I had a 2015 with 2.0 and 6 speed “automatic” Mine had to have the software set about 5K due to rough shifts . But shortly began shifting rough again. Coming around corner may or may not shift down. I sparred with Ford reps over a period of time. They said the newer ones had a “fix”. I then asked for a 2016 or 17 transmissson. BUt the warranty only offered 2015 original parts. Go figure. I could not get any concession. I loved the car, and found out the 3 cyclinder version had a regular 6 speed automatic. I loved the rest of the cadr so much I got a 2017 focus but with the 3 cylinder. The dealer did give me a good deal to do so. ---

Yes Ford has been making the three cylinder, designed in Germany, for a little bit of time. It has a turbo cable bill of 240,000 RPM max. 123 horse are sold about the same foot pounds of torque with the torque is a relatively low RPM of 3400 range making it very nice and fun to drive. The three cylinder also goes on the fiesta ---

Where are you located because I may be wrong but I don’t think the 3 cylinder is sold here in the US yet . ---

Here is a [review](http://bestride.com/reviews/new-car-reviews/focus-se-2016) of the 1-liter, 3-cylinder Focus by a CarTalk colleague. In case anyone is interested. Here’s a fun fact. No counterbalance shaft on that engine. Yet, it is still smooth. The Focus is gone now, but I suspect that engine will find some new homes as Ford switches to new small crossover models.
