Electrical failures are common with the fog lights not working. In addition, a number of product recalls have taken place with defects in the central locking. Dealers tend to be un-co-operative after sales.
The car drives well, although the superlatives by the press are largely undeserved. The gearbox is like cream and at speeds up to 70 miles an hour it is wonderful. At higher speeds, it is ordinary. Be careful of dealer service. It purrs along beautifully on the motorway and is excellent value for money but do not expect it to live up to the hype.
Thanks for your comments they are going to influence my decision regarding the purchase of the car. I had already heard FORD were not reliable and you ratify it.
On the contrary to the previous comment! I think that cars (now-days) have many electronics in them and the comments of the owner are a good balance!
The owners comments have been useful and I will continue my search for a Focus.
Thanks.
