2002 Ford Focus Diesel:
"Out on the road, you can feel the benefit of the 206lb/ft of torque in the strong mid-range pull. There's no overboost, as in the Mondeo engine, and not much need for it. The hatchback gets to 62mph in 10.8 seconds, revs at around 2250rpm at an indicated 70mph on the motorway, and has an ultimate top speed of 120mph. Combined fuel consumption is 51.4mpg, and the CO2 emissions figure is down at 145g/km."
"It's got a cop motor: a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."
