Ford’s 2013 Focus provides a decent driving experience with the base 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine, as well as the sporty Focus ST’s optional turbocharged EcoBoost with 252 horsepower. However, reliability may not meet the standards expected from an affordable daily driver. Our favourite Ford Focus: 1.0 Ecoboost 125 Zetec .

Reliability Survey while Ford as a brand came a poor 27th place out of 32 Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV The MHEV was phased into the Fiesta during 2020, though, so you need to be absolutely clear which version you are talking about. The MHEV (125 and 155ps) should have an "Ecoboost hybrid" tailgate badge . The 100ps is still the original wet belt version though. NB: presuming you mean ST-Line, not ST, which is a 1.5. Im a hobby mechanic so know a bit about cars and have a friend who's been desperate for a car for about 2 months now after her other car died. She's now found a Ford Fiesta and its a eco boost, probably a 1.0 or 1.4 litre and will be a 2008 - 2017 model. Ive heard they're unreliable engines and have the nickname 'ecoboom' for a good reason and Out of 28 rivals, the Fiesta came 19th in the small and city car class of our most recent reliability survey. Ford as a brand finished in 27th place out of 32 car manufacturers. UgxVNZf.
