I have the Focus Trend 1.6 Pack Sport and I really dig it. I was happy to see this expert's opinion backgrounding what I always felt about the car: precise, sharp turning and extreme stability even on bumpy roads. I really like my car :D
I am have ordered new focus titanium to replace my mark v golf, hope it is the right move as that was a solid good handling car. Just fancied the look of the focus over the golf vi. Which to me is a little dull for the money. 4 door focus looks alot more car for the money and great boot. Fingers crossed.
Great car, i think one of the best Ford has ever made so far.. Driving it for 20k Km now and everday it a comfort joy. Looks whery cool to. And the RS version is sick.
Plus it is a car manufactured for a long period, thus it has been tested. I highly esteemed that they changed only the profile and not much of the mechanical parts (when they change a lot at 1 go, problems always are at the corner).
I suggest to American guys to wait (if possible) and buy the European Focus next year, the American is simply a lesser car (and cannot see the reason why they did this - it must have something to do with supply chain, production and such)
I configured the equivalent Peugeot to my Focus Titanium 1800cc and despite choosing for the 1600cc 110hp - the price they would tell me was around 20,000.... still 2000 more expensive than a better car! Citroen C4 was even worse... no bargains there... But it was when I drove the Focus that I understood that there is no need to even talk about it...
Not to mention the looks! The 308 while a generally good and very comfortable car is ugly as hell both outside and inside.
I am running over easy highways so I opted for the 1800cc not for its 115hp (90hp in diesel is enough for these cars + they are cheaper 1000e and have cheaper insurances), but because the 1600hp diesel is the Peugeot HDI. The 1800 is a traditional Ford TDI. The HDI is an excellent diesel since it really low-noise with linear power, amazing overall performance, but... it works at slightly higher revs so these come at cost of the main diesel advantage: longetivity of motor.
Despite being a fan of gazoline motors and been searching so far an affordable city-car, my revisioned forecast of 30,000km/year meant I should get a Diesel compact car if I want to keep it for long.
No questions! As much as I tried to buy French, Ford Focus 1800 TDCI Titanium at 18000 euros was the best by far - and at an excellent price!
my god, the answer to ford US woes is just in its backyard. what is the official reason why they won't bring the euro focus stateside? is it the union?
i agree mate the focuses they have over here in australia are a lot better lookin and maybe a better car in general than the ones in the US ,i went 4 a test drive wif my sis in a TDCI focus and its a very impressive car in every aspect

From what I read the Euro version of the focus is really good quality and fun to drive. But I think the design looks very weak. It kind of reminds me of a 2003 Toyota or Hyundai. Personal I like the redesign American focus design better, even though I know the euro version is better on the road. But I'm American and this car is European so guess this car looks good over there.
this guy is talking threw his ass !! the focus is a great car and there was never anything wrong with the way it looked .. i personaly think the very 1st mk1 version of the focus is the best ! the only thing i like about the newer focus models is the nicer interior and more space!

My brother got same one, 1.8 tdci, dark red. Awsome car.
Handling, interior, space in it.
Some people complain about the plastic inside the car, but I think that is quality made.
How do you like interior?

They should sell the diesel in Canada. The only diesel cars here are VW's and its impossible to find a used one.
