2003 Ford Focus Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"The best car in its class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
These are great cars, this is my second Focus. I looked at other cars in its class and the only one that came anywhere near close was the Peugeot 307.
Performance is excellent for a diesel, its definitely quicker than my previous 1.6, especially on the motorway. Economy seems to be good. Its also very refined for a diesel.
The only real gripe I have about the Focus is the lack of standard ABS.
Otherwise I can't think of anything that comes close for the money.
