1999 Ford Focus ESTATE review from UK and Ireland
"Overall a solid car, which feels safe and handles very well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a lot really, have replaced all brake pads recently due to wear and tear, Ihave noticed a little corrosion on the back box of the exhaust but nothing really major has gone wrong with the car in general, Its serviced once a year, and hand on heart its a great drive.
General comments?
Smooth drive
good handling
quite comfortable
ghia model with the extras like 6cd player is a nice feature with all thge tools at your finger tips.
It is very nippy moving out of first gear.
The dashboard has been well thought out by ford this time with everything to hand,
loads of boot space although not as much as my mondeo estate I had before.
You feel safe in the car it feels very solid.
