treewojima 02/01/18 2:03:33 PM #1:	Ford, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make the EcoSport only available in the US with the dual clutch PowerShift box. The same one that has been causing Focus and Fiesta owners endless problems with leaking oil seals and bad TCMs. In other markets they began to offer a traditional automatic last year because of issues with the DSP6, but nope - let's introduce a new model to the US with the worst transmission as the sole option. At least you can get the Focus and Fiesta with three pedals and still have a decent car. <cite>treewojima posted [p:895253189] in Introducin...

My main point was that they're going with the horrendous DSP6 instead of a normal automatic like they offer in other markets. There's a class action lawsuit against Ford because of how bad that transmission is. <cite>treewojima posted [p:895254007] in Introducin...
