Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Handling and ride very good and this car is much more refined than my previous 2008 focus. However the 1.6 engine is weak, economy not great despite the official figures and very jerky. The handling on the my old focus was far superior.
What's it like to park?
Easy to park but rear park assist would make it better.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Remote locking is temperamental but ford seem unable to rectify this.
What's most practical about your car?
Good sized boot and fuel filler cap prevents misfueling.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Not many but the USB connectivity and steering wheel mounted controls very good.
