Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

This is a great little car which I love to bits as it's peppy and roomy with a decent size boot and the handling outshines most new cars and I know it's getting on in years but I can still get around 40mpg out of her if I go easy on the throttle . The main worry with a car this age is the dreaded tin worm and genuine new parts are harder to come by but look after it and the driving experience is very rewarding imvho . I 1st saw the Focus when they came out back in 1998 and wanted one but didn't buy one until 2017 and tbh I was kicking myself after driving it for the 1st time after all those years of not doing so and just love the shape .

How reliable do you find the car?

As already said not really had any issues just had general wear and tear stuff and a few advisories on recent test which it passed but not to shabby for a 16 year old car .

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

This is my second 1.6 Focus Ghia so I new what to expect except for it being just a tiny bit quicker than the hatch which surprisingly I could tell on the test drive .
