Ford Focus 1.5L EcoBoost Sport+ review - AutoBuzz.my 

Can you recommend the workshop please?

Zaman Osman but at least, it comes with apple carplay and android auto... so i guess its not gonna be that matter... just my opinion

Do you still have it? How is the reliability of it?

terima kasih!

thanks mate! i've done the Mazda3 sedan review. they are both practically the same car. but i prefer the hatchback more!

Fadhil Othman yea i heard of Fords are great cars to drive, how about owning one? Mind if you share some of your experience?

Well I had a Ford Fiesta and moved to Jazz Hybrid. Ford cars are just amazing , it is fun to drive and it is a driver's car - you can vroom and it is stable. Since I moved to Jazz Hybrid , meh the ride has been pretty bad. One issue that plagued me was with the DCT on Fiesta and also to wait for spare parts and others. I thought Ford Sime Darby service was bad , but then Honda (Malaysia) is umm well let's say worst . Great cars , but taking care of it after warranty period is a bit of pain tho :D

If i have a choice again. I would go for focus for sure I test drove the focus. Its way better than civic and other C segments

heck i owned the mk3 N/A focus and even that drives better than civic. but the aftersales service really sucks big time

Kenneth W i love most this f.focus is about stability n comfortablity espc long distance drivng.. n also its technolgy espc auto city stop(automtc brake system) n auto park assist... n not to forget sync 2 audio system.. really enjoy smart features in this car dude!

malaysia ada bela itu ricer cultural that y cant simply bring it here..

Base line also not selling well how to bring in RS

The ford focus is reliable. It uses conventional auto now

@@GreatGrandmasterWang starting from which year.. Because I m going to own a used 2016 model

Vijith Sreevalsam the facelifted model. The one in the video

Agree

New model no longer available here

So, buy Preve/Suprima S better.. Wait for new updated Preve/Suprima S.. Better Turbo than this Ford Ecoboost

You should insist on a loaner car. Just as I did when mine got 'warded' for a defective gear selector. Car was out for 2 months. I think the Sales manager of the branch also had a huge help in assisting me with the loaner car. I got a Hyundai i10 - rental by Hertz - paid for by SDAC. Yea, an A-segment car but heyy.. it does the job and made me appreciate the Focus more when I got back the car! After sales service; I'd like to think that if you set your expectations accordingly, you're likely to be less frustrated. In any case, for me to handover the service booklet before I can go on my merry way takes a lot less time than if I were to drop by a Honda service center. #truelifeexprience Anyway, the only bummer with the facelift is the halogen lamp. Other than that, I don't think space is relevant if you opt for this car. It's quite silly to burn fuel carrying air as you don't end up using those 'space' ALL the time carrying passengers - so yea, a decently-priced nice-handling C segment hatchback which is more sleeper than sporty at less than RM100k (if you car to look for deals) is actually a steal!

They keep saying they do not have available courtesy cars; when I put in an official email to them insisting on it or else I will rent a car and claim from them, they just replied me bluntly that it is not their policy and slapped me with a clause from the warranty booklet that they are not responsible for any loss of usage, income blah blah blah. From a customer service point of perspective, they just do not show empathy and make the effort to regain my trust in the car and brand. I am the one who is always chasing for replies and updates and the typical reply from the customer service is that they will forward it to the service centre to contact me, so its like they are only the messenger without any obligation to obtain the relevant info from the service centre and reply their customers. Latest update, the parts of my engine will only arrive on the 15th of this month and installation work will only start on the 20th, so from 18/09 all this while my car has been at the service centre sitting there without anything done. I guess you can feel my pain and frustration for always being kept in the dark and my pride and joy being treated in such a way.

I own a Focus and got a misfire in cylinder 2. Check engine light turned on. The dealer tested it and they found that cylinder to have low compression. Will be waiting for them to fix it. The car is 1 year and 8 months old...

Of course. I have 2012 model and still no problems including gear box .

@@amiruldaniel5259 2012 until 2021????

Its pretty reliable. Dont believe the rumors

built tough.

where?

Faiz Zainudin it's his style bro. Bobby also has his own style. Ppl used to ask bobby to do it like GC as well but he politely declined.

Faiz Zainudin plus, have u seen how long he has reviewed cars?

The most important thing about a car review is, to be able to give the viewers the experience as close as possible as the car's driver, without actually driving the car. Yes you can have any style you like but in my opinion, the more specific the explaination, the better, rather than just saying "impressive, good, etc". Rather than just saying the handling is "the best in class", maybe he can evaluate a bit more about how's the car balance during mid corner, it's composure as compared to its competitions such as Mazda 3 and so on. More information will help buyers to decide which car is better for them.

Faiz Zainudin u and I are on the same page. However, other viewers may not be. Have u heard of the difference between a general review and an in-depth review? This is what it is. Auto buzz only does general reviews for ppl looking for the latest cars(this includes non petrolheads). Bobby contributes to the petrolhead community. Besides, some ppl just a don't give a f*** about what the weightage of 'good' or 'impressive' is.

Faiz Zainudin and let me tell u this, there is no way u can feel the car without driving it. Trust me, u can look up the oxford dictionary and use bombastic words but unless your hands and legs are there, there is no way u will feel what the car truly is.

Focus!

we just drift it.

Not with the sync 3..but with reduced warranty period on some wear n tear part.

Exactly...it eps n handling chateristic. If not used to very light force feedback..will feel weird.. especially taking corner

Fastest On Race Day! 😋

Alan Lai show us your review then... ;)

I notice about sync 2 n sync 3 interchangeble between review. Beside that all quite true.. Part n aftersale no more issue. Any car that enter big market like china then its oem, vland n aftermarket can reach your doorstep with more lower price than any unless importer n middle man screw up price.

Nazren Idris Yet you still wouldn’t be able to afford it

Well said. Could you show us how to review a car properly? I can't wait to see your video. Come on come on...

Kutuk je pandai

Nazren Idris "nothing manly"? Why? The colour shifting, dancing anywhere lcd cluster is manly?

Did u watch the other reviews hosted by the same host, who did reviews for the past few years too?
