    Long Tubes Back To Short Tubes

I highly doubt my car...

    Eco Boost I4 Vs Fox

    You can basically classify all cars as "disposable" Depends on how deep your pockets are. A wealthy person can classify a C Class Mercedes as "disposable", and an average person can consider a Focus as "disposable" Like i said, depends how deep your pockets are.

    Eco Boost I4 Vs Fox

    Ford had some issues with that transmission when they first brought it out when the focus was redesigned and on the Fiesta when it came out. There was a lot of threads on multiple forums and warranty claims on those transmissions. Ford probably has the bugs worked out of them by now.
