👯 2013 Ford Focus Reliability Reddit

AnonymousA., FL (2018 Ford Focus SE 1.0-L 3 Cyl turbo) Engine Major Engine rebuild or replacement, cylinder head, head gasket, turbocharger or supercharger, timing chain or belt. Lowspeed precognition. Basically something (oil droplets, carbon deposits) ignites the fuel during the intake stroke which can cause catastrophic damage. This happens during high-load, low-engine speed situations. If you avoid going wide open throttle below 3k RPMs and use high quality synthetic oils, you'll be fine. Ibought a used 2018 Ford Focus Titanium that had 37k km (23k miles) on it and the transmission/clutch ended up crapping out just before the 100k km (62k miles) power train warranty expired. I think it gave out at around 98k km (61k miles). Themain issue you'll face is the PTU blowing up. Ford doesn't specify a service interval, and makes it extremely annoying to change the fluid in them. With the kind of driving you do in the SHO, you'll burn it up quick without regular 50K mile fluid changes. Otherwise the Turbo 3.5 is actually pretty stout. TheFord Focus ST has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 252 hp and 270 lb-ft linked exclusively to a 6-speed manual. With that, the Focus ST goes 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds, Car and Driver reports. And for a little extra, Mountune’s factory-warranty-backed tuning kit can bump the output to 275 hp and 296 lb-ft on 93-octane StockSTs don't have issues with the engines with a good oil change schedule and spark plug changes. It's a DI/turbo engine. It's going to be harder on spark plugs ($30/20k miles) and oil ($30/3k miles). Neither of these things are hard to do or expensive. Thatbeing said, compared to the competition, the 2013 Ford Focus suffers from a poor reliability rating, plenty of transmission problems, and clunky controls. Ihave been offered a 2014 Ford Focus SE (Hatchback) for $7,000. It's been driven ~100,000 miles (mostly highways), and has new battery, clutch, and tires. The oil change has been synthetic only at every 8-9k miles. My only concern is maintenance costs, because the car feels and looks brand new! Ifyou don't know how to drive a stick, get the Focus and learn on it. With a stick, it's one of the most fun cars in its class: great handling and a decent transmission (coulda used a six-speed). It also sports a very forgiving clutch, both on uptake and reliability - I'm at 113k miles on the original clutch in my car, and no signs of fading. 2012 is the complete redesign. The DCT has its issues but not every car had a bad DCT, many of us had no issues. It made the Car&Driver 10-best in 2012 & 2013. If its not clunky/noisy while driving it will most likely be perfectly fine. clunky at low speed. Ford extended he warranty to 100K miles on the DCT. Thereliability is still to be seen in the Focus, but so far so good. Reply Spidertech500 • 2013 Ford Focus St "Nova" Reddit . reReddit: Top posts of April 3, 2016. Reddit . Ilove my focus, it has been a great car. That being said, the auto transmission severely decreases the reliability of the car. If it is a manual transmission then you're good. As for size, it is definitely on the small side; especially if you carry any rear seat passengers. 4. .
