I bought a third hand X-Reg 1.8 TDi Ghia off Autotrader 18 months ago with 79k on the clock. It had been in a heavy front end crash with its first owner and repaired to legal standards, so i only paid £1800 for it, and its the best £1800 pounds I have ever spent. DRIVE: Its great fun to drive and holds the road exceptionally, great ...  Read the complete review

When I got rid of my Fiat Punto 1.9 JTD this time last year I was in the market for a slightly larger vehicle. I was having a love hate relationship with the back end of the Renault Megáne and the Citroen C4 was not released then (what it is about me and French cars I don't know!) although I thought that would be the ideal car. Nothing much was ...  Read the complete review

Summary The TDdi Focus is an average car with faults in areas, but this car can be fun to drive if you have time, space and patience. The Focus has a good fuel economy along with excellent handling characteristics, but you trade this for a hard ride, and a tiny boot space. This is not really a family car as in my opinion there is ...  Read the complete review

The Ford Focus is a fantastic car! I learned to drive in a 1.6 litre Focus Zetec. I was so impressed I didn’t want to give it back at the end of each lesson. The driving position is very good. It gives you a good all-round view of the road. The front seats are height adjustable, move back and forth and have adjustable lumbar ...  Read the complete review

What a great car! I turned up at the rental office expecting to get a Fiat Bravo or something like that. I wanted a smaller car than the awful Vectra I had last time. I was given the choice of a Peugeot 307, Renault Megane or Focus. I chose the Focus as I have been thinking about buying one. I chose the Diesel as I am used to driving my ...  Read the complete review

I bought my new Ford Focus 1.8TDi in January and have been greatly impressed all round. Power Steering very good handling capabilities even making sharp turns at higher speeds. However watch out if its fitted with soft sidewall tyres as these are not good with cornering or parking close, if you have a bump it will ruin the ...  Read the complete review

Mine has done 18,000 miles with no real problems. It will plod along a motorway in heavy traffic quite happily, but does feel like it was made for hard charging on a quiet motorway. The fuel tank is a little small (about 400 miles of mixed driving), but the car offers good overall economy. It drives more like a petrol car than a diesel. The ...  Read the complete review
