Focus Ambiente 92kW performance

The 92 kW 1.6-litre engine is no fireball, it needs to be revved to get the best out of it, but if you're not in a hurry it's quite a pleasant engine in normal driving, even in hilly country. The dual-clutch transmission works quite well, although we have had one or two complaints about shuddering and miss shifting. If you're buying used thoroughly test-drive the car by putting it through as many different driving situations as possible in the hope of drawing out any issues the transmission might have. Overall, the Focus is quite reliable and should get a run from it.
