For The Ford Focus 1.6 125 Titanium Estate brings luxuries such as keyless start, dual-zone climate control, automatic lights and wipers, and cruise control. Most importantly, it upgrades the centre console, giving it a much classier look.

Against The engine needs to be worked hard, and even then it’s hardly lively. The price is getting high with this combination of engine and trim.

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

The Ford Focus 1.6 125 Titanium Estate feels past its sell-by-date, so we’d spend a bit more and get the turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol or a 1.6 diesel.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There isn't a bad engine among the ones in the range that we've tried, but we reckon the best is the 148bhp turbocharged 1.6 Ecoboost. It's smooth, gives you the sprightly pace with which to exploit the car's brilliant handling, and keeps running costs reasonable.

The 1.6 turbodiesel will be popular, too, because it's impressively pokey but incredibly efficient.

Similarly, all the trims are pretty generously specified, so there's no bad choice there, either. All versions come with air-conditioning, electric windows, DAB radio and Bluetooth. We prefer Titanium trim, though, thanks to the posher-looking stereo that gives the cabin a real lift.

Blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning with built in lane-keeping are all available as options. As is Forward Alert, which warns of an impending crash, buzzing up a visual and audible alert. It can even apply the brakes to help minimise an impact.
