The Ford Focus Estate stands out as the best-handling family wagon, complemented by a decent ride, generous passenger space and a large boot possessed of some handy design features. Just bear in mind that the interior feels distinctly low rent and the seating isn't as versatile as some of its rivals'.
If you want your Focus to be more SUV-like, Active is the trim for you. It gets mostly the same equipment as the Titanium trim but adds larger 17in alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, more rugged styling and slightly raised suspension.
