Car reviews

Developing a replacement for the much-loved original Focus was an unenviable task, but Ford has successfully delivered. It's stylish, well equipped and is proving itself to be reliable. Plus while it's still as good to drive as ever, there's now more interior space and a genuine feeling of quality. A mid-life facelift means that people who buy a Focus from January 2008 get an even better car. As well as a Mondeo look front end, the interior has been vastly upgraded with better materials and more attention to detail. Plus, for the first time, there's the option of buying an eco-friendly ECOnetic model.
