If you buy a Focus, I would like to remind you a few things:

1. If you buy a manual transmission, pay attention to the coordination of the accelerator and clutch when starting, otherwise it will easily stall. , you won’t be able to do it after you become familiar with the performance of the car. Because the Focus' engine speed reaches 1200 rpm, it will start stably in the first gear. Unlike some cars that can start steadily at 800 rpm, this is mainly due to the lack of low-end torque of the Focus. Of course, the Focus will not stall even if you slow down the clutch at 800 rpm. This will basically not be affected once you get used to it later.

2. Focus has precise steering and comfortable control, making it very comfortable for the driver to drive. But its interior is simple. Compared with Japanese cars that pay attention to interiors, Focus is really far behind.

3. The fuel consumption is a little higher than similar cars, and the manual transmission is better. From 1.8 to 2.0, the fuel consumption of Focus will be higher than that of Japanese cars. This is related to the weight of the Focus. After all, when you remove the front and rear bumpers of the Focus, the anti-collision steel beams are immediately displayed in front of you. This is the most effective equipment to increase the safety of your car. Japanese cars are fuel-efficient because they are light. Why are they light? You should have thought of this even if I don’t tell you.

4. Maintenance costs. The maintenance cost of Focus is higher than that of domestic cars. If you go to a 4S store, the price will definitely be high. For example, for a door, it costs 300 to go to a 4S store for painting. If it is plastic surgery and painting, it costs 500. This is still discounted by labor. As for painting, they always require it to be fully sprayed to avoid color difference. There are also some parts that are 30% more expensive than online and 10-20% more expensive than car beauty shops or repair shops, but 4S stores are more reassuring in comparison. Note: Excluding some unscrupulous 4S stores in some places. I am in Shanghai, and several Ford 4S stores in Shanghai are good. Although the prices are a bit higher, they are still acceptable. Generally speaking, if your car drives well, other than normal maintenance, the maintenance cost will not be very high.

Finally, I would like to give you some advice. If you are considering buying a Focus, if you want to save fuel, buy the 1.8. If you want power, buy the 2.0. If you want driving pleasure, buy the MT. If you want comfort and simplicity, buy the AT.
