2000 Ford Focus LX 1.6 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Twice as satisfying as a VW
Faults:
Driver's remote centrol locking failed.
Windscreen wiper judders.
Tiny amount of rust on one rear door.
General Comments:
Cheap as chips to buy and run.
Nearly as economical as most diesels.
Handles well for a family car.
Bulletproof reliability.
Dealers polite, helpful. If only they were cheap.
If you're prepared to put up with the "cheaper" feel of the interior and just how common these cars are - they really are common sense vehicles to own.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I also own a Ford Focus and all I can really say is DO NOT BUY A FORD. I have had nothing, but problems with my Focus and the dealership never wants to know about it.
