Introduction
What Car? says...
The Ford Focus and other family cars have faced a serious challenge in recent years as SUVs have become the go-to choice for many buyers. The Focus still does well in the car sales charts, though, and that owes a lot to perhaps its greatest asset – brilliant handling.
For this latest version, Ford has worked to improve the areas where previous generations of Focus have dropped the ball: interior quality, rear leg room, boot space and on-board tech. Those are all things it’ll need to get right if it’s going to be competitive in a hotly contested car class.
So, is the Ford Focus the best family hatchback out? To find out, read on over the next few pages of this review. We’ll cover all the bases, letting you know how it compares with the main rivals for performance, practicality, running costs and more. We'll also let you know which engine and trim combination is best.
