1998 Ford Focus Ghia 5 door review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator, door latches. Both problems were manufacturer's recall situations and were dealt with promptly by the dealer.
General comments?
My work takes me countrywide, this car has stood in queues on hot days on the M25 and got me safely over mountain roads in horrendous winter weather in the highlands of Scotland,and never let me down. It's a pleasure to drive.
