Ford unveils spec for Focus ST

The standard 5 speed manual transmission gets slightly better gas mileage than its automatic version. Gas mileage is rated at 24 MPG city and 35 MPG highway. Several states offer a slightly greener version of this engine, with cleaner emissions and very little change to horsepower; 136 at 6,000 RPMs, and torque; 133 at 4250 RPMs. Several of Ford Focus's competitors no longer offer a manual transmission.

SES trim packages are offered with 17 inch allow wheels, more enhanced body styling, highway tuned suspension. The only engine offered for the 2010 Ford Focus is the 2.0 liter inline four cylinder that can give 140 horsepower. The standard transmission for these engines is a 5 speed manual, while there is a four speed automatic offered as optional equipment. Most models will receive between 24 mpg city and 35 mpg highway for manual transmission equipped vehicles. Models that have the automatic transmission lose approximate 2 mpg in both city and highway driving.
