The Ford Focus ECOnetic is the Cologne answer to the VW Golf BlueMotion. And uses a 109-horsepower diesel engine plant, according to 4.3 liters diesel per 100 kilometers (CO2 emissions of 115 grams). That would be even less than the 0.2 liter diesel rival from Wolfsburg.
At the first exit of EXPRESS in Bergisch Land was the eco-Focus in good shape. Quietly and with higher torque (10.8 sec to 100 kph, top: 188 km / h) it provides the Focus driving pleasure so typical.

The indicated 4.3 liters but are probably attainable only on the dynamometer without activated radio or air conditioning. So no one takes hold.
However, the Focus Econetic with a base price of 21,000 euros (500 more than a comparable "style" without Econetic extras) an economical, comfortable and sporty car, surrounded by no means the aura of a waiver. The comparable cost from 20,625 euros golf, but has only two doors and a poorer standard equipment.
