Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet (2006 - 2010) 2.0 CC-3 2d (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

More money than sense and you were lead into purchasing a faulty vehicle. Perhaps that you are quite naive.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Loved it until they heard about the nightmare it was turning into and now they all hate it just as much as me!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Nope, never. The new look one with apparently new sills still leaks according to a dealer I went to just this weekend. I would never purchase another Ford as long as I live and recommend my family and friends against it also.

What are you likely to buy next?

VW Eos - to be honest though anything would be better than purchasing a Ford Focus CC3.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£19,000

When did you buy the car?

December 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

I thought so but in hindsight I wouldn't have paid a fiver for this car let alone 19 grand!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The look of the car.

What was the dealer like?

Rude, obnoxious, unhelpful, ignorant, naive, and they lied about various issues. Were slack when it came to a refund, although I was reassured that this was down to Ford and not Evans Halshaw.

What's it like to drive?

Smooth, sleek and it get's people's heads turning.

What's it like to park?

Bit of a nightmare, rear end is so long that it makes judgment quite difficult.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Where to start...was sold the car with internal and external scratches to the bodywork, there was a rattle in the passenger door, the windows had a life of their own and most importantly the roof leaked.

What's most practical about your car?

It managed to drive superbly and stuck to the road quite well.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control, although this comes as standard on most new cars nowdays.
