1999 Ford Focus Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"The most symbolic hatch since the VW Golf"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Just purchased the car a couple of weeks ago, so a comparison with my previous vehicle is most valid.. GTV Alfa, a super coupe, however the Focus on first impressions is equally, if not more impressive. Handling is simply superb for this design of car, the interior roomy and the dash well designed, the only thing lacking is a bit of character in the engine dept. If only Ford could build engines like the Italians...
