I'm thinking about a Focus estate for my next car, but I need to get an automatic. Naturally, being a PHer, I want something with reasonable grunt. So what's the most powerful engine option that Ford ever made available in the Focus estate with an auto gearbox option? Diesel or petrol, not brand new, something between 3-8 years old is where I'd be looking.

Cheers.

Those seem to go up to about, what, 130bhp max? Is there any engine out there in an auto estate with over 150bhp, ideally 170-200?

Hmm, that's getting close. I'd ideally like something to beat my existing Mazda 6 2.0 petrol with its 147 bhp. Fully laden (boot full, 4 people, bikes on roof) it struggles on motorways when the road starts pointing upwards.

Were any of the higher power diesels available with an auto option?

OK, cheers. I'll probably have to move up to Mondeo class to find the power I want I suppose. Shame, I'd rather have a smaller car than that.
