The 2011 Ford Focus is similar to the Focus Ford already sells in Europe. The Focus sold here today is a completely different car which, car critics have long complained, isn't nearly as nice or enjoyable as the Ford cars Europeans drive.
This new Focus has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Dual-clutch transmissions operate, and feel, much like manual transmissions, providing better efficiency and a quick, responsive feel.
