Ford Focus Zetec Collection

Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec has to be one of the most reliable cars out there in the market today. Having owned my Focus for over three years it has only played up on me once, but soldiered on and got me home nevertheless (all will become apparent later :-) The servicing costs are relatively cheap, or as cheap as they can physically be for a car due in part to the high numbers of these cars on the road. Spares for indicators etc are extremley easy to come by, I recommend taking a trip to your local scrap yard where I promise you there will be some ford Focus's. The only problem the car has given me, and the only extra cost apart from the annual ...  Read the complete review

i bought an 09 focus zetec 1.6, as everyone says, the steering and comfortable sports seats are superb. The air/con, cd/radio, interior and quick clear windscreen are the usual ford standard. it really is a very smooth drive, although i find it a bit sluggish from first to third. as for fuel costs, im averaging 38 mpg which is really good. ive done a lot of motorway driving recently and the focus is first class for comfort on a long drive. on country roads the sports suspension and superb steering give it excellent handling on those twisting b roads. Appearance wise, with the new shape of the bodywork, alloys, front fog lights, the focus looks great. Overall i am happy ...  Read the complete review

I own a 1.8 zetec focus and i have to honestly say that it is the most reliable car i have ever owned. For mundane tasks like taking rubbish to the tip, taking children to sports games etc its roomy, comfortable and the 1.8 engine does go - ish. Ride and handling is superb, the best bit of the car and it rightly should get all its paludits it has over the years. Mine came with CD player, alloys and metalic paint as standard, and when its comes to servicing it cost me just over £100 for a service and change of spark plugs, spares are so easy to come by as well which gives piece of mind. I reckon im getting about 30-32 mpg per cycle which is a tad dissapointing if ...  Read the complete review

I've owned a ford focus tdci for the past two years. It's proved to be reliable and the services costs are not too bad even through the ford dealer. It's a comfortable but firm ride and it handles well on the corners. The Ford CD player is rather basic and can be difficult to use when driving but the controls are available on the steeing wheel. The boot is a decent size with plenty of storage space and with the back seats down there is plenty of room for carrying furniture and large loads. The standard tyres that came with the car have worn down and I was suprised how quickly this happened. The car is a 1.8 turbo diesel but it's slower away from traffic lights than the ...  Read the complete review

Knight in shinning armour- at least thats what i like to call it. I've bought this special edition version of Fords well aclaimed Focus several months back. To date i have had no problems. The drive is excellent. The looks are second to none. The insurance is cheap (especially if bought through Ford own insurance group). What else could you want from a car. As driving into town you just see pedestrians heads turn as driving past. Being a collection model it has a unique look, with good standard features. To add extra packs such as traction control you dont have to dig deep into the pocket, which is the beauty about buying a Ford. The 3-door model gives the collection ...  Read the complete review
