1998 Ford Focus LX review from UK and Ireland
"A perfect family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front torsion link bar needed to be replaced 150 miles ago.
Squeak when raising the driver's side window.
Rattles from the tailgate area.
General comments?
My first Ford and I love it.
The 1.8 engine is a little rev happy, but goes like a train from 4000rpm.
Problem with wheel spin in the wet.
Boot space could be bigger.
