2005 Ford Focus Petrol Manual Hatchback by Focus • 24th May 2013
Excellent car, so comfortable and smooth around town or at motorway speed, lots of space inside and high roof makes if feel even more spacious. Ours is sport model so v well kitted out with extras like air con, electric windows etc all the toys a modern car needs and German quality feel to interior. Really good size boot for this class of car a lot more space and bigger opening than a lot of rivals. Nice strong comfortable car allround

very good engine but can have its faults such as power steering pipe had to be replaced twice plugs every month due to ford designers being to lazy and cheap to put a engine cover on the engine supose they need to save the extra 5er , would i buy another 1 ? mybe in deisel had the 2010 model for a month it was worse

2004 Ford Focus Diesel Manual Hatchback by S & A • 26th October 2012
Bought this Focus in 2005 aged 16 months with about 10k on the clock. 1.8 TDCi Zetec 115. Car never let us down at any point. Properly serviced at the recommended intervals and nothing ever went wrong. Treat a car well and I doubt it will let you down. Sold at around 90,000 miles last year and will be good for another 100k im sure. Upgraged to a new model 1.6 TDCi Titanium and so far another lovely Ford. No costs to date. Would have no hesitation buying another. Cant understand why people expect to be able to run a car into the ground and expect it to provide loyal cost free service.
2006 Ford Focus Diesel Manual Hatchback by not too happy • 4th October 2012
Bought a 2006 1.6 tdci focus in january 12. Had quite a few problems with it. Spent approx £500 in 9 months and has been very hard on diesel, which I wasn't expecting. Had to get a new starter motor a few weeks ago and its now running better and is definitely easier on fuel (no idea why a new starter motor would make it run better though). Up until this I could happily have taken a box of matches and a gallon of petrol to it, just to be shot of it, but I'm slightly happier now its running better. Would think very carefully before buying another Ford.... I'm basing the review on the first 9 months experience.. Maybe in another few months if it keeps going as well as it now the review would be a lot higher..

2003 Ford Focus Diesel Manual Hatchback by Jackie72 • 5th May 2012
Ball of dung!! I had a black 03 Focus 1.8 TDCi 115 Zetec which I bought with 93k on the clock, F.F.S.H and one lady owner. Ok it was a nice enough driving car and it was pretty nippy but that's where the good points end. Thank god the fella I bought it from was dead on and his brother was a mechanic, he always got any problems fixed for me. Though at one stage not even Lindsay Ford in Craigavon couldn't find the fault with it. On a normal summers morning the car would struggle to start after new injectors and battery and when it did start, a lot of black and blue smoke came out of it. Anyway, the gearbox was done after 110k and the clutch was on its way out too. Thankfully I wrote the car off and got exactly what I paid for it 2 years earlier through insurance. My neighbour has the exact same engine in his 2004 MK1 Focus and it's giving huge problems, I only thought mine was bad.. Stay well away from Ford!
Excellent car, real nice drive, V easy run and maintained
100%
2005 Ford Focus Diesel Manual 5 speed Hatchback by Focus • 2nd January 2012
I've had my 1.6 diesel focus for 2 years now, great car all round. bought this car because of its value for money. Great size diesel engined car for alot less than german or japanese options. Its really grown on me, can not fault it, confortable drive and very easy run I always get 50+ MPG irrespective of how heavy my right foot gets. Parts and service costs are very reasonable. 1.6 TDCI is great engine with smooth acceleration and a boost of power where you need it for overtaking. Cabin has loads of space and loads of headroom and great size boot. The seating position is great all passengers have confortable high seating with great visability drivers seat is heaght adjustable and stearing wheel hieght and distance adjustable to get perfect confortable driving position. The centre arm rest is a nice extra on zetec spec or higher, mine being LX didn't have one but I sourced one from breakers yard for £50. The LX spec cars do not have trip computer with Avg MPG and outside temp meter which is a little missed in winter months but the standard heated front screen is fantastic, great for clearing mist quickly and can even defrost frost and snow from the windscreen at temps where deicing spray or hot water just refreeze.
