The model

Read full review

The Ford Focus stands out as one of the best driver’s cars in the class ¬– its handling truly entertains if you go for our favourite ST-Line Edition trim. The sharp dynamics is complemented by its decent ride, quiet cruising manners and lots of passenger space. The iffy interior quality and slightly lacklustre performance are the main areas that mark it down.

The trim

See full equipment

On top of the ST-Line Edition, this adds 18in alloy wheels, full LED headlights, six-way powered driver's seat, passenger lumbar adjustment, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, climate control, digital dials and part-leather trim.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 1.0 Ecoboost 125 now comes with mild hybrid technology to improve both performance and efficiency. We're yet to try it in the Focus, but our experience with it in the Ford Puma was very positive, so we'd be surprised if it isn't the pick of the Focus range, too.
