Driving
Car was supplied with optional Ford/Eibach sports springs, so it handles like a dream.
Performance
Was disappointed with outright performance until a Super Chip was fitted. It now gives 141BHP. (11 more than the std 2.0).

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. Always works, so do all the toys.
Image
Focus looks stunning in the Collection bodykit, Really does suit the shape and gets loads of looks.
Comfort
Suspension is firm, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Security and Service
Security
Seems very good, immobiliser and alarm work well.
Service
Excellent. Ford have finally got their act together. Build quality etc is great. If this car had a BMW badge on it people would be queuing up to buy it.
