1999 Ford Focus Estate review from UK and Ireland
"A good value for money buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's seat belt frayed.
General comments?
An excellent all round car so far. I've had it for 6 months.
Fairly comfortable, although it did give a me a bit of a stiff back after 14 hours to the South of France (possibly to be expected!).
One of the things I don't like about it is the size of the rear screen wiper - it wipes such a small proportion of the rear screen, and on the motorway etc, the back of the estate gets a lot of water on it.
The estate is very versatile from 5 people to all the equipment required for a bouncy boxing ring and castle (including blower units etc).
