Mojoe .. u r right .. That's what i heard from one of the SE. Order for the current batch are done in a rush.. I was too hoping the later batch will come with better/newer engine.. let's wait & see

[Fireswan]

later batch meaning ??

[Acemundo]

i concur with u

Maybe a lao jiao like you can answer this question. Look at the specs on the brochure for Focus.

 

0-100 is 11.9s

50-100 is 13+s

 

Any idea why?

[Acemundo]

haha.....i not lao jiao......that's why i cannot answer you!

 

must ask seanseane to answer you.

 

the 50-100 looks very odd to me

[Seansene]

The things to understand about acceleration figures is the purpose: 0-100 timings measurestarting acceleration, it works through the gears: 1-2-3... while 50-100, or more commonly, 50-70mph timings measure expressway acceleration, and are taken in only one gear, in this case 4th gear. That is why the timing seems unacceptably high. This gives a good indication of mid-range torque, and why you will find TC cars performing extremely well here.

[Acemundo]

i see......so its readings taken only at the fourth gear.

 

so is there any other comparison for other cars for the 50-100kph?

 

i just taken a look and confirm my suspicion. the mkII is more sluggish compared to the mk1

[Seansene]

To be honest, it's the first time I've seen a 50-100kmh timing. It's usually 30-50mph or 50-70 mph.

[Acemundo]

hehe.no wonder.

 

i was scouring the car brochures i had and couldn't find anything on 50-100kmh timing.

Hi guys, the new 1.6 Duratec Ti-VCT (115PS) engine is only available in manual transmission. Maybe that's why RM brought in the 100PS engine, seeing as most drivers go for auto trans nowadays.

[Aspri]

Thank you for the clarification! In fact, I also found the same answer from another source at the same time. I think RM needs to tell this to their SEs.

[Acemundo]

where did u get ur answer from?

[Seansene]

RM needs to tell their SEs lots of things, least of all the boot size of the new Focus sedan. The brochure says 385 litres, which is the same as the hatch...

[Aspri]

Their brochures!

[Seansene]

Yeah, paragons of up-to-date facts

[Acemundo]

hehe...i missedthat out

[Aspri]

Maybe because I'm engineer by training so I always RTFB!
