1999 Ford Focus Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Yawn yawn yawn"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as of yet.
General comments?
Not as good as it is made out to be. Uncomfortable, hard seats, you sit too high so you feel like you're in a 4x4, dashboard WAY too big - seems like miles of plastic in front of you, you can't see the end of the bonnet.
Too quiet - so no idea of what's going on under the car, engine dull and lifeless, no character whatsoever.
However, good ride, handling excellent, very brisk well laid out dash apart from the size.
I don't think the styling is that dramatic - it just looks like another modern car - YAWN.
