This battle is insane! Both cars are fitted with 1.5 litre petrol turbocharged engine and both cars are extremely funny to drive for daily usage. But which is faster? #Autobahn #Acceleration #Speed
the focus has the fuel tank empty: the indicator in on the ZERO and the fuel reserve warning light in on. the test is not with the same conditions. also in the first video of the Civic seams raining.
@@jorgereyes2899 Ford driver: pulls up alongside a parked Ferrari. "come on now, concentrate" sticks it in 1st, give it some revs, launches it. ....looks in the mirror "aaahahahaha, I beat a Ferrari" because...'Ford people's always win' 😂😂
Focus had to switch gears shortly before hitting 200, so its acceleration drops immediately after, whereas the Civic doesn't change gears and keeps accelerating steadily.
BS ... the real world figures of the factory models are showing that the Civic has quite a huge advantage ! This is nonsense and probably the Focus is remaped !
it's something wrong with this test. i have got focus 1.5 mk3 and acceleration in real is worse than in honda civic. when i tested on dragy i saw: focus 8,5s, and honda 7,9s!!! After modification to 200 HP and 340Nm i also has got 8,5s :) of course, flexibility has increased in higher gears, just focus does not transfer it to asphalt on the first gear (there is a blockade with cutting performance in first and second gear)
yeah but we can see rain and wipers on when u test the Civic, the Focus is on dry also on this video from you "ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iTVbfPYyhpg.html" we can see the wet surface while u test the Civic - not a fair test
I have the same Ford Focus from the video: 1.5 ecoboost, with filter and remap it has 190 horsepower, great car! as you can see the original has the same pretensions as the civic which has 30 more horses ..
@@raduandreibuzoianu4211 OK, my post sounded a bit harsh but " learn more about engines " ? A little more specific please 🤦♂️Excessive Carbon Buildup on Intake Valves of Ecoboost Engines is a well-known problem. Let me guess. You drive a Ford !?
@@smackm The part with a "your ecoboost is goner in 3 years" mate. No, the engines are not that unreliable and they actually work quite good giving the circumstances (technology and emission regulations). I had ford, great cars for the price. I drive a bmw now.
Both are bad engines. Source: I own a 1.5 Ecoboost and I've driven a 1.5 Civic. The Ecoboost is unreliable (head float, head gasket, warped engine blocks) and it needs a remap just to be driveable. The Civic is rev hang galore and comes with oil dilution as a feature. Just don't buy either one.
The oil dilution problem is quite uncommon actually. It might be specific to a certain batch of cars. It's a very, very reliable engine overall. As for the Ford... I don't really know so I can't say I recommend it or not. Mostly I read bad stuff happening to it.
The 2.0 and 1.5 ecoboosts are crap the Honda 1.5 is an awesome bit of kit. My St 250 shredded cylinder 1 at 20k. Ford even admitted fault but refused to do a single thing except make me pay for a new engine.
