Ford Focus 2500cc RS Hatchback 2010

Currently owned for 8 days / 950 miles:

Having owned a BMW MINI R53 Cooper S for the last 3 1/2 years, it was finally time to move on to something that was just as much fun, but with adequate space for a growing daughter to carry on growing!...

Update one, 7 weeks and 3,746 miles: The RS continues to impress with 30-32mpg averages and (rather than simply getting used to it) the performance is actually getting better, as is the rorty exhaust note! Having just done a 1,300 mile trip in a week, loaded with family and holiday kit, it's also extremely practical and (on road surfaces that are properly maintained) comfortable. The only down sides so far are: 1. The physical size of it. Driving along narrow country lanes and some very narrow B roads in Cumbria, it's very apparent that this is a very wide car; it feels about the same width as a Transit. 2. While we are talking about Cumbria, many of the road surfaces there were shockingly bad; the local authority should hang its head in shame! The very firm suspension is normally perfectly good but, take it to a county with Third World levels of road maintenance and it take your fillings out or, at the very least, limit you to 30 mph. 3. My single contact with Ford Customer Service has reminded me that they simply have no idea how to look after a customer who has spent ВЈ30,000 on their car; anyone who is used to BMW, Mercedes or even MINI levels of service will be in for a shock. For instance, I contacted them to talk about the fact that in order to fit a roof rack into their built in roof rack mounting point, I needed to take a screwdriver and chisel (!) to the roof to remove substantial quantities of rust and waterproofing gunk to even get to the rack mounting point - something I gave up on because of the damage I was having to do to my car. When I spoke to them about it, they said that that's just the way it was and, because no one else had complained about it, they didn't consider my complaint was valid! To be fair, I had always expected customer service at virtually Citroen levels, but thought I would be okay as long as I didn't venture near to a dealer for anything other than emergencies! This sounds like I'm an unhappy customer, but I'm not. I'm very happy with the car still (it's still a 4 peach car as far as I'm concerned!), but I'm just aware of the limitations imposed by its size, its firm suspension and by the disappointing levels of customer service that are inevitable when Ford tries to directly compete in the premium car business.

Ford Focus 1600cc LX Hatchback 2006

Bought the car second hand, from main dealer, with a promotional discount - so off to quite a good start.

Handling is very solid, and the car feels immensely secure on the road. The downside is that there is quite a lot of road noise.

Ford Focus 1800cc Zetec Hatchback 2001

It is a very average car to drive with lots of wind and road noise. My main concern is the poor paintwork round the bottom of the doors and wheel arches. I have been a spray painter for 20 years and I have a 51 plate Focus and all 4 doors are rotte...

The most reliable car I've ever owned. It provides a comfortable ride with a good clear view through the windscreen as the seat seems to be positioned high up which is great as I'm not that tall. Many extras came with the car including heated front...

UPDATE:
Now had the car for 5 years and it has definitely improved with age. Has sailed through every MOT and is fairly good on petrol now (about 35MPG) after an ECU update by my mechanic. I've just passed 70K miles and there have been no further problems (apart from general wear & tear items - tyres, brakes, etc.) Still disappointed with the quality of the interior and the seats mark very easily and are difficult to clean. Will change the car next year (hopefully) but I still don't think I'd buy another. Revised rating: 2 Peaches from 1 Lemon.
