I know your channel is not really technical but as for feelings how do you describe the automatic gearbox in this focus? Have you tried the last gen automatic 8 speed and how does it compare to you to the new dual clutch that you tried
Ford switched to torque converter automatics a few years ago after PowerShift failed, but in their newest models have started to use a new 7 speed PowerShift which is different than the old one.
@@AntonHorn How is it different though? It's still a dual-clutch no? Otherwise it's baffling that they switched from regular 8 auto to this powershift with the facelift..
Why did they even switch from regular 8 auto to this powershift with facelift anyway.. Edit: This actually seems to be a different than the old ones, but named the same.
Consumption 10 l/100 !? 😮 It's an incredible amount! It's impossible How would you compare this Focus Active mhev with the new Cupra Leon and Formentor 1,5 e-tsi, when it comes to the comfort, noise and suspension - which one is more comfortable and silent?
Focus is quiter, I have active x one with diesel. The power delivery is problematic with 1.5 lt 115 hp for sure. The gasoline ones have 3 cylinder engine with timing belt running in oil. Do not get gasoline one unless if you will drive it for 40000 km then sell it.
у вас в Бразилии тоже штрафуют за пользование тачскрином на ходу, как и с сотовым телефоном? Или тачскрином можно пользоваться на ходу и только за пользование сотовым телефоном штраф берут? Чо-то каша такая творится...
@@bezputink В Бразилии вас оштрафуют, только если вы держите свой мобильный телефон во время вождения. Если вы поставите его на подставку, прикрепленную к машине, вас не оштрафуют. Не имеет смысла, но так оно и есть...
I had a Focus with the same engine, just handshifted and without the mildhybrid-system... the average consumption over 3 years and 90.000 km usual driving was 5,6 litres/100km. Right now I have the Puma with mildhybrid-system and DSG (same combination as in the test) and the average consumption over 2 years and 35.000 km is also 5,6 litres/100km. So 10 litres is surely an exception :)
You can't oder and buy a new Ford focus or Fiesta in the UK. Surprised they are still available else where in Europe since they are a British designed cars.
I ordered my Active Vignalle in November 2021, still no build or delivery date, as of yet. Be lucky if I see it before Christmas..This is the second car I ordered, my original order was done 13 monrths ago for a 2.0ldiesel eco blue Active X, was told it would never get built, so I had to cancel it.
@@khelgarironfist3301 well I was angry that day . I got a tractor like sound but probably something to do with the transmission. Doesn't always do it. Car has only 12.000km. It's a Focus mHEV 155hp 1.0 2021 ... Since I only got it on video and when I go to repairs it doesn't make the sound, ford hasn't fixed it yet even if I've shown them a video where you can clearly hear it, their comment was 'it's like a tractor' and they said it needs to do it when they're there, it's pathetic what I'm going thru with these ford service muppets in slovenia. Car was 29.000€ (heads up display, digital cluster etc. St Line X) and then I get f*** in the head by Ford when I have an error at only 12.000km.
@@BOF303 sounds annoying. I read a similar problem with Mazda and some dealers said the sound was normal and related to the charging of the MHEV system. Full of weird tech these new cars are. I'd probably consider the regular 1.5 150 HP Ecoboost if i went for the Focus, they are discontinued as new tho.
@@edgk490 no and now I have a new issue at 22.000km, engine making weird sound from 2.5k to 3k rpm in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear. Ford wont fix it under warranty. Im gonna switch to puma st 1.5, never again 1.0
Hey number ONE. You are killing us with those great videos!
Thank you very much my friend 🙏
Merci Dan pour ta vidéo sur la Ford Focus😄
Merci a toi ami 🙏👍

What a great car and a great review.
Thanks 👍 🙏
сколько раз водитель отвлекся на тачскрин во время движения и как это сказывается на безопасноости.
@@bezputink I was hoping to see a translation option . unfortunately there is not I did not understand what you were saying.

Thank you very much
This one is a very great car ...... I like it much .....

Hi Why was the left speed gauge blacked towards the end of the video at 17:44?
Editor mistake
@@SDADanCars uncommon mistake 🤨
This will be a fast selling vehicle
I wish you put the link of full review in the description .
The Review will come soon.....is not ready 🙂👍
I though Ford had little success with DSG type gear boxes and did have old torque converter types recently?
....not sure

This is dual clutch now. Feels much better and smoother than old 8-speed.
Is it better than the new astra GS line
I dont think so
@@kubassko3043 I just ordered a GS line in black 😁
are the rear brake lights led? i m waiting for my active x but it will come in october...:(
Yes if I remember well
Very nice video I want ask you ford focus active x or kia xceed ?
Thanks 🙏 Hard to say …. I like more Kia XCeed … longer guarantee 😁
I have orderd the ST Line X wagon hybride 155pk automatic.
Are there also flippers on it for manual driving?
I cant remember 😪
@@SDADanCars okay to bad then. Just have to wait for 2023 Feb
If you mean the shifter paddles behind the steering wheel, yes it has. Only the St-line version though, the rest do not have this for some reason.
@@christosnikolakakis6046 great thank you
@@269jeroenify How do you like your car? Getting mine tomorrow.
That powershift transmission is cursed in Brazil lol everyone hates it

When will we be able to order new Ford Focus in the UK, I wonder?
@@nickhickson8738 My guess would be at least 2023 or until the demand for Crossovers and SUV's dies down!
@@prussell890
Didn't think they manipulate the market like that. Thought it was microchip shortage.
@@nickhickson8738 100% correct, and the ones they can get they prioritise for the Puma and Kuga as they make more money off them.

the screen is just to big. it looks so weird in the interieur. i prefer the old model
