Ford Focus 1.6 petrol or 1.0 Ecoboost?
Enquiring yesterday at Ford Dealer about 1.6 Focus petrol and was told that I would be better of with the 1.0 Focus with Ecoboost. Can this be right?

I will soon be able to get a car under the Motability Scheme. I've been giving serious consideration to a Ford Focus, but I'm unsure of 1.6 or 2.0-litre. Can you also tell me which wheel/tyre combination...

Refined and upmarket feel to the cabin. Comfortable and quiet on the move. More efficient petrol and diesel engines. Better ride quality. Excellent £750 Driver Assist Pack.
