ABS or Anti-lock brake system also known as Controller Anti-lock brake. ABS is a vehicle brake system safety features that is usually controlled electronically.

Its features is unchanged, from Europe and North America to Philippines. On the inside is an upscale looking dashboard considering this its a sub compact car, and the trunk in the back is a very good size, very deep you can actually put lot of stuff down there. The one shortfall of these car is backseat is relatively small. What makes this car special is, it is the the very first 3 cylinder vehicle made by ford. It's engine is turbo charge. Ford uses a turbo with low inertia rotors, it means that the turbo charger can spool up much quicker. Maximum torque on this engine comes with 2500 rpm, a mid range torque.
