2005 Ford Focus Ghia review from Turkey
"Good car for everyday use"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong at all.
General comments?
Steering response is very quick, however there is absolutely oversteer problem with the high speed cornering
(No ESP, contisport contact2 tyres)
ABS gets into action very quickly, brake pedal is harder than the previous focus and the brake pedal travel is longer when compared with vw and opel.
Engine sound is excellent (1.6 115ps). gear ratios are shorter than focus1, however there is no obvious performance difference, because of increased vehicle weight.
Sound system is excellent with ghia, mp3 player and aux-in port in the gloovebox.
A/C works very well.
