Summary****-

  • Good choice of engines and trim, easy to drive, ST170 is cheap, fast and fun
  • Poor equipment on early models

The Focus was nothing short of a revelation when it was launched, offering a superb blend of practicality, comfort and keen handling. A great all-rounder, it continues to be a hugely popular model and with a wide range of engines and trims there's something to suit everyone. Easy to live with and simple to drive, the Focus makes an ideal small family car with the 1.6-litre and 1.8-litre Zetec models the pick of the range.

"This car is designed for the older generation, but the seats are rather uncomfortable."
 
1.8 TDi Zetec 5d (01)
