| Description |
| Recommended. The second generation of Ford's family hatch keeps the exemplary drivingdynamics of the original, but tones down the styling and improves the interior quality. |

| Contrà´le technique |
| Making the Focus better was always going to be a hard task for Ford, such were the manifest talents of the original. Fortunately, in most of the areas where it had to improve, the Mark 2 is far better. Interior quality has been dramatically improved and the cabin is spacious, decently trimmed and feels durable - at least in the front; rear seat passengers have to deal with some very fragile-feeling trim. Driving dynamics remain outstanding thanks to ultra-accurate steering, a comfortable, well-damped ride and decent performance from all but the base 1.4 litre petrol engine. Diesel engines are excellent, the basic 1.6 litre unit providing a healthy 107 bhp and the more-powerful 2.0 litre offering a very competitive 134 bhp. The tail-heavy styling of the hatchback will not be to all tastes, but it does give the Focus decent luggage space. Superficially attractive entry-level pricing is undermined by stingy standard - buyers are expected to pay more for air conditioning, now standard on most of the Focus's rivals. Depreciation is currently untested, but is likely to be good by class standards. |
