RedhillPhil Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Newbie Phil here. My luscious lady friend has a Focus on a 12 plate. It's a 1.5/1.6 (not really sure) turbo diesel. There's a badge on the boot that states ECOnetic technology. The ECO bit is in blue. The RFL is £30 per year. It's a cracking little car with an astonishing mpg. I now wish to buy a (newer) Focus for myself - probably something on a 67 or 68 plate but I'm bewildered by all of the model designations. What is the modern version of my luscious lady friend's car? Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hi, it'll be a 1.6 TDCi in 2012, the 1.5TDCi wasn't fitted to the Focus until a couple of years later. It should also be £20 a year tax, not £30. Econetic Technology is just a bit of branding, it's meant to look a bit like the 'EcoBoost' petrols badging without advertising that is a dirty diesel, it doesn't really mean anything though, it's nothing to do with the engine or spec. You can only get the 1.5TDCi in the Focus by 2017 so that's the engine it sounds like you'll be after, it is a bit different to the 1.6 though. Also remember the tax system changed that year though, so tax is now £140 a year on any car you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facelift MK2 with the 16v engine was 119 g/km and £30 tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
