Matey. Damo does a few kms through biggish hills to work and uses his 6 speed manual box in his LV diesel Focus. I do (in my LT diesel Focus)130km a day highway up to 125km/hr and ditto use the 6 gears and don't have the engine revving its tits off at that speed. Prior I had a 1.6 Fiesta with a 5 speed which revved its tits off doing this job. Unless Ford put a decent engine and a 6 speed manual in the Focus I,ll be buying another make next year to replace the Lt and yes it will have a 6 speed manual box. Incidentally all 3 cars in our house are Fords, 2008 Focus, 2012 Fiesta DCT, and a 2007 4 speed auto Fiesta. Damo has 2 Fords , I have 3 -we want to buy Ford but if ford is too cheap and lazy to spec the car right I,ll go elsewhere. |
