“THE CAR- We have a 2004 TDCi focus estate...”

written by tractor lad on 28/01/2009

Good Points
Quiet, handles the road nicely, decent amount of power with good mpg, a great, small motorway cruiser.

Bad Points
Steering seems a little heavy

General Comments
THE CAR- We have a 2004 TDCi focus estate (124,000miles), It is a ex-lease car and as a result hasn't received the kindest of treatments! However, It has faired very well. I have the full service history, this which shows it has had a blown turbo at 70k (no fault of the car) a new clutch, flywheel and slave cyl at 120k along with other things ie. Starter, several sets of brake pads 'all work was carried out by a ford garage and all past problems where reflected in the price.

USED FOR - Although we haven't owned the car for long, it does 120miles to work, 5days a week (mostly motorway but 10-15 of those miles are extra rural) It returns a good 55mpg,

SUMMARY - The car has proved to be, despite the abuse it has obviously received in the past, a reliable and fun car to drive. Everything still feels tight, there are NO irritating rattles that all our past estates have suffered. The engine is quiet, it seems to be a perfect small motorway cruiser that still has a lovely power delivery around the 2000rpm " 3500rpm, perfect for overtaking and slip roads.
