Scotty,
I know you're not a fan of the Ford Focus. But a local dealership has a 2017 SE with a 1.0L I3 GTDi DOHC Turbocharged VCT with 30,000 miles. My questions are:
1.) What is a VCT (transmission)
2.) How far should I run away from it?
Thank...love your channel

VCT is Ford's variable valve timing system. That tiny turbocharged 3 cylinder engine will probably be worn out by the time it hits 50K-60K miles. I'd run away screaming.
I would definitely pass on that. Ford’s Ecoboost engines are usually to be avoided if you plan to keep the vehicle long term, but that one is especially under a lot of strain. You are asking a lot from a 1.0L 3 cylinder engine under forced induction (with thousands of psi of pressure from the GDI system).
At this point in time, stay away from any engine that is ecoboost and turbocharge, and any engine that is made to protect the environment as a priority.
Don't even consider it.
