Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec 5dr Reviews

I have been a fan of ford focus for a long while now since they first came to the scene in 1998. The look of the car inside and out made it very appealing for me. Unfortunately i didnt have a licence and was not old enough to get one so that passed and the new shape (2004) came along. This looked even better and was looking to getting one, however ...  Read the complete review

I don't personally own a Ford Focus but I have driven my brothers so thought I would add a review.

The dashboard is clearly laid out and ...  Read the complete review

With the birth of our first child on our minds, the decision was made to buy a family car. Having owned and loved Ford's, the decision was made to purchase a Focus. We currently own a 56 reg 1.6 Zetec 5 dr. The 1.6 litre engine is quite economical and performs well in potting around town and racing down the motor way. The interior ...  Read the complete review

I've owned my '05 Focus for nine months now and it hasn't always been plain sailing. Within two weeks of owning her she was refusing to let me accelerate (particularly dangerous on the motorway when I couldn't get her over 40mph) and the engine light kept appearing on the dashboard. I took her in for repair and it turns out there was water on the ...  Read the complete review

I run a 2nd hand 2005 Focus 1.6 Zetec, bought at 16 months old after I'd finally run my old Fiesta into the ground. Overall, it's an enjoyable car to drive. I find it is good around town (I live in London) but certainly holds its own on the open road/motorway. The fuel economy if also pretty good (I get about 350-400 miles out of a ...  Read the complete review

In a world where German cars are built in South Carolina, Alabama and Mexico, Japanese cars can come from the U.S., Canada and Europe, American cars are sourced out of Mexico and Canada and French cars may one day be assembled in Japan, assigning points of origin becomes increasingly difficult. And, ultimately, perhaps meaningless. Manufacturing ...  Read the complete review

A safe bet for a family car is always to go with a brand of car that you trust, and I have to say that I don’t trust many more than Ford. Ford has, over the past 3 or 4 years become the leading manufacturer of family cars with rival destroying models in the form of their cutting edge style Focus, and the old, and now new, Mondeo cars. The ...  Read the complete review
