Hi all,

I hope you are well.

I currently drive a 2009 Audi A3 2.0L TDI S-Tronic.

Reluctantly I am looking to sell and get something with the similar speed, fuel economy and lower maintenance costs.

I'm looking to buy a 2013/14 Ford Focus 2.0L TDCI powershift in the hope I can get the same joy I do from the Audi.

Can anybody provide any opinions or suggestions on this decision?

As the maintenance costs were an issue with Audi... I also want to know generally speaking if wear and tear/maintenance of Ford/Focus are reasonable? This question can be difficult to answer but just a rough opinion will suffice.

Regards,

Serg
