800km with RM97
Me too also managed to get 6.0 with a single trip from KL to Melaka
But need to be really gentle on the paddle and play with cruise control abit,
when going downhill disengage cruise control, otherwise it will do engine braking and waste couple of drops of fuel there
Woah!! 5.9 with 85% highway. That's pretty good leh.
Even 100% city only 9.5l. Do u need to be light on the pedal?

The grinding sound are minor. It seems like more towards the characteristic of dry dct. You will only face the infamous dct problem when driving slow. Once you speed more than 50kmh above, you woudn't face any problem at all.

What worries me is the gearbox leakage which lead to heavy judder and clutch slip... Some owner already replace new oil seal, clutch assy and tcm update but the problem happen again after less than a year....

A lot of owner report gb leakage nowadays on fb....

Mine car still in SDAC PJ after a week to replace new oil seal and clutch assy. Apparently the car having problem after replace new oil seal and clutch assy, need their technical team to further check and inspect... Sigh...

Five word to describe this car. Great car lousy gear box... LOL...

Long time didn't post my comments here .  I'm owner of new ford focus titanum which I bought last year May.
I have sent my car to workshop last month on 24 Feb for gear clutch replacement and shaft which cause rattling sound. It took 5 and half days to do all the replacement .

As at today, gear functioning better with no gear slip. Fuel comsumption is getting normal but grinding sound still occur especially during the transition from first to second gear.
In addition, rattling sound still occur especially travelling on uneven road.  I really do know what the f*** Simedarby Auto  service people has done for the 5 and half days.  Are they retifying the right problems? By finding the rootcause? I'm doubt.

I have sent my car recent Monday  and tried to fix up my  driver electronic seat which was jam . To my surprise, Simedarby Auto customer service told me it require 2 days. What the f***,  it take 2 days to fix one  electronic seat????

Ford Focus is a  good car and I have no complaint about the  handling and performance.  But the gear issue definitely will drag their reputation down if they don't solve it. The most annoying part,Ford  customers service keep stressing to the point that  the gear grinding sound is normal and it's superior than other gear system. Then , why are they replaced  new clutch for me????????

That's so true. My vios serve me well for the past 5 years with no major issue, and it's still runs pretty well with min maintenance. But it's just so dull driving japs car, there's no excitement in driving. Even opening/shutting the car door feels so different. Not to mention it's long spec list and safety features at this price tag.

Tell me about it.. am driving Vios for the past 9 yrs (going to be a decade old in less than 6 mths) clocking more than 250k.
No major issue, just regular service...

Now, want to change car, targeting C-segment cars. Still can't decide to get Civic/Focus/Altis..
Sigh..
