    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    All the toys you need. Over the shoulder vision is impaired by the door pillar.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not hot, but very warm for a family sized hatch. Surprises a few at the lights when floored.

  • Living with it

    The three-door is the best looking Focus, without a doubt.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Large doors make reaching for seatbelt difficult. Lovely seats. Air con is a must.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    No alarm fitted as standard, but are they worth having anyway? Deadlocks and immobiliser as standard are enough I think.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Dealer was excellent. I was undecided between new or nearly new and the salesman could deal with either. This is NOT the case in the majority of dealerships with various manufacturers.
