Ford Focus 3 (Ford Focus) It is difficult to name a simple and simple car, this car is not only beautiful with the outside, but also has a modern exterior and equipping. Despite this, the focus of the third generation, in contrast to the previous version, did not become a bestseller, nevertheless, the number of used Ford Focus 3 on secondary market Hugely, so, to leave this car without attention, we did not have the right. Today we will talk about the most common drawbacks of Focus 3, and what should be paid to when buying this car with mileage.

A bit of history:

In 1998, the first Ford Focus came to change the model "ECCORT", his debut took place at the auto show in Geneva, in which the novelty produced a real exterior. The second generation of focus debuted in September 2004 in Paris. In 2005, the production of a car in Russia was established at the factory in Vsevolozhsk. He became a real brand bestseller and was among the top ten best-selling machines in the world. In the CIS, in order to get this car, many had to wait for their turn for 6 months.

Ford Focus 3 (MK 3) was first demonstrated in early 2010 at the international auto show in Detroit. In spite of this, official sales New in the CIS started only in 2012. The car was created on the platform " C1."And offered in three types of body - five-door hatchback, sedan and wagon. Unlike previous versionsThe novelty is equipped with a large number of electronic systems that are early inaccessible for most Ford models. For our market, four configurations were available - Ambiente, Trend, Trend Sport and Titanium, there is also a charged version of "ST". The third generation of Ford Focus was produced to 2015.

Ford Focus 3 Ways With Mileage

Paintwork coverage of this car, frankly, weak, scratches appear even from minor contacts with branches of bushes and brushes on car wash. Despite this, corrosion on the car body is quite rare. When inspecting the car, you must pay attention to the state of bumpers, as according to statistics, on each second instance fullings The front bumper is broken.

Power units

Ford Focus 3 was equipped with gasoline and diesel power units of varying degrees of forster: gasoline 1.6 (85, 105 and 125 hp), 2.0 (150 and 250 hp); Diesel 1 .6 (95, 115 hp), 2.0 (115, 140 and 163 hp). Netting on the reliability of Ford Motors is a big rarity, and the third generation of focus is no exception. The engines of this car are quite reliable, and if any problems arise with them, then, as a rule, they are insignificant. One of the peculiarities of gasoline power units is their noisy work, especially the immentable motor. For example, when starting a cold engine 1.6, you can hear the "Cocanier" or tapping from under the hood (feature of the injectors), after warming up, as a rule, the flowing sounds disappear. Motor 2.0 also has an unpleasant feature - a loud knock at the start of the cold engine (the feature of the WPTD).

On cars released from 2011 to 2012, there was an unstable operation of the engine "Trojection" and the loss of thrust, the reason - the firmware of the firmware control unit of the power unit, later, the manufacturer eliminated this problem, replacing the software. The engine control unit is not far from the front bumper, and if there is not even a significant blow to the front of the car, it is required to replace it (the cost of the block is about 1500 cu). If you constantly ride on large turnsIt increases oil consumption, up to 300 grams per 1000 km. Weak place diesel engines are considered to be sensitive fuel systemIf the car refused by poor-quality fuel, expensive repair can not be avoided.

Transmission

Ford Focus 3 was installed five-speed mechanical box Transmissions and robotic PowerShift transmission with two dry clutches. Unfortunately, automatic transmission It has both technical and operational disadvantages. So, in particular, the owners often raise on jerks, jerks and metal scraper When switching gear, as well as to twitch the car when moving in traffic. If the car was exploited most of the time in the metropolis, then expensive repair of this transmission will be needed already after 50-60 thousand km (the clutch replacement is required).

As for mechanics, it is quite reliable, but it still has minor flaws, it is still - flowing semi-axes and zaking gear shift cables. To extend the life of the gear shift cables, they need to be lubricated once every 50000 km. The clutch here lives long enough - 120-150 thousand km.

Ford Focus Suspension Reliability 3

As anterior suspension for Ford Focus 3, MacPherson is traditionally applied, rear - multi-dimensional independent suspension. Brake system Presented disk brake mechanisms, steering Equipped with an electro-hydraulic amplifier. The owners of this car model often complain about the embroidering of the suspension in cold weather, the dealers do not consider this breakdown, and call this lack of a "car feature". If we talk about the reliability of the suspension, it is sufficiently alive, and the excavation operation, on average, will serve 70-90 thousand km.

For most modern cars The stabilizer racks live no more than 50,000 km. Shock absorbers, after 70,000 km, as a rule, begin to leak, and closer to 100,000 km will need to be replaced, and the support bearings will have to be replaced at the same time. Ball supports hub bearings And silent blocks, on average, go about 80,000 km. Collapse levers rear suspension Faulty on mileage 60-70 thousand km. Steering Reika be considered to be problem Most In the running, and it can be frowning very early (up to 60,000 miles). Due to the fact that this node is not collapsible and varies assembly with the amplifier, its replacement is not cheap.

Salon

Ford Focus 3 has an original design, but as regards this model - brings the quality of finishing materials and the quality of the assembly, as a result, crickets in the cabin appear in the first year of the car's life. Despite the large number of electrical equipment in the cabin, the claims to their work arise extremely rarely.

Outcome:

In general, it is quite reliable and inexpensive in maintaining a car (if you do not consider cars with a robotic gearbox), yes, there are certain nuances, but they have other cars in this price segment.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

Ford Focus 3 generations can rightly be considered one of the leaders in the C class, we recall that this generation is sold from 2010 and in 2014 there was a small restyling during which a little changed appearance and interior design. Looking a little forward, let's say that in 2018 the fourth generation of focus should appear on the market, the network is already full of information about the novelty, as well as photographs of pre-seventive versions. But back to our restyled version, today in Russia the car is sold in three body versions:

• five-door hatchback;
• sedan;
• universal.

Unfortunately, we were sigh of the 3-door execution of Ford Focus, as well as its sports versions of ST and RS.

According to mine technical characteristics Hatchback, sedan and wagon are not much different, naturally if we are not talking about the dimensions and the volume of the luggage compartment. So the focus of the third generation has front-wheel drive, Three types of transmissions about which we will talk in more detail just below and rich line of engines in which it includes:

• 1.6 liter petrol motor with a capacity of 85 hp;
• 1.6 liter gasoline motor 105 hp;
• 1.6 liter gasoline motor with a capacity of 125 hp;
• 1.5 liter gasoline engine with turbocharged power 150 hp

Of all the versions presented in our opinion, the most interesting is 1.6 liter engine capacity of 125 hp and 1.5 liter turbo outstanding 150 hp

It is worth noting that earlier the car was also equipped with 2.0 liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 150 hp, in new version His place took a motor with a smaller volume, but equipped with turbocharging. Recently, more and more manufacturers prefer the turbocharged power aggregatesbecause They demonstrate the best dynamics, while consuming less fuel.

Available gearbox boxes

And now let's talk more about what boxes are available on Ford Focus 3 generations and which it is better to choose based on reliability and convenience of control.

As we have already had to say earlier, three types of gearboxes are installed on the car, each of which has its own pros and cons (about the advantages and disadvantages we will also tell me);

1. 6-step

The company's engineers decided to go a little different path, rather than the remaining manufacturers. While most companies establish robotic transmissions on versions with turbocharged engines, Ford engineers decided to equip atmospheric engines Power Shift robot, while the turbocharged engine is equipped with a classic machine.

If you are asked about which gearbox is better to buy Focus with a machine or a robot or mechanics, we will try to give you some kind of performance.

Honestly from the top three, we liked the work of the classic machine, but the mechanics and robot caused some questions.

Mechanics

To work mechanics, or rather switching questions no questions, but the number of gears caused questions, and there is enough of them in the city, but when you leaving the track, a shortage of 6 transmission is tangible. Moreover, competitors have long been offered six gears.

Robot

Despite the fact that it has become much reliable than the first versions of many motorists there are concerns when buying a car with such a type of checkpoint. Power spit has its advantages and disadvantages, the minuses include a dongy when switching from 1 to 2 and back, which many can get when driving in a cork mode. The second disadvantage is the cost of service and the cost of repair upon failure.

Price in 2018 and competitors

To date, the cost of the car in Russia is:

• the price of the hatchback is 769,000 - 1,171,000 rubles;
• price sedan 916 000 - 1 181 000 rubles;
• the price of a wagon 926,000 - 1 191,000 rubles.

What competitors have focus

We can say from ourselves that we consider the main competitors to Korean manufacturers who are fully similar, both at the price and technical characteristics
