The Entry-Level Model Of Fords Latest Focus Is The 1.4-Litre. Steve Ghosley Takes A Look At Its Credentials
There wasnt very much wrong with the original Ford Focus, so it must have been a daunting task for the designers to come up with an improved model. Having set the bench mark for the sector with the first Focus, the competition didnt take long in responding, so Ford needed to move the game on with the latest generation. The new Focus certainly looks the part but does the entry-level 1.4-litre model we look at here have enough about it to cut the mustard?
With prices starting at ?10,995, this Focus certainly looks good value for money. The 78bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine is not going to set any land speed records but then purchasers of this entry level model have other priorities when selecting their cars. What they do get, however, is a class-leading family hatchback that drives with nearly all the refinement of any luxury saloon and certainly handles a lot better. |
