Ford Philippines introduces the Focus 1.6 M/T

Typo yan... 114 ft-lbs lang ang torque ng 1.6. You can't get more than 120 ft-lbs of torque out of a 1.6 petrol engine without a turbo.

But it's still a relatively nice car. Hope they don't handicap it with a high price tag.

typo ba yun?

akala ko yun talaga ang advantage ng TI-VCT pioneered engine ng Ford.

ot: niky, no prob

let's just hope the price will be as competitive as other brand base models... hope may dagdag na pix kasi parang kamukha niya ang focus dito sa us...

hindi nag share ang mazda & ford sa engine. mzr yung mazda and duratec yung ford. AFAIK - mas bago ang duratec and rehashed na lang yung mzr.

the US market still has the old USDM-spec Focus.

while yung andito ay yung Euro-spec (lucky us).

**zechs** · December 7th, 2005 12:33 AM

**an0nim0us** · December 7th, 2005 10:10 AM

Sana OK yung price nya = )

Let's hope. If the 1.6 can maintain near-Euro-spec fuel mileage here in the Philippines, it would be a decent alternative to buying an Altis or a Civic.
