Advantages: nice looking, fast, economical

Disadvantages: cd player

This is one very nice car much beter than the golf mine is a V-reg, 1999, it has 70,000 miles on it.
This car is very fast and does around 30-40mpg and acceleration is excellent.
My mum had a fiat punto crash into the back of her in the focus the over day, the punto was doing about 30mph, all that happened was the focus had a little hole in the bumper but the front of the punto was all caved in.
I think these cars are very safe and the insides are very nice looking, very modern, and well spaced out. The boot is quite large and ther is plenty of room for 3 adults in the back as the roof is high no ones head touches the roof. The car has 2 airbags.
The steering is very very light and makes the car a pleasure to drive.
mine has a radio cassett and i wanted a cd player so i went to my ford dealer to see how much it costs to upgrade they said £300, i thought this was rediculas, but no other radio fits apart from a ford one.
i would buyanother focus but i think i would buy the st170 (170BHP) i think the 1.8 runs about 120(BHP).
Buy one you will not regret it trust me.
Unless you are a qualified machanic maintance and serviceing is for a garage only.
This car is nice on long distances and has pouches at the rear of the front seats for passengers to keep things in.
I have one problem with the car when i sit in the back there is no arm rest so i would put my arm across the top of the seat instead accept i cannot because the rear seat has 3 head rests but nothing is perfect but other ethan that a great well built car by ford that are becomeing cheapeer and cheaper.
