Ford Focus Review
Make The Car Shop Megastore your first choice for used Ford Focuses. The Focus range includes 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, a saloon and an estate, as well as a two-door convertible version. The engines include 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 petrol and 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0-litre turbodiesel options – in both cases the 1.8 and 2.0 are the pick of the bunch for performance. There is also the option of Ford's CVT automatic gearbox.
The Focus is great fun to drive and has rightfully earned a reputation for class-leading handling. Although the suspension can seem firm around town – especially on the sportier models – at motorway speeds the ride is excellent.
The Ford Focus offers an excellent driving position, with adjustable seat height and reach- and rake- adjustment for the steering wheel making it easy for most people to get comfortable behind the wheel. Elsewhere in the cabin the feeling is spacious and airy with good headroom and a generous, practically shaped boot.
Equipment levels on used Ford Focus cars are generous too, with the LX and Ghia trims appealing to those seeking luxury and the Zetec, Sport and Titanium models aimed at drivers wanting a sportier feel. It's easy on the pocket too, thanks to reasonable economy, modest insurance and affordable servicing.
