Driving
The best small hatch I have driven. Excellent ride and handling even after 30,000 miles.
Performance
1.8 is smooth and has lots of grunt. Quite sprightly in 3rd.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No faults whatsoever. Not a squeek or rattle to be heard.
Image
Very common but 'new edge' styling will mean it never looks anonymous.
Comfort
Excellent cabin. Ergonomics are great and head and legroom are good all round.

Security and Service
Security
A thief tried to gain entry but couldn't get past the locks.
Service
Worst part of Focus ownership. Unreliable service, uncompetitive prices and you are charged for things they haven't done.
