1999 Ford Focus LX 5dr Hatchback review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only an occasional opening of the rear hatch at speed due to a faulty interior release switch; pain in the neck! 5000m so far so it's early days yet.
General comments?
Generally a fairly good car but not as good as I expected. It consumes more fuel and is much noisier than I thought it would be especially in respect of road/tyre noise. The 1800 Mondeo is MUCH better.
CD player is excellent.
