... outstanding like the few Citroens ive owned, but certainly good enough to be happy with. The seats were always comfy, even on long journeys, and the velour material seemed to retain colour, shape and cleanliness well. The placement of controls and gearstick was excellent and nothing ever seemed to be awkward, always a good start! The estate boot was wonderful for my dog and it was so easy to get him in and out that he loved it, and the quite cheap dog guard fitted this car better than most! When not transporting the dog...more

I purchased a Focus Estate TDi to improve my fuel consumption when i changed jobs to one some distance away, and it turned out to be a very good choice. Mine was a W plate in navy blue, and when all washed and polished looked very nice, alot more so that the old style estates we used to see so many of - this one managed to retain the nice smooth lines of the origional Focus.

I take full advantage of its spacious design to take the kids down to Wales; complete with a tent, a dog and a few weeks worth of clothes. With its 55mpg fuel consumption, it doesn't drain you pocket too much, and with its 1.8 turbo injector you can also get some pretty quick acceleration. After having it for two and a half years, not much work has been required to be honest, just the usual wear and tear items needing replacing. The same with any car i suppose.

Since buying the car I have had to spend a fair amount on things getting fixed. However, it had done 100,000 miles when I bought it so it is always to be expected when a car has done such high mileage. Firstly the clutch master clinder needed replacing for a cost of £115 (Ford stock these on the shelf and are a common fault with these cars). Next, I had to get the pulley assembly replaced and because that wasn't working properly it had damaged the alternator! The pulley assembly is also ... Read the complete review
