One of the best driver’s cars in the class, with truly entertaining handling if you go for ST-Line trim. It has sharp dynamics, a good ride, quiet cruising manners and lots of passenger space. The iffy interior quality, reduced ease of use for the climate controls, and slightly lacklustre performance are the main areas that mark it down.
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.
