Ford Focus (old)

The Focus MkI is slipping down the Top 100, but it still turned in a respectable score. Ford’s family favourite has been hit by reliability issues, yet more worryingly, you don’t rate its brakes. A result of 85th is terrible for a former UK best-seller. Comfort has also come in for a panning, but you’re impressed with the running costs and handling.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Despite brilliant cars such as the Focus, Mondeo and S-MAX, you tell us that Fords are uncomfortable, slow and have poor brakes. Perhaps their showroom appeal just doesn’t last long.
