General Comments
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.



Overall a quiet family car with lots of comfort but a little small inside, considering the external dimensions. Front seats are also a little bit too small and support on the spine is very poor. Lumber support is absolutely useless.



I would recommend this car but not 100%, maybe 80 or even less.
