ok the 1.8 diesel in the focus is a little low on power. the 2.0 would be a better comparision

1.8t AUQ engine = 185bhp and 172ftlb ( info for my engine taken from diagnosics port)
2.0tcdi ford engine= 136bhp and 250 ftlb ( info from msn )
its the 80ish ftlb of torque that makes a difference

when you put your foot down mid range, the shove is the torque not the power
