Hey Focus drivers… anyone with experience on the mk4 2.0L 150hp auto?

@Aspen
Thanks for the tip! I’m curious to see how Hill-Assist works. Are you saying it’s a bit slow to respond?

Yeah, shifts aren’t as fast as a regular auto – there’s a bit of a delay, so don’t expect instant acceleration. It’s an automated manual, not a full automatic.

I appreciate the advice. I’ve been looking forward to getting a sporty, family-friendly car. Maybe I’ll drive it for 6 months and see how it holds up.

If you’re open to other options, maybe consider a 2015-2021 WRX, Infiniti Q50, Mazda3/Mazda6, Lexus ES330, or a Honda or Toyota model. They’re all solid alternatives.

@Aspen
I think I’d be more interested in the Infiniti or Toyota options. I’ll check those out, thanks!

Also, maybe look at the Honda Accord 2.0T, and remember Lexus is made by Toyota, so you might find what you’re looking for there. Good luck!
