The Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi Powershift has two drawbacks. First, it gives benefits slightly slower than the equivalent version with manual shift and its consumption is somewhat higher (although the difference is not final). Second, is missing that, without intervention by the driver, had more power to give retention in certain circumstances.

Of the Diesel, the 2.0 TDCi 136 bhp is more than 1.6 TDCI 109 hp if we take into account both the supply and consumption, and is the only one who can bring change gears' Powershift '. Curiously, the 1.6 liter diesel not has given us such a good impression on the Ford Focus and other cars you can have (in particular in the Mazda3).

The Ford Focus familiar with the bodywork ("Sportbreak") has more headroom to the roof in the rear seats, plus a trunk very practical and comfortable to carry, but with one flaw: there are no bindings planned to place a network behind the front seats and rings for securing the load on the floor are inaccessible.

The headlamps are standard halogen bulb and, optionally, can be double-xenon. The lighting series is sufficient, because the beam is usually long and wide. What is wrong is right in front of Ford Focus is a dark area, which can be annoying in a very narrow road of hairpin bends.

With any of the optional headlights, the taillights are LEDs, instead of bulbs. To distribute the light of these pilots Ford has used optical fiber. There is also a device that activates the emergency lights in case of a very intense braking (deceleration larger than 6 m / s ²). Some versions of the Ford Focus can bring a system boot button placed next to the gear lever. Also available are a keyless entry system.
