You're correct it's not "traditional" but actually more like an m/c tranny. It is incredible how smooth it shifts. Down shift at speed is waaaaaay smoooth. Keep your right foot steady, drop it into low and the only indication it has down shifted is the rpm's go
Up. Great for slick conditions where you need engine braking.

Does the Focus in blue have the metal flake like the Fiesta? It really POPS in the sun.
