1999 Ford Focus LX review from UK and Ireland
"A brilliant car, buy one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problem was quite major when the driver's door refused to shut. It turned out the car had missed a recall to have new door latches fitted and this was carried out free of charge. Better late than never.
General comments?
A truly fantastic car, from its futuristic looks to its punchy engine. The best car Ford have ever made and what an improvement on the Escort.
