Ford Focus owner reviews

YOU TELL US... Hatch is agile and efficient, but could be more stylish

You tell us what huge-selling hatch is like to live with

GOOD

“THE 1.5-litre TDCI diesel is more responsive compared with the old 1.6 TDCI.”

“I’ve been impressed with the fit and finish inside.”

“My Ford Focus is a genuinely enjoyable car to drive.”

“For a petrol-engined family hatch, my model’s average 50mpg economy is decent.”

“The dashboard controls all fall easily to hand.”

“Road tax and insurance are cheap, plus servicing has been hassle free.”

“The steering lets you know what’s going on between the tyres and the road.”

NOT SO GOOD

“I FIND the infotainment touchscreen to be slow and unresponsive.”

“The heating system takes forever to warm the car up.”

“Rear visibility is poor and the thick windscreen pillars cause blindspots.”

“The sat-nav system isn’t very intuitive, and finding DAB stations is a pain.”

“Rear seats are tight for adults and the boot could be a bit bigger.”

“The driver’s seat has limited adjustability.”

“It’s cheap to run, but I could do with a bit more power from the 1.0-litre engine.”
