Excellent for comfort and mpg even though its automatic. Hasn't had many problems until recently when cruise control packed up 4 hrs ago I had new battery fitted. When car is serviced annually the dealer never cleared computer so it came up on diagnostic check 11 faults since that was cleared and new battery fitted no problems. My only gripe is that dealer should check computer at annual service and M.O T.

I've only had this car a couple of weeks and am very impressed with how much better than its predecessor it is. It's more responsive, more economical and far more technically advanced than the previous Focus. The only thing I don't like is the rear wiper switch that is rather fiddly on the end of the instrument stalk. Even the electric handbrake is a doddle to use in conjunction with the hill start assist.

One of the best hatchbacks I ever owned, the car handles very well in motorways and in country roads. I've owned the car for 4 months, and it's been very reliable. Only having to replace was auxiliary belt and water pump, which is normal wear and tear for a 10 year old car. The build quality is good as a VW golf, and is as posh in Titanium spec. I would definitely buy another Ford.

Very nippy car for 1.0 engine. ST line version goes round corners like its on rails. Good for short trips or just as good cruising on motorway, and I love the look of car.

With only 39k miles on the clock, it's had two clutches and a new gearbox. It looks good, drives well until of course you're in the mechanics workshop handing over money. Shoddy build quality, overheating engine, even the door seal is glued on and easily comes off. Thankfully got rid of it today, after it boiled its water and started leaking oil.
