I've been talking to my co-worker about his Focus, especially
about how the DCT is working. He still likes the car, but it's
been back to the dealer a couple of times with transmission issues.
The tech told him "they released this too early". His sense is
that the computer tries to hard to learn your driving style and
save gas -- he can tell if his wife's been driving the car, the
shifting is all off for a while before it relearns. Not sure
I buy the last part, but it does seem like a shame they pushed
out the DCT when a normal 5-speed automatic would have worked
just fine. I know, mileage and 0-60 times.
