| Hey scotty. Love your work and honesty.I only have a question about Ford focus ST 2008 .I have it for 4 years now and it has 125000 miles on it, the only "problem" is that it has a high gas consumption like every Ford focus ST that why i'm thinking to sell it. No other problems at all.What do you think should i sell it or keep driving it daily and overlook the gas consumption. | |||||

| Answer to: Ford ZETEC engines opinions | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| "ZETEC", renamed to "ZETEC-SE", later renamed to "Duratec" and finally as "Duratec Ti-VCT" in it's final form is generally a good engine, but they do mostly have timing belts and the earliest Ti-VCT variants were troublesome. BUT, I would NOT recommend an MK1 focus with so many miles. I'd recommend a manual 3rd generation focus with a Duratec-HE (a different engine, they were derived from Mazda's design) as the oldest small Ford that's still reasonably reliable. (EDIT: IF AVAILABLE, I'M UNSURE IF IT WAS SOLD IN THE US) | |||||
| Should I replace my Cadillac 2012 CTS4 transfer case? | 12Relevance | 5 months ago | robbhamina | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 9:57 AM You sent My Cadillac 2012 CTS4 hops a bit when I turn all the way to the left in a parking lot. The local Cadi shop said I need a transfer case. I had the speed ring on the front right and the reluctor rings on the back done so I figured it just needed the L/F speed ring. I moved to Colorado so I took it to the NAPA shop nearby in Avon. They say replace the transfer case. Do you think I have to replace the transfer case? | |||||
| Answer to: Bought a 2016 Ford Fiesta SE (Automatic) for 6500$ total. Terrible decision? | 12Relevance | 7 months ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... are scumbags about it.... "... investigations conducted after the focus and Fiesta models were succeeded, has revealed that Ford engineers and executives were aware of the problems before and after the release of it, with developmental engineers even stating in company e-mails that there was "no driveable calibration" of the transmission, and with pre-production test engineers having to pull over out of traffic due to the transmission shifting into neutral ... Ford has repeatedly denied systemic problems even to their own dealerships, instead dire ... | |||||
| Answer to: What can I get for this car? | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | AutoDIY | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| By all means take advantage of their mistake. Try to capitalize on it. Let them know that you are aware they are harder to sell, etc. The dealership will want you to focus on the monthly payment, I would not do that. Try to focus on the price of the car itself, that way you can see what you are actually paying for. Try not to pay any dealer add on fees, and watch out for the finance manager (or as I like to call them the number 1 dealership crook) Unfortunately though, in this market you are negotiating from a weak position. | |||||
| Answer to: Subaru Forester or Bronco Sport | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Ford Bronco SPORT is built on the Ford C2 platform which is the SAME platform as the Ford focus. (The Ford BRONCO not sport is a completely different car.) With the Bronco Sport, it is basically a glorified Ford Escape or super glorified Ford focus. Long term quality aside, IMHO, younger more for your money with the Forester than the Bronco Sport Taking into account long term quality, the Forester probably has the Bronco Sport beat. | |||||
| Answer to: Used car buying advice | 12Relevance | 1 year ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Actually that sounds like a lot of money for a 19-year-old focus. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age and would need to be verified. You can expect rubber parts to be deteriorating and of course there could be any number of mechanical problems. Those cars are known to develop electrical, engine, and transmission problems. How do you know it has no accidents? Most dealerships that would sell a car that old are bottom-feeding used car dealers. They probably paid $1500 for it at auction and don't know anything about its history, just shined it up a ... | |||||
| Answer to: daily driver swap | 12Relevance | 2 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| This is one of those things where the particular transmission you have goes a long way in terms of being helpful. Does it have a standard transmission where you push a clutch in yourself, one of those Powershift DCTs, or a conventional automatic? I'm not too familiar with focuses, so I took what I could from Wikipedia. If it's a PowerShift DCT, I would sell it and get a manual focus RS. Ford's engineers knew they were putting out crap PowerShift DCTs, and they didn't care. That's probably partly why they don't make them anymore. | |||||

| ... and costing a fortune to maintain. Although you bought it for $850, It may have some life left in it - it can be an inserting case study on how Nissan differed from Renault in the early 2000s (perhaps Mexican quality could have been better than Spanish) 07 Ford focus What kind? If it was the C307 make on the Ford-Volvo C1 / P1 platform then it was a HUGE mistake! Those were solid cars. If it was an MK1 or a North American spec focus, then ya haven't changed anything both are kinda crappy. C307: | |||||

| Answer to: Honda Weakness | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Honda started life as a motorcycle company. And came to the American market with compact and subcompact cars. And fuel efficient (for the time) and emissions compliant cars to say the least. They focus on reliability and efficiency. When they were developing the NSX vs a Ferrari V8, they decided to see how much power and efficiency they can get out of a V6, all while going toe to toe with the Ferrari V8. I believe the NSX is also RWD. But it is true they focus mainly on FWD, as IMHO, it’s their target market. | |||||
| RE: Toyota Saved My Life! | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yep I agree. Also, autonomous braking comes equipped on almost all new vehicles. Even my 2014 Ford focus has a front collision avoidance system (It’s mandated where I live and quite honesty It’s a great thing to have. The one in my focus even displays the distance to the car in front in seconds and reads speed limit signs… over the years it has prevented quite a few accidents) | |||||
