2017 Ford Focus 1.5 Ecoboost Turbo Full In Depth Review | Bobby Ang 

Watching this in 2021. Love the review Bobby! Really helped me with my decision to buy this car used

dear bobby, jam packed ford focus quality review... great!

Great video, man. very comprehensive!

Bought a 6sp Auto 2017 in Winning Blue with upgrades - Sunroof and Bi Xenon lights - love it!!

you can actually fold the back seat lower if you lift the bottom part first. I think you didn't realize it

Hi bobby, I would much appreciate if you include the comparison between variants and price respectively. Btw, love your down to earth reviews!

Dear Bobby, does the torque converter lock-up in every gear or does it lock up in high gears only? I prefer that it locks up immediately once the car is moving so that there is less power loss.

I am driving the pre-facelift. The rear seat bench can be pulled forward and with the rear seats down, its totally flat. Can you confirm if that's the case with the facelifted one?

How you compare it to the VW Golf TSI 1.4?

How's the auto transmission? Which manufacturer makes it? Any issues?

Hey Bobby Ford focus and Peugeot 308 THP which one you'll choose?

If you pull up on the back of the rear seat bottoms they will fold forward and the backrest folds flat

Which version of your Ford Sync for it has carplay? My Focus same as this model doesnt have carplay

Hye bobby... if mazda3 (gvc), civic 1.5tcp & focus hatch..which 1 will u take?

which should I go for ? jazz or focus which is better?

Hi Bobby. Great review. Almost perfectly accurate. I've got the S+ version of this for a month and I'm very satisfied. Your review even provided more new info and assured me further this was a good buy. thank you.

Im wondering if i want to buy ford focus or honda jazz for my new car and im new to driving as well.. What will u suggest me pls.. Thnks

I just bought the 2018 one before the newer model. I’m so excited!

Hey bobby, please do a 208 gti and fiesta st review video!

Does this new Focus comes with a sunroof?

been driving this facelift model since last 8 months, everything is good. too bad they are not carry this hatchback in malaysia already.

hi bobby. can you please do review on ford ecosport too? really appreciate review from you. thanks

Hi bobby, if Ford focus Ecoboost and 308 thp ,both 2017 used, which one better handling and reliable?

❤the rev as much as the review

Hi Bobby, putting aside other aspects of the car, what would you choose in terms of the driving dynamics, power,brakes and driving flow, Civic 1.5 Turbo or this? Personally it's tough for me to decide, I personally think Civic is way more handsome, but that slightly better power output and handling from the Ford on the other hand seems tempting. Hopefully I'll be able to decide haha

Is the 1.5 ecoboost sold in the USA??

Bro i like your videos.Can u test drive Toyota Altis facelift and Camry hybrid?

In terms of performance....this car or the civic 1.5 turbo?

To hit the limit of the meter 240km/hr is not an issue w reasonable fast acceleration.

Hey bobby, how long do i need to " break in " my new mazda 2? Great video as always , was looking forward to the focus review ! Keep it up :)

i'm surprised you didn't mention the AEB technology in the car. also the blind spot. and the cross traffic in my volvo did tell me from left or right the car is coming, im sure this ford can tell by blinking the blind spot on either side.

Is that sync 3 ?

Boby nnt review ford kuga boleh?

Wondering about Ford owners. How did they take care of it for years?

Dear Boddy, nice video is done here. It's very informative. If I may, could I have a request from you, which I hope that you would be kind and generous by giving us a tutorial or an explanation on how to drive cars with dsg/ dual clutches transmission to avoid headache. These cars are good to drive but painful to own. Looking forward to it. Thanks!

ive got the 2017 trend 1.5t. ive had it for a bit over a year. im yet to find anything real to complain about. few tiny complaints such as coin storage for convenience is non existent. unless youve got baby sized hands, but its a minor inconvenience. the power is like he said, feels much like a bigger aspirated engine rather than small turbo charged, and that feels great. i assume all manufacturers bs about economy stats and ford arent innocent here either. even driving for total economy, i cant get near the econ stated by ford in the specs. but its not a guzzler either, id call it an average economy in its class. for a 1.5, youd expect better econ, but the power and drive is worth the little extra fuel. still good tho, just not what is claimed by ford. this car does handle very well and i would not hesitate to hit curves a bit harder than say a corolla, but this diminishes dramatically if you carry an extra passenger, but just the driver in the car gives a near race feel (the term race feel is not like a true sport car, rather its a comparison to other hatchbacks in its class. but yes, its more fun without anyone else in the car.) my seats in the back however do fold flat unlike the ones in this vid, but only when i roll the actual seat up, then the backrest down, and its quite a roomy boot area then and this is great for me as my back seats are never used so i keep it in fold down position all the time and the room is similar then to a medium sized station wagon in terms of luggage room. and i like the car overall and the price comparison in australia is great. i test drove a lot of hatches before deciding on the ford, it outperformed the toyota, suburu, mitsubishi, and hyundai in terms of cost verse performance. its the most fun out of all these. others had better coin storage, boot space and stuff, but i chose the ford due to performance rather than cabin convenience. like i said, i cant complain about all that as i knew this when i bought it, and was buying a driving car over buying a perfect interior car. ive gone on very long drives on speed limitless highways, and its a drivers car, not a family hatch. its designed to be driven and not lived in. lol. but like all turbos, at a certain constant speed/rev range, it chews more fuel than a v8, but at 180kph, its a lot of fun and still very nimble. even if the fuel more than doubled. ie. at 180, you get no more than 300kilometers on a tank,,,,,,,same drive at 100kph youll get 650...700k's from a tank. and even better still, at constant 90kph, you mite get over 700 k's a tank. its one of the better cars for night driving in relation to dash position and illumination on the dash and screens. functional but retains its sporty look and feel at night. only downside here is that ford charges more for the service than other cars. its on the high end of service cost. but again i was aware of the cost before buying it. but its still a shame they cant charge similar to toyota and hyundai service costs. would i recommend it? ONLY to men who are single and dont carry passengers, but still want a sport feel with out sport car cost. if you have a partner and kids and you need a car to shop or kids school runs etc, go the corolla. if your a guy who is going to drive lots on your own then this is the better choice in my opinion. its not at all slow. just the opposite. its a little rocket if you drive it right.

Bless you.

Bobby,can you review the Isuzu D-max 2016?Because I like the design of the truck

Owned a Fiesta MK7 with dry DCT...nice car, handles very well but really headache with the clutch problems...This new focus with 6speed torque converter is indeed a great move by Ford Anyway, great info and videos Mr Bobby! u got my support! :) p/s: please do get a new gimbal n few in car cams for a nicer video in future...hihi :D

Can you review the new facelifted Jetta? Not much reviewer reviewed Jetta

I drive a 2016 ford focus trend 1.5 turbo automatic base model and the car is fucking brilliant with the new transmission and sync 3 sat-nav-it really feels like a six cylinder on the road I could not be happier.The sport model and titanium have a few extras but basically they are the same car all 132 kw but differ greatly in price.

dude that bag on the passenger seat. u bought from the kickstarter? how much? is it mass produced yet? sorry for the non related question haha.

Ford resolved the dry dual clutch transmission issue of the mk3 by replacing it with a conventional 6 speed torque converter but introduced a more serious problem with the Ecoboost engine. I was informed about overheating issues of the problematic engine by an experienced mechanic who specialises in Ford vehicles as some owners sent their mk3.5 to him for repairs.

What is your height? so I can know if the rear seat can fix me.

Hey man, saw ur reviews on both this Ford Focus 1.5 and Honda Civic 1.5T, which one you would recommend? What are your views on the handling/speed/ better for car enthusiast! Would appreciate your reply as I'm choosing between this two :)

Hi Bobby, I'm planning to get a car this year. Been thinking between civic 1.5tc or Ford focus base spec. Any advice on which to choose? Would really appreciate it. 😁

How does this car drives compare to Civic 1.5 turbo? How is the overall performance, handling and comfort of this car in comparison?

It feels weird to me with such a small engine. I feel the car struggles if I have too many people in it

Performance wise how it's feel compare to Jetta, Civic or Elantra?

Hi Bobby, nice review. Just want to point out. The lower spec won't get you the sports suspension. The difference is more than just the safety/autopark features. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the VW Golf in car tech is way less than the Focus. I don't think you have a touchscreen even.

hi bobby , wonder a BMW 118i vs ford focus which be a better car in terms of 1. space at rear passenger 2. driving experience

Mazda vs ford which one have better handling and drive ?

u give good reviews to cars but u need to get ur gimball done asap to let people continue to watch ur videos

one thing i can't understand is the pre-facelift model was equipped with projector bi-xenon headlights then this 2017 comes with reflector type halogen headlights. A step backward don't you think ?

hey bobby, since carplay and android auto is getting more popular in malaysia, how about doing a comparison ease of us, visibility, accessibility, google map vs apple map in malaysia, 3rd party app like map or spotify, etc

I own the 2015 trend spec. Been driving it for 6 years now. This model is so good, it has gone under the radar by many "expert" reviewers Pro: - powerful (the torque and speed is really good) - superb built quality (the doors are really heavy, the plastic is sturdy, sound dampening is really good) - radio and speaker quality is definitely built to last (Bluetooth connectivity is seamless for any phone) - handling is tight and precise for a heavy car - it's hard to describe, but u can definitely feel the conti built quality compared to similarly priced civics and corolla in Malaysia. - Uses wet clutch, so no issues with gears compared to earlier models. - the cars design is timeless, it won't look like an old modal so fast compared to japanese/local/Korean cars. - so many bodykits and exterior modification options like spoilers and rims as well. Cons: - a little more expensive to service but for good reasons. Oil change is a little more expensive because the car release quite a lot of heat from the engine bay, so use good engine oil. (Engine is powerful = more heat = use good engine oil). The battery can last you 2 years, so it's a little more expensive, but the value is the same as changing your batteries yearly. Uses timing chain which I think is cheaper to maintain. - slightly tight interior, so suitable for 4 adults and 1 child only. - no keyless entry - no reverse camera My only advise, a conti car is always going to be more expensive to maintain, but the cars will last longer. When you change gear, give it a millisecond before you press on the accelarator. Just a tip i got from an old uncle in order to look after your gears. Self parking and stuff is very subjective but I think it's a gimmick so it doesn't bother me. For 20k extra, I rather save it for years of maintenance fees. So I've been using this car for 6 years, and even my friends keep reminding me how good the car is till today

hello, how tall are you? that i get a comparsion because i am 193cm. tnx

Hire me to improve your video quality 😊 (not saying that it's bad now, just pointing out that there can still be more improvement)

Wow really like what you did with the e-mag one of a kind in terms of the interface and the design Also stunning car porn i should add lol

nice review

The engine sound is great

Ford - Good Built Quality But Careful With Gearbox & Engine

Civic 1.8 or Ford Focus 1.5?

Bobby, the 1.5 L Focus is not considered a hot hatch (the Focus ST is), the interior is outdated and can't keep up with the 2017 Mazda 3 and Honda Civic. Otherwise, thanks for your reviews. Keep it up.

Cant see these little engines going over 100k miles without major issues.

The problem with "new focus" is that the car is very very SMALL... internal space is small, with little legroom in the back seat, even the space for the driver is small, the trunk is ridiculously small in the sedan model and so on... Small, small, small... But bigger price.

It is a nice car. I own one 2016 focus 1.5T. Mod to 230hbp. Kinky car to play with.

ford focus or volkswagen jetta?

5:20..

probably is a good car.... but is rarely in Ipoh..... I only seen a Focus otr...

sad, as middle income malaysian we cannot enjoy ford/volvo level of technology. japanese brand are using this as excuse and not bringing us best of their technology. everybody wait for one brand to introduce better spec, then they follow.

I have no complaints your videos,it good information, I just complement your personality?,..I think you needed get dressed will? It looks that you're just workups from sleeping? Sorry bro?
