Ford Focus reviews

A decent car.

This vehicle is very good in every way, but i just cannot take to it,so i am just going have to live with it for a while.

I have found this car (bought 10 months old) very comfortable, easy to drive and reliable.

I feel there should have been more simple refinements on this car ie all full electric windows; reverse warning indicator etc.

The best car I have owned to date.The dealership were excellent in all respects when choosing this car from other makes

We bought our used car from a Ford Dealer, low mileage but quite old, and it has been brilliant. Odd minor repairs but can't really fault it - love it! Would definitely get the same make and model again.

The car is very basic and it has been a disappointment to discover that small things are missing. The rear mirror has to be hand adjusted at night. There is no left foot rest. The passenger seat cannot be adjusted vertically. There are no red warning lights in the trailing edges of the door. The clock is not radio controlled. My previous Vauxhall Carlton was much better equipped but possibly not as well built. Overall poor value but I had to buy in a hurry.

Nice car, good drive, however been back to dealer a few times for small problems such as faulty bonnet sensor.Too many gadgets to go wrong. Will probably get rid of it before warranty expires.

For once I chose a car that is truly economical. It's comfy to try and spacious both in the car and the boot. The gears are great and the steering and road holding are superb, even when cornering. It even drives well in the snow. You'd think with such a small engine it would be sluggish but is the complete opposite and has excellent pull even when going up the steepest hills. It's steering even makes parking easier. To summarise the best car I've ever driven.

I preferred the Escort, which was much quieter inside, but have no other complaints about the Focus. Another great car by Ford.

basic, reliable, economical car with good mpg when driven within speed limits and aticipating possible traffic and road situations.

Car has been very dependable over a 6 year period. low maintenance cost, and a very good runner.

I love Fords. They are my kind of car; practical, reliable, no frills, economical and roomy. Because I do very high mileage, and when I had driven my old Escort into the ground, my mechanic advised me to change to a diesel engine and it is saving me so much money. I have two foul children for whom I run a taxi firm and I need a lot of boot space for all our activities. My car had 160,000 miles on the clock when I bought it and it feels like it's just 'running in'. I#d buy another one tomorrow.

I have had the car for about 18 months and it has been very reliable and has done every thing I ask of it with ease. I drive on a mixture of City and motorway and average about 41-42 mpg.

My car carries me comfortably from home to a variety of destinations

very reliable comfortable and economical

Have owned my car for 7 and a half years and it has never let me down(touch wood). The current mileage is over 160,000 miles and I am still completely confident with it.In fact we went on Holiday in it this Summer and covered over 1,000 miles in 6 days no problem. To conclude,I would recommend the Ford Focus to anyone as it is comfortable,reasonably cheap to run and 100% reliable.

My present car is a low mileage [for its year] Ford Focus. Because of the age of the car the road tax is more expensive than the newer models and that is one of things that will help when I buy a newer model. The car overall has been a very reliable car, nice to drive and comfortable over long distances.

I have been buying fords for 30 years, apart from the horrendous mondeo, ford cars have always been totally reliable and great value..

Had my Focus at 32000 miles now 91000 had very little trouble with it apart from servicable items like brake discs pads battery. Does 60+mpg on a run and 48 mpg rural driving. Still a lively fun car to drive.
