“A very practical family car. It's a shopping cart, comfortable long-distance cruiser and spirited B-road performer. It's a bit of a bargain, too!”

“It is a great driver's car, probably the best I have ever owned. The Sport specs are excellent and you get a great deal for your money, arguably the best car in its class for that! I would buy another, but probably the saloon version next time, not the hatchback. ”

“Very pleased with the car. It has plenty of room inside. If there is one criticism it would have to be the road noise.”

“Excellent medium family car. The VVT-i engine makes driving a doddle, and the extra power is there if you rev hard. It looks good, too!”

“Performance is reasonable but sometimes I find myself really having to push the engine to overtake and get the speed up when joining the motorway. Suffers from understeer when pushed and not as comfortable as I expected it to be, especially as the Focus it shares the suspension set up with is so much better. ”

“It's the best car I have owned, with a good range of mod cons for the price. I would recommend this car.”
