Faults:

No major issues since I have owned the car; just had it serviced and only needed tyres at its MOT.

General Comments:

What to say about the modern Focus... not much. Typical modern car, it does everything you need, there is nothing to dislike about this car, if all you want is ease of ownership and family friendly motoring.

Love the look of the car, mine is dark blue. Wheels are very nice. Interior is dull and grey, but being the Titanium which is near top of range, it has electric everything. Comfortable as well.

1.5 TDCi is a great engine, plenty of punch and easily will do over 60 MPG.

Planning on keeping this long term (not keen on the very latest newer Focus) and this one will easily last if I look after it - neighbor still has his 2003 Ford Focus with over 150,000 miles on it! This car should reach that age and mileage no problem.

Nothing since it isn’t even 2 years old.

General Comments:

I bought the Ford Focus new in 2017 for 16k dollars out the door. It is the base S model.

Anyway, nothing has gone wrong so far; it isn’t even 2 years old. The 2005 Mustang I traded in for it had 135k miles on it and was still running strong. But I needed four doors but still wanted something lively to drive. So far the Focus has been excellent. It has plenty of power and really good handling/suspension. The cabin isn’t noisy on the highways like you would expect from a compact car, and after driving 7 hours in it I do not feel tired.

I do have the DCT transmission, which some people have complained about. But I never had an issue with it. It does sometimes make some funny noises for an auto, but not unusual for a manual that's in the wrong gear. But this only happens seldomly when you are accelerating from a stop.
