Advantages: Spaceous, Excellent Handling, Low Insurance Group, Comfortable and Stylish. Disadvantages: Has the family stigma attached to it which does not do it justice.
and made it as interesting as the exterior, with curves everywhere! This makes the dashboard still look modern and interesting; unlike in many cars where it looks dated when styles change.
The seats are grey with a basic pattern on them. The pattern does not stand out and the seats look quite smart. They are extremely comfortable to sit in and are good on long distance journeys. I regularly drive between London and Norwich without any problems. It helps that the height is adjustable on the driver seat and the backrests can recline on both of the front seats. The rear seats have head rests including the middle seat.
The styling in the Focus Zetec includes silver door card trim, a silver radio and heater control surround along with a silver gear knob. The standard entertainment in the focus comes in the form of a CD player with steering ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Ford Focus 1.6
Advantages: Loves corners! Disadvantages: Could do with more boot space.
I have been the owner of a Focus 1.6 Zetec for 2 years now. I am still very impressed with it's handling and tends to make you look for long winding roads. The seats in the Zetec have side and lumber supports to really hold you in place. The adjustable steering column moves up & down & in and out, so that a comfortable position can be found by most drivers.
With it's Metallic paint & Alloy wheels the styling is really set off.
It is a drivers car, and I would recommend any one to test drive one to compare against other manufactures alternatives.
Would I buy another one? Yes, especially when the equivalent to the Renault Scenic comes out.
Happy motoring, Beefy.
Update, the latest on the new Focus C-Max. Now due out October/November with 3 Diesel engine options as well as the current petrol, Zetec engines. New TDCI 2litre ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Ford Focus 1.6
Advantages: Great handling Disadvantages: The boot is SLIGHTLY too small.
The moment I sat in the car I was very comfortable. EVERYTHING was within easy reach and felt solid to the touch. When I moved off, all the controls were light YET were more communicative than an international telephone exchange! The engine whispered nicely, behaving itself in public. It was the 1.6 Zetec version, a great motor indeed. The gearshift slotted home precisely every time I touched it, while the driveline picked up smoothly. There was plenty of room in the cabin, though possibly at the expense of boot space.
Amazingly, all that was bettered by the suspension which dished up such a composed ride while delivering an almost level cornering stance throuhg every corner. I was extremely impressed by that car! ...
