    This is the wifes car, not mine. I drive it only on occasion, and I find it a good car over all. She's had the car from new (2002) and the only repair has been a steering rack that developed a leak a couple of years back (just out of warrenty, typical!).
    The only real critisism I have is boot access. Who the hell designed the opening?! There are 2 panel's that cut the opening appature down either side of the car. Why? I can only presume it's for strength, however a work colleague has the estate ...

    My parents bought a Ford Focus two years ago and my, is it a good car. The 1.6 litre petrol engine isn't what I'd call truly fast, but it certainly is no slouch either, and it pulls nicely through all gears. Makes a very satisfying growl as well.
    Speaking of gears, the fifth one leaves something to be desired. At speeds under 100km/h, everything's fine. But when you hit the highway speed of 120km/h, the rev counter should show around 3000RPM, which isn't catashtrophic but it could sting your fue ...

    The Ford Focus holds the road nicely, I used to own a Ford Puma and the drive just doesnt compare, you drive a car in which you feel safe in, even in poor conditions.

    Well worth a test drive if thinking of getting a new car

    The Focus is a great car at good price, very good handling, especially in winter...
    Definitely worth it - fully recommended!

    I am satisfied with the purchase of this particular vehicle. Drives really well and does long distances reliably. It's a comfortable car inside. On the downside, however, some parts of the interior wears away quite easily. Sun Visors the plastic hold parts basically fall apart with just taking a little sun. The steering wheel also melts with a little heat from the sun. My seat warmers could work better - it's very weak.

    Love the looks and enjoy driving it. I drove my Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia 5dr for 14 hours without stop once and never felt tired. I have the Ghia version with all the extras and the accessories I have are simply spoiling me.

    One drawback is the fuel consumption. Never managed to go under 8 Lt/100km even at low speed on highway cruise. My 2.0 Lt. Opel Vectra Automatic can live on 6,5 Lt/100km under similar conditions. The gearbox kicks down unnecessarily early, causing the engine to rev very highly ...

    Hi, I have a Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia 5dr2006 model and it's a wonderful car in its series, so I recommend every one who wants to buy a 1.6 Ltr. car to test Ford Focus before buying any car.

    I purchased my 1.6 Ford Focus Ghia Family Car in October 2003, its been totally reliable and has never been in the garage except for normal servicing. Averaging 41mpg and still on original tires.

    The Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia 5dr family car has a few minor glitches but overall a good looking car with good performance. Well worth the money.

    I brought the car in 1999 and have loved it since. This is the Ghia version ( 1.6). Having driven the Golf, I think that time will show the Focus will prove to be a superior car. It has lost none of it's driveability and still feels like new. Yes, I have serviced it regularly. I have also driven other cars ( Mercedes C Class and Audi A3) and have found them poor in comparison. The test drives were with a need to upgrade but I think Focus drivers will be hard driven to find a better car. Superb p ...
