2003 Ford Focus Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Economical 0-60 in below 10 seconds (500 plus miles to the tank)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small Oil Leak due to a Gasket Leak.
General comments?
A very good car, OK it has had a little oil leak, but the dealer did not delay and within 24hrs I had the car back. It is my first deisel and I would honestly say, wow it helps the wallet. The performance on the car is not super car like, but when a deisel does 0-60 below 10 sec and gives around 500 - 550 miles to a tank full, you have to be amazed.
The car comes with air con, climate control, traction control, heated front screen, 6 disc remote cd player... it is a bargain at the price, compared to a similar spec BMW or Golf it works out a lot mor economical (may be I am getting a little over the top because fords do lose value quick). It is a must if you are on a budget for a new car and you want economy...
