1999 Ford Focus Ghia Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking sump gasket.
Knocking on heater system (sticking valve).
Recall on alternator.
General comments?
A very nice car, but considering it's won so many awards it's not the car I thought I was buying. It's everything you'd expect from a £15,000 car and nothing more. Out of interest my last car was a Vectra 1.8 GLS and the Focus is only now just as good as the Vectra was, but this is after owning it for six months.
