Does anyone own one of these?

What are they like to live with?

Any known faults?

Which engine? Zetec is a trim-level...

If you mean the Sigma, it's a bulletproof unit and the DPS6 trans is fine.

Sorry.

Focus 1.6.


I am still stuck in a time when Zetec was an engine, and not a trim level.

I guess in this case, the silence says something, and nobody has had problems with them.

I have read that the early versions were bad, but software fixes sorted them.

We are looking to buy brand new.

The twin clutch Powershift (Getrag 6DCT250 in the Focus / Fiesta IIRC) is an excellent unit and known to be reliable as long as the (relatively expensive) oil and filter changes are done on time (3 years / 37.5k miles).
