Great video. Just bought a 2nd hand, 3rd etc version of this. 2012. This video has shown me more of what it can do than the manual. Excellent stuff, cheers
I've had the estate version now for bout 6 years and have been more than pleased with it. I plan to keep it as long as possible. I love my gadget's and this has got an awful lot of tech on it .Love the way it parks itself , lovely sound system , very comfortable drive. The only nag I have is it should be either leather interior or fabric , mine is both. Leather seats would have just finished it off.
I have owned the Titanium X for four months now and am delighted with it. Re the auto-park system, it parks with millimetric precision in a space you would seriously think twice about if you were relying on your own judgement ie well within two car lengths!
I assume buying a focus titanium 2013 diesel engine 1.6 tdci- is it a good option in terms of clutch sensitivity (enough revs to engine without gas), transmission effectiveness (heard of some transmission problems, not sure if they reffer only to automatics).. hill assistant, and overall drriving experience? Does it only have rear parking sensors (heard of parking assistant- does all titanium models have it). Thanks
You might like to add that the Powershift is essentially designed like a manual transmission with mechatronics controlling the gearshift. So you get the responsiveness of a manual transmission with the convenience of an auto! VW's DSG is similarly designed.
Just as a matter of interest, this car was billed here in the UK as a 'World Car'; it's virtually identical wherever it is on sale judging by the many clips on-line!
I have a Titanium Navigator 1.6 Petrol Automatic from 2014. I am not able to find & add the digital speedometer on my display screen, I can find Trip 1 but unable to find Trip 2 where the speedometer setting should be. Does anyone knows how to add it if possible?
Whats funny to me is the fact it takes longer to tell the car what to do than to actually do it yourself. He could adjust the temperature faster manually than telling the car to do it. He could change radio stations faster as well, especially if they're pre-programmed than telling the car to do it.
Actually, it's an Australian registered car hence the Australian accent. The number plate has VIC on it which indicates it was registered in the state of Victoria. He talks about a price of 32.5k (Australian dollars). In the UK it would be about 21k pounds. He also refers to distances in Ks i.e. kilometres. In the UK distances are measured in miles. He also refers to consumption in l/km whereas in the UK we refer to miles/gallon UK number plates have a very different format
im afraid all the current models sold in australia are assembled in thailand now, some 2011 and 2012 models however were manufactured in germany (VIN number starts with WF). not the first time aussies are getting ripped off
Uhm.... I hate to tell you but the build quality is absolutely no different, regardless of whether built in Germany or Thailand. The parts are the same, the build processes are the same, the tolerances are the same, the attention to detail is the same. I know this because I've examined both closely. As an owner of a Thailand built Ford Focus, it's easily the best built car I've ever driven, and I've driven a *lot* of cars (part of my job ;-)
this self parking is useless tbh. everyone can park a little car in a huge parking space. seriously look at the space. you can almost park 2 of these cars there. they should be able to park to little parking spots where it gets tricky but they dont even recognize them. nice thing to have but needs improvement.
37MPG (the conversation I inputted anyway)on a NEW diesel car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is RIDICULOUS especially a diesel!! I expect 50+MPG not 37 MPG, for the non motorist it means a LOT an AWFUL lot!!
OMG! Come on guys! Renault sells its cars with speed limiter since cca. 1998 (Megane I.). It's 2013 now! Wake up! Self parking to a place that is twice as big as the car??? Adaptive cruise control? Once it doesn't work, how do you explain it to the police guys, that you trusted ACC a bit too much??? :)))
I love my 2013 Ford Focus 1.6 tdci too. You know what i complain about? Just the assemblage of plastics in the cabin is not perfect and so they creak on uneven tarmac or because of vibrations of diesel engin on the chassis.

I own a ruby red Ford Focus Titanium and I love it, everything about it is beautiful, and good with gas.

Nice camera angles mate. How did you get some of those angles
I've only ever seen the Auto-park work in a space that a bus could fit into.... what about a tight space? what would it do then?
This is gonna be my first car! A lot of money for a college guy, but I honestly think this beautiful machine is worth the bank loan

It is so much more fun to drive manually because your ALWAYS able to shift when YOU want to :)
Is the parking feature on the UK models of the titanium Nav.?
in croatia titanium has on 4:31 smaller display how ?

Jeff, this vehicle is designed in Germany. Built in plants around the world. Australian units are from Rayong, Thailand.

ford focus perfect car..!!
What's the full model of your car?

I am from the UK and want a 2015 Focus titanium with sat nav;...Should I get one??
hi Eric,I was wondering if you get one as I am facing the same question....
troecurov3 I haven't yet but will let you know if I do.
ive just got one , love it but the touchscreen has failed after 1 week :(
ron b Oh dear, that's not good!!
And NSW at that by the look of the train and the dealer in the background at various points.

After all this car is designed to make your life as easy as possible

... too bad sales in Colombia stoped : all production from Mexico is shipped to the United States ...
How come mine it's not fuel economy.....

Mazda 2 boot = 250liters Focus = 363liters.
How does the mazda 2 have a bigger boot ?!?!
I`ve only driven a manual. Next car an Auto see how I get on
In Italiano no??
It's your choice. It may take longer but your eyes are on the road all the time.
This is not a UK registered car; the entire thing is based in Australia and tested by an Australian - and very well too in my opinion!
Doesn't really matter where it's made, it was designed in Europe.
That's nice.
its a shame because the car actually looks a lot better then the competition
And your point is....
Which word(s) in my comment is/are not true? :)
I'm not too critical... I'm just honest! Feel the difference? :)
7.7 LITRES!
Won't the car accelerate for you
GREAT CAR. MY ORDER HOPEFULLY ARIVES NEXT WEEK IN GODS WILL =) AMEN
I propose de- and rematerializing car doors as th next step.
Come on mom and dad pu the credit car down and say i want that one
Buying a diesel hatchback doesn't make sense to me
Voir mes voyants
There is no affordable automatic parking for a 2013 car unless you want to pay £6k in 2021 for a 2013 car that has one.

worrst gear box in the world my focus has been back to ford twice this year for gearbox problems! my car is only 18months old
Mine is four years old and is fantastic.
Get a manual gearbox then😜
its an american not a european
WHY make a video and send all sound and dialogue out one speaker. This was frustrating to watch.

Please don't insult our Aussie friends. What are you BTW?
He's Aussie, not English.
ford Found on Road Dead
Fix It Again Tony
You are pretty critical aren't you. Go test drive one and then speak. Some people...
I love my 2012 focus SEL it is absolutely a great car. Great job Ford too bad you can't buy the 2019 in the USA because of Trump.
I love my 2013 Ford Focus 1.6 tdci too. You know what i complain about? Just the assemblage of plastics in the cabin is not perfect and so they creak on uneven tarmac or because of vibrations of diesel engin on the chassis.
Ford actually discontinued the Focus in 2018, worldwide
these are suck cars
Have you ever owned one?
Eric George basic bitch
Lyndon Shallow badge snob.
Eric George hahaha. ford is a badge. bitch
