Summary

Recommended. The impressive Focus is all things to all men, as worldwide sales figures bear out. From twisty roads to motorways, it's a great drive.

Review

There's not a lot wrong with the Focus, hence its continued success. Recent tweaks have enhanced its stance and the range now includes a jaw-droppingly quick RS version. All models provide seriously good ride and handling, coupled with sharp steering. There's masses of space inside the cabin, and although the quality of materials used is not high-calibre, this really is the only gripe. A decent selection of engines is available, but the TDCi turbodiesel is outstanding. The Focus doesn't hold its value so well on the secondhand market, however, and that's where the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and VW Golf claw back some ground.
