every car has a different usage and repair / maintenance history. But for the car I drove, I can only say: I never had any problems. Hot summer, icy winter, long distances, city driving - all was just easy and absolutely reliable. Hope this helps! Cheers!
Hello. Can you explain how this dual climate works? I really dont understand how it works, it is only for the driver and passenger in right? or it also works in the back of the car for the rest of passengers?
Micu Gabriel Hi there! The two-zone climate control works for the right and left front seat. Temperature differences from about 4 degrees celsius. Nice thing, works well... But I never used it... 😉😆 Thanks for watching!
i love the car but the only annoying thing what i have with my 2006 Focus 1.8 tdci is the floating Temperature gauge when you accelerate it goes down when you drive normal and dont accelarate it to much it will climb up but thats what Ford thinks is ok and they didn't made a fix to it
Thanks for your comment! 👍 I am glad to hear that you like it. I did, too... Watch my other videos to see what new car we have 😉 Cheers and keep on rolling! 🚙
Hallo, ich bin noch nie einen Ford mit Wandlerautomatik gefahren und frage mich, schaltet das Getriebe ruckfrei und sauber quasi ohne Schubunterbrechung?
Hallo! Tja, dann wird es Zeit 😉. Ja, also bei normalen Bedingungen ganz sanfte Schaltvorgänge ohne Zugkraftunterbrechung oder Geruckle. Allerdings nach einer Nacht draußen bei Temperaturen unter dem Gefrierpunkt können die ersten 2-3 Kilometer mal etwas rauer sein, aber mehr auch nicht. Tolles, komfortables und robustes Getriebe. Zu empfehlen! 👍
Hi @Pavel I! Wow, that sounds really much... But without more information, it is hard to judge... What kind of driving are you mostly doing? City? Cross country? Is the car packed or not? Do you recognize any strange sounds or other things? The only thing I can say is that my maximum fuel consumption was about 9 liters, Autobahn, maximum speed, 4 people, climate control, baggage in the trunk. But we never had 10 liters or more... Sorry!
I drive 50/50 city/national roads, but my average km is 27 km/h, maybe this is the issue, the drive through city, when I bought the car, it had an average of 8.8 l/100 km
@@deadguner1 Yes, the average speed sounds really pretty low... Overdrive in the country lets the fuel consumption drop a lot... Give it a try and let me know what you found out... Cheers!
Bassel Nassan Hallo! Naja, eine kurze Zeit nachdem das Auto abgeschlossen wurde bleibt es an-ich schätze so ca. 1-2 Minuten. Länger sollte es nicht an bleiben. Viele Grüße!
Hi there! No, as said in the video: My most reliable car I had. And that’s what I heard from others, too... And: I don’t like VW that much either 😇. Cheers!
Hi there! 4-speed automatic is not bad at all. It is reliable and cost-saving, as maintenance is under normal circumstances really no problem. The maximum speed of this car is about 160 km/h which is ca. 100 miles per hour. I admit that the acceleration of this car is not like a sports car - but for the everday usage without special trailers etc. really affordable and without problems! Cheers! :)
EDAY GTR Easy thing: Don’t drive too much 😂. Just kidding... Try to get in the highest gear as soon as possible. The torque converter is deactivated in this mode which means a much better fuel consumption. Cherrs! 👍
@@peterobinson9421 Cool thing! And I totally agree. One of the most reliable cars I have ever been driving! Even better than my VW Golf IV I had before… We got a 2017 Focus now. Again a good car! Review will follow soon, so stay tuned! :) Cheers!
Well I considering this car either with manual or automatic. But automatic seems quite slow, compared to manual in acceleration. Can't decide what to get. It's quite shame that it has perfect suspension but weak engines. I mainly want it for city driving, more like fluent driving, but automatic looks very lazy for this type driving.
That is definitively right. I drove the same car as manual, as I had the service done on my own car. The engine, same manufacturing year. Totally different in its performance behavior. No wonder - the automatic is a 4-speed, the manual a 5-speed. Nevertheless, the comfort while driving with an automatic is beyond comparison. Especially when you are planning to use it as a city car. There is nothing better than driving relaxed with automatic. Easy stop and go etc... Let me know how you decide! Cheers!
@@CrocodilePictures99 well currently I have Mercedes ML with automatic which is quite good for stop and go traffic, I really like it especially for it's "hill hold" feature of gearbox. But I also had 'daily' car Skoda Felicia (for shopping within 5km range great, with this style of driving I can still manage 6-7L/100km ) but this one is manual with 50kW, not much but it makes job done, for more sporty ride I like it better even when is old af, and city overtaking is not such an nightmare than in ML (till gearbox wake up, down shifts..).. But currently for same price I can get 2009 model over 2006 with automatic gearbox. Worst thing with old car is you can't try at least for a day if it fits you, because is nowhere to rent, to give you final decision what to get.
Polkacik thanks for sharing your experience! It is of course pretty subjective if a Focus with 100 hp is enough... For me, it was an absolutely reliable partner for years. Good luck for your decision! Cheers!
Hey there! Thanks for the comment. Well, have a look in the glove compartment. Underneath the lid, at the front upper left side-there Usedom be mine. Please share the result, as this would be interesting for others as well. Thanks and cheers!
Nashaat Salem I don‘t know what exactly you mean. However, if you leave the car and want to close all windows at once, just press and hold the locking button on your remote key. Maybe this is what you are looking for.
@@nashaatsalem4117 Oh, now I understand what you meant. This is the very low and wide button which is located below the four bottons for the power Windows, at the driver door side. If you activate it, an orange light will indicate that it has been activated. Check it out and let me know if you could find it and if it works. Would be interesting to know… Cheers!
I had this almost exact car, 1.6 automatic, Futura, also low km mine was a bit less luxury but still drove good, k&n filter, Focus ST exhaust, it was a good car, but not fast at all PS: i love Fuck lights
