Faults:

Some problems in the transmission. It cost me about $350. Nothing else.

General Comments:

Very good handling, probably the best handling car of its segment. It's superb now, after a modification.

The performance's only good (9.2 sec. 0-100km/h acceleration) A 2 liters engine could have been better (only 130 HP.) The transmission is something between sport and family car.

As comfortable as a compact car.. The rear seats are surprisingly comfortable, having enough legroom even for a man 185 (6'1") tall.

The worst thing is, you don't see the ends of the car; severe problems with parking. also the mirrors are not good enough, yet you get used to it..

Faults:

- Lumbar support wheel mechanism of the driver's seat is broken. (User fault)

- Original tires need to be replaced.

-I've been told by the service that snow chains cannot be fitted to Focuses as they might possibly damage the ABS sensors on the brake calipers. I wonder if it's true-sounds a bit odd to me..

General Comments:

-I'm very pleased with it: It's spacious, engine is refined and operates smoothly and driving ability and handling is keen.

-The fascia is ergonomically designed and is definitely user-friendly.

-Velor upholstery is comfortable and the light gray color adds airiness.

-Audio system is generous in sound quality.

-Exterior design is a pleasure to look at.

- Although equipment level is satisfying, I wish it was equipped with front fog lamps too. My country's roads are full of topographical surface of any kind and it is a must to have fog lamps at night.

Faults:

The car simply is great for handling, but it just gives you too much confidence.

I experienced trouble with the smart engine as the engine had to be driven 23 km to learn the new driving habits of driver.

The car cannot top 218 km/h speed. It just can's. It's a sporty car with 2.0 engine, but a lame 130 HP. Had to install a chip. I used a regular program which simply made gear ratios a bit more reactive. Then used a program readied for high degree cams. That was fine. Best result came with a special program designed for a Group N Focus Sport.

General Comments:

Lovely car. It's of high quality. Nice design. But it has poor engine. ECO-TEC engine just can't cut it, no GTi feel unless you install a chip.

Faults:

Nothing so far.

General Comments:

I wish it was equipped with front fog lamps and board computer as standard.

The car's very generous in space - it can easily seat up to 5 people.

Engine performance, road grip and braking power is very well.

The gearbox operates smoothly.

The styling is attractive.
