Ford Focus Estate (2011 - 2018) 1.0 EcoBoost Zetec Navigator 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
This has been a fabulous car. It’s efficient, cheap to run, surprisingly nippy and got great boot space.
It was fantastic for a family of three, but a bit small once another baby came along. Leg space in the back is very limited, but made up for with the boot space.
I’ve loved owning it… but you live on a knife edge of the worry of the dangerous eco boost engine. A quick google will tell you the massive flaws with the coolant running way too hot, causing the degas hose to leak into the engine and boom, quite literally. Unfortunately, all garages know this, so the residual value of these fab cars with disposable engines is pretty low.
Two coolant scares was enough for me to trade it in before it was broken and worthless.
