2007 Ford Focus Zetec Climate review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
Lovely car. I wish I had bought one of these back in 2004 when I last changed.
Beautifully smooth and quiet VCT-ti engine. Almost inaudible at idle. Quite economical as well, 36MPG local journeys, 46MPG motorway at asteady 70MPG.
Seats a bit hard but not bad.
Spacious cabin and well shaped boot.
Ride, handling, steering, gearchange and engine are all absolutely top grade. The build quality is very good as well.
Brakes need a fairly heavy push to get them to stop quickly but you get used to it.
Road noise suppression could be better - change of tyres may help.
Overall this is a fantastic car and massively better than my previous car which was badly built and pitifully unreliable.
