2016 Ford Focus SE (5MT) - WR TV POV Test Drive

[@ilovecats748]

I really like watching these videos when they're of manual normal cars. Almost more than the manual performance car videos.

[@SadethCheng]

Yeah, economy cars with manual transmissions are pretty rare in the US.

[@Trades46]

Had this as a rental (but with the 6spd powershift DCT) in San Francisco for about a week. It was actually pretty damn good; it swallowed up luggage & 4 adults comfortably; power was ample in the steep grades of SF (also the hill hold feature really works wonders here). The steering was tight and the 2.0 was economical and powerful to keep up at interstate speeds. A car I can seriously consider taking a closer look at, especially the ST and the upcoming RS model. Ford has made a very nice little car here.

[@andreshojman]

Awesome way to test a car - from POV perspective! It's like to being there! 10 Points!

I love the engine sound. Seems very smooth

[@garrettm7993]

Plus, the engine is very smooth, peppy and sounds excellent. I test drive several 4 cylinder compact sedans and the focus has the best engine regards to power, sound, and smoothness.

[@Kiefel95]

Love that manual! Even makes it 10 times more exiting to watch. Would hands down grab mine in the manual also!

[@RomanJedud]

Sounds like Duratec I guess 2.0 I got 1.0 EcoBoost (125hp 6MT) and I am very impressed with performance and especially with the sound.

[@thatcarguysam3816]

Something so satisfying about that turn signal sound. Must be from rental car abuse I have done.

I own the 2012 Hatch with the 5 speed manual. It's by far my favorite car. It's smooth and has plenty of passing power. Surprisingly quick for it's class. Also, it's very comfortable. Taken it on a 1600 mile drive. Went great

I leased a 2012 when they were still pretty new. Huge mistake. Only because I got the dual clutch transmission though. The rest of the car was amazing. Very peppy engine, good handling, amazing fuel economy. If I could go back in time I would have got the 5-speed.

[@colj001]

+OnTheRocks yea the focus manual boxes are awesome, they even have a synchronized reverse gear so you can put it in reverse while rolling forward.

[@crispybacon420]

+OnTheRocks I have a 2012 with the 5 speed, and I regret it. This car desperately needs a 6th gear. Cruising on the highway usually has it revving around 3000rpm.

[@boggy7665]

+fundirector_ Since 1989 I've owned two cars from new, different brands though, small Japanese 4-cyl sedans w/ 5 speeds. Both revved about 3000 when going 65. The 1989 car was passed on to a friend & then another, went over 300,000 miles w/o a rebuild last I heard. The one I'm driving now, 170,000 miles and still runs like new. Might get a few more MPGs with a taller gear, but drivetrain service life wasn't an issue, outlasting the bodies in both cases.

Otherwise, smooth ride, great handling, good acceleration. I have no complaints at all. Good for the money. Haven't experienced any transmission worries at all actually. Hums quietly right along. My only complaint is the audio system. They skempt on the bass. Otherwise, I adore my Focus.

Winding Road Magazine What was the cars mpg? Contrary to a lot of American fools who told me take Corolla,Civic,Sentra, I drove a Ford Focus 2014 5 speed manual and my verdict is, not just good, its brilliant, unbelievably good, I bet as good as new Mazda 3, I got an average of 34 mpg combined and on highway cruise at 55-60 mph I got like 42-44 mpgs at times, Also the car rides handles light years better than shitty Toyotas,Hondas,Nissans and seemed the quietest of the lot in terms of wind,road,tire noise insulation as well It had awesome sounding music system, best AC,pin sharp handling as well I found just 1 con to the Focus, thats back seat legroom is too low , even still its got enough to pack 4 of 5.5-5.6 feet tall people, I dont understand why a lot of people detest Focus, sure the DCT had some issues but even still the car is a gem, pity on Americans detesting such awesome domestics,

[@sic22l]

+Ponygt 662 It's not exactly domestic... Current Focus was designed in Europe, by Europeans and for Europeans. Ford did some adjustments o fit more tastes around the world so it's not as good as the Mk2 EU Focus but it's still nice.

[@ponygt6629]

sic22l Whatever its made in USA as of now, also the 2.0 Duratec with Powershift AT was mated and designed in US, so is the MyFord Touch, so is the Mk3 Focuses BLIS etc

[@sic22l]

Ponygt 662 Powershift dual cltch gearbox was designed in Europe, in a joint-venture with Getrag in order to compete with VW's DSG. The engine was designed by Mazda. Current focus is domestic because it's assembled in the US. It's as american as VW Passat.

[@ponygt6629]

sic22l No way, The Powershift tech had 2 unites the wet clutch unit and dry clutch unit, the wet clutch unites are designed and tested in Europe, all dry clutch units are done by Getrag USA, Getrag is a big company, true its stationed at Europe but its US division is responsible for the DCT on Focus of USA The DCT on TDCi are wet clutch units they were R&D and tuned in Europe About Duratec, the long gone series of Mazda L series engines, how pathetic man, Mazdas old block was adopted by Ford, but the new TiVCT Duratec for Focus is developed by Ford, USA, dont think Americans are dump like they used to be, they are sleeping giants, poke them they bite hard The 2.0 Duratec is also used in Ginetta cars, but thats in the 200 HP tune, thats completely developed by Ford Europe-Ginetta partnership, the 160/170 HP Focus tune is an American made tune

[@leepietzsch]

+Gregory Kanniard i actually wish they had put in a six speed, or at least an option for the mk3 model i.e. 2013 focus se, reason being, if you modify it like i have, your rpms will be over 3 grand while doing 75 on the highway, i still make 30mpg combined, but if i had a 6 speed i should in theory make 36+ mpg. if you are wondering what modifications i have done to my car for the rpms to be so high at that speed while in the tallest gear, they are as follows; roush cat-back exhaust system paired with a roush CAI, a rebel devil 91 octane tune, throttle body and manifold spacer, and a new intake inlet tube (took out the factory and put in an aftermarket polyurethane one because it was less restrictive on airflow). i plan on putting in either a custom header with high flow cats, buying a larger diameter header from rebel devil customs, and or just buying a catless header from obx.

***** I daily drive a facelift MK1 Focus. 5MT too. In my country you can do 130 km/h (82 mp/h) on the highway, but people usually do 140, because the cops only stop you at 110% of the allowed speed, 143 in this case. It does 3500 RPM. And it's loud. But at least it pulls nicely without dropping a gear.

[@ast5515]

***** No. But I admit it's not the best maintained car ever. The IAC valve is all clogged up (will clean it, because the car stalls if I hit the clutch and let it drop to idle), something in the rear right suspension is worn out and causes a weird noise, ignition below 2000 RPM is spotty at best. By that I mean you want to do a hill start and you hit the throttle hard, it sounds like it's gonna stall and then when it finally gets the ignition right, the wheels spin. So yeah. Maybe it could be quieter, I don't know.

[@1flynlow]

+ast5515 they all will. it depends how fast you want to go on the highway

[@ast5515]

1flynlow Legal highway speed is 130 km/h (80 mph) here. Most 6 speed cars are at around 2800 at that speed. Some diesels are even below 2500.

[@1flynlow]

a 5 speed is much cheaper to make. it's still a great bargain and it's still rated for 36 mpg highway so it must not hurt it to turn those rpms anyway.

[@twagn]

Bound to be better than the 6spd power crap auto. Fords powershift auto on the Fiesta and Focus are the biggest POS they've ever created

[@kemalt.6707]

5 speed ? Too ancient

[@NoName-tz5ji]

Kemal T. You misspelt reliable and versatile. These new pos 6speed manuals can’t be flat towed without damaging the fragile wannabe trans. And it only nets 1-2 mpg extra on the highway but your constantly down shifting on hills because it’s a square bore high revving engine. It needs rpms as its peak torque is4500 rpm.

[@remissiveslave]

The 5 speed on this is fine, 210000 miles of experience.

[@alextriotton]

​@@remissiveslave Same. I drive a 1998 Ford Focus with 5 speed manual, and that is enough. Well, if you know how to drive a manually you can get high speeds at low revolutions.

[@remissiveslave]

@@alextriotton first off, this car isn't meant to be a performer anyway and under normal driving speeds, particularly around town, you never need low-end for these. If you need to do any highway speed, like you said, knowing how to shift properly can make its lacking low end grunt pretty inconsequential. I got a 14 in 2014 and just traded it for a wrx, and it had 222000 miles on it, did replace transmission at i think 218000, but because I'm pretty sure when the car was serviced, they overlooked a leaking half shaft and I drove a long while without transmission fluid. Engine ran fine, went through maybe 1/3 a quart of oil every 3500 miles, cooling system was fine, and hit two deers, beat the snot out of the car for much of its mileage, and besides the power steering which waa about 1100 for full replacement, only thing that really gave me trouble, besides general wear and tear from our evidential extorted money quality road maintence.

Likewise with Mercedes. The Mazda 3 is a great car, but uses more plastics then the Focus Titanium. The Mazda and the Focus are the best compacts I've ever driven. I would buy a Mazda, but for me the Focus felt right at home. Plus, once my car is paid off I could trade in for a Mazda and try owning one myself.
