We drive the new Ford Focus. Is it any good? Oliver: I resent Ford as a company. My dad who has been in the auto industry for some 50 years tells you stories of how corrupt Ford were and still are today, especially regarding cost cutting measures. They used to have competition on the workshops and give money rewards to whoever could design a part as cheaply as possible, like holding the glovebox in place with 2 rivets instead of 6. Why couldn't ford fit the focus with better sound insulation, windows and door seals when this shape was launched? I'll stick with VW for now. I have a 13' golf and a 2002 A3 TDI which I use the most and I regularly get 50mpg. 27. 3 is not much better than a lot of V6's built 10 to 15 years ago, difference is, they had a lot more punch. Small engines have to work so hard, where as a large engine in a small car like a 1. 9 in a golf sized car runs at idle all the time. Also, in what condition is that engine going to be in in 8 or 10 years time for wear and tear?

The issue is people don't know how to drive economically! I get 46. 5 mpg out of my 134hp 1. 6 fiesta which is a mix of round town and Highway about 60/40. That just 1mpg less than the combined figure. I have had it up to 56mpg on a motorway journey.
No matter how efficient the engine is, if you can't drive efficiently then your never get good mpg.

Oh shit, you can tell the americans had something to do with the interior. because they've ruined it. Old steering wheel was much nicer, and the central console now looks bland and empty, especially the upper part with the sat-nav. Please Ford Europe, don't let americans work on cars that were designed for our market.

The 1l ecoboost is ok for the fiesta but it has to pull an extra 200kg in the focus. drive it aggressively uphill in mountains and the engine will be in constant boost.

My brother has this mad notion that all ford focus cars strip the teeth on the flywheel, all VW's have noisey gearboxes and the gearbox in all VW's break easily.

Why do Ford persist with the 90s style bee sting aerials? New cars look quite dated with these and should be pointed out by the testers,

I haven't liked the styling since my MK1 which i liked a lot, this one is big improvement over the previous
Nice looking car!
