Ford Focus Ghia in general

I bought my Ford Focus Ghia 1.6 around 12 months ago when my Rover 25 Olympic went to the great scrap-heap in the sky. It was second-hand, having only one prior owner and has an 02 registration, but i still paid around £4000 for it, and my insurance wasnt cheap either at £800. This moves it to the ceiling of what the average student can afford, if not making it completely unaffordable for that group of drivers. There are lots of things i like about the car, one of which being the front heated screen, which given our current cold weather has meant the difference between scraping ice for 15 minutes, and watching it all melt from the comfort of the drivers ...  Read the complete review

I've been driving a 1.6 Focus Ghia Saloon for about six months and have not been dissapointed in it. Initially on my choice of car; I test drove and compared nine others (Rover 45, Toyota Corolla and Avensis, Citroen Xsara, Renault Megane and Scenic, Chrysler Neon, VW Golf and Seat Cordoba). Only the Focus was I immediately comfortable and impressed with! Its comfortable...seat can be moved to suit all, easy to get into without knocking knee on on trim (Rover take note!); responsive...just takes roundabouts with a roll of the wrist on the steering wheel and acceleration just a feather touch on the pedals, and practical...nice touches throughout...CD contols ...  Read the complete review

I bought a 2.0l Ghia in September and I am really impressed. I went for the stylish saloon rather than the cut off hatchback and boy is it a big car. It has all the extras you need and a few you don't and is well put together and stylish. The boot has masses of room in and being higher than the hatchback means less bending when you are getting shopping in and out. I'm getting about 32MPG from it and that's with town driving, only 5 miles to work every day! When I do my motorway trips I get just over 38mpg, pretty good considering I'm a foot down sort of driver. I also find it comfortable and on the long journeys when I stop at the service ...  Read the complete review

Since my father was given a Ford Focus 2.0L Ghia I must say I really enjoyed driving it when I was on the insurance, just for the sheer power and ability to accelerate at traffic lights. The car belonged to an electrical company(they paid my insurance for the car) but when my father retired he was offered the car and sadly for me, my insurance was far too expensive for the car :-(. Should you wonder how much the car cost it was around £10K but that was bought off the Leasing Company who dealt with my fathers former work. The car itself has Air Conditioning which does a good job of keeping you cool on those hot days. Internally the car has plenty legroom and ...  Read the complete review

In driving a Ford Focus I have found it to be both comfortable and have excellent road handling capacities. The mileage is good, but not as good as in the literature. The car I have driven is a diesel and does about 50 miles to the gallon. If you are thinking of getting this car and have children I would recommend the seats which are all fabric rather then those trimmed with the softer material, as this is difficult to clean. Apart from that, my only regret was not getting a CD player as adding it much more expensive to add in later. ...  Read the complete review
