Ford Focus Zetec in general

At the start of this review I am going to let everyone know why little old me has been missing from Dooyoo for a while. I am urgently trying to tidy my house up, as it?s gone up for sale since Monday just gone. Since I am now married I am looking to move to a newer house, and my time is required on painting everything in site ? This includes my pet Chinchillas is they would stay still long enough!!!. Hopefully I should be back to my normal crap opinions from the New Year!. ********************************************* Right, now for my opinion on the lovely Ford Focus I hired last weekend to go and see my Nana down in Stafford. I picked up my car ...  Read the complete review

I've had my second-hand Focus 1.8 Zetec for about 5 months now and despite a few small teething problems the car is great. The looks speak for themselves, fantastic. I have the 5 door version and many people have commented on the rear passenger space being very high. They liked it this way and found the room in the back to be more than enough for long journeys. Although I find the engine to be a tad on the loud side (maybe switching from a Diesel, I was expecting far too much!) the pick up is excellent and nice and powerful. The best thing is the handling which is brilliant around corners, no wallowing or bodyroll to note with pinpoint steering. ...  Read the complete review

I am quite a ford fan, my parents have had fords for my entire life, they still have two, my brother and me also have one, and in fact we are known as family ford. Originally my parents drove a sierra but last may they decided to buy a focus and after careful consideration bought a 3 dr 1.8 zetec. This car is simply fantastic! I own the sierra now and when my mum parted with it she did not consider it as an old car. The focus changed her mind and I am considering buying one as well. A good upgrade when purchasing the car is the climate pack that includes the air conditioning. I’ve been totally converted to the air conditioning clan. It is great on hot days ...  Read the complete review

Being a bit of a car nut I insisted on finding out why every magazine I read raved about the Ford Focus. Well I soon found out! The moment I sat in the car I was very comfortable. EVERYTHING was within easy reach and felt solid to the touch. When I moved off, all the controls were light YET were more communicative than an international telephone exchange! The engine whispered nicely, behaving itself in public. It was the 1.6 Zetec version, a great motor indeed. The gearshift slotted home precisely every time I touched it, while the driveline picked up smoothly. There was plenty of room in the cabin, though possibly at the expense of boot space. ...  Read the complete review

I have owned my Ford Focus for a year now, it is a Focus Silver, although not a Zetec as such...but it is based on one, its the same as the 1.6 Zetec but with extras such as Air-con, Heated Screen, Electric Mirrors, ABS, RS Alloys, Black Leather Interior and Machine Silver paintwork. This is my second Focus, the first being a 1.8 Zetec, which was also a fantastic car, i owned that for two years and it never let me down once. I was a bit concerned when i bought this car as it meant going for a less powerful engine, but there is very little difference between the two, both cars have handled brilliant, a sporty drive from a car that is not an out and out sports ...  Read the complete review
