2017 Ford Focus ST-Line 1.5 TDCi from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Quick and economical!
Faults:
Nothing in my first year or so of ownership, though the previous owner repaired a faulty turbo and fixed a small oil leak according to its history.
General Comments:
This ST-Line Focus looks great in dark grey, I really like this car.
Good to drive, feels quicker than it probably is, also manages 55 mpg + no matter how you drive it! The 1.5 diesel engine is the one to have, I'd avoid the smaller petrol 1.0 Eco boost units, they can be troublesome (neighbor has one and it's never out the repair shop!).
Interior nicely styled, sporty touches here and there, great seats for long journeys. Android auto center dash and controls take a bit of getting used to however.
It's solid, modern, fun to drive and economical; the Focus is pretty much perfect transport for anyone.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

No way does the petrol engine in this car do 50 - 60 mpg, you'd need diesel for that! I have driven a couple of these Eco boost petrol engine cars and never got more than 46 mpg at best from them, which is still pretty good for petrol. Realistically, most people never get near the claimed averages with city driving in any car.
