Hi guys,
I subscribe to a Norwegian car magazine, sent down under every month. This month they tested Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost, and it got much better reviews than a Hyundai 1.6 with 120 Hp. According to the test, the Focus 3-cylinder was the most impressive eco-car tested in a long time, quite effortlessly moved along the traffic. In comparison the Hyundai with 1.6-litre had to be punished to keep up.. Anyway, I doubt the Focus 1.0 will be offered here in Australia any time soon, or has anyone heard any plans? By the way, Wikipedia article on Ecoboost states that Focus ST will get Ecoboost 2-litre in 2013. That will probably be a very nice drive, at a lot better fuel economy than the current 5-cylinder ST / XR5. Cheers |
