YOUR KIDDING..... They produce more power and torque, yet have a lower average consumption (if memory serves) over Focus... Now I know why.

I hate the fact my Focus spins so fast in top gear, seems there was no real benefit to a 6 speed when I know it could handle spinning MUCH slower on the open road.
