I bought a 2003 Ford Focus TDCi sport in the hope of keeping a reliable and cheap to run motor. After 8000 miles it required a brand new flywheel and clutch ( £1200) ouch. I have been lucky in that the fuel pump seems to be OK, but I gather that some of the 2003 models suffer with wear and bre ...

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 ...

The steering wheel is too far away from the driver if you have long legs.
With only 43,000 miles on the clock (04 reg) I require a new flywheel (common fault with the diesel according to some forums I have read), possibly clutch, slave cylinder and starter motor. Approx cost £700 to £1 ...

I own a Ford Focus 1.8 tdci ghia estate 115 and the design always looks up to date and looks better than the new one. The interior is superb and dosen't look cheesy like more recent cars. The engine is very smooth, quiet and has the punch of a kick-Boxer, but still giving excellent mpg, even with th ...

I used to work for Ford on the design of the Ford Focus
I now work as a consumer, driving this car in very demanding conditions day in day out at high speed.

There are a few weak points, such as the stalling issue when pulling away. This is to protect the dual mass flywheel from being damaged b ...

I am now on my second Ford Focus (the new 2002 Model 1.8 TDCi). I had my first focus for 3 years (45,000 Miles) and had no problems, the only time it went to the garage was for normal servicing, when I changed the car the original tyres and brake pads were still on (although now needed changing). My ...

This review is based on UK-spec 1.8 TDi CL, but this is the same Focus as in the US. I have driven several examples of the 1.8 turbodiesel engine. The engine may be the weakest point. It's a bit noisy and rattly compared to petrols, but the torque means you leave petrol cars for dead. Hit the ga ...

The Ford Focus is a real nice car with some great features and is fun to drive. It has a lot of get up and go for a small four banger.It can hold four to five people pretty comfortably. Has a great ride for a small car. Rolls over some bumps that some bigger, much more expensive cars, would toss you ...
