What Car? says
For The Focus is the best in its class to drive
Against It has a firm low-speed ride
Verdict
The Focus pretty much has it all
Go for… 1.6 Ti-VCT (113bhp) Zetec Climate 5dr
Avoid… 1.4 Studio
- 1. Stiff depreciation from new makes it a bargain used buy
- 2. Owners have reported engine software glitches, so watch out for poor starting and misfires
- 3. Interior is put together with a quality to rival the very best in the class
- 4. There was a recall to fix the vehicle's fuel return pipe, which could degrade and cause fuel leakage, so check the work has been done
- 5. The driving position is excellent, and everyone should be able to make themselves comfy
