Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet CC3 2008

4 star review

Traded our 06 Focus Titanium in for a 58 plate CC3 at our local Ford dealership (Rates) on Saturday morning... it broke down on Sunday afternoon with total loss of power steering making navigating the extremely narrow winding roads we were on very hazardous! I phoned Rates who said bring it in to servicing. Monday, got in it today and it is driving like a dream again, I don’t really know what to do about it now! If I take it in to Rates from past experience they won’t find any fault until it is out of warranty anyway. Other than that I Love the car - just hate Ford Motor Company. Ashamed to say I worked for them for 18 years.

After reading reports on the leaking roof up to the 2008 model... I was wondering... has the leak on the newest models been sorted as I am thinking of buying one?

Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet CC3 TDCi 2008

4 star review

I have owned my CC3 since October 2008, very pleased with the car, handles beautifully, there have been no leaks on my car to date. If you are thinking of buying, you run the risk of leaking (haven’t had the roof down yet though, although I know of later CC’s that leak). If you are considering buying one, parking sensors are a must as you cant see much out the rear window. Boot space is more than adequate, I can get two weeks worth of shopping in. I’ve put 18" Alloys on, the only downside is I get a little road noise between 40-65mph but I’m getting used to it now, just turn the radio up!! The car has adequate space inside as well, I would liken it to a Mondeo, its much more roomier than my husbands MK1 Focus, seats are comfortable (mine are leather), voice control button is a bit of a waste of time though, time you tell the computer what to do, you could have done it 20 seconds earlier by pressing a button!

Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet CC2 2008

4 star review

The car performs perfectly. All the features work. It handles well and fulfils all the manufacturers claims. Seats are comfortable. Space is good at front and adequate in rear. Only slight problem is judging distance behind car when reversing but this is just a matter of getting used to size of boot. Fuel consumption for 2litre car is satisfactory. It has all the advantages of a two seater sports car with the added bonus of additional storage space or space for two extra passengers.

Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet cc3 2 litre diesel 2008

1 star review

We bought a cc3 2 litre diesel in march 2008 and since then it has been to the garage 6 times to have the leak repaired and guess what? It’s leaking yet again and that’s not even mentioning the creaking roof. With Ford being as big a company that it is I expected this to be resolved quite quickly but no; I’ve been passed from pillar to post and now that we want to reject the car they are saying we’ve got no right to do that but when they took £20,000 of our money for a car that is as defective as it is I think we’ve got every right; it’s a good job we have got leather seats or my upholstery would be destroyed by now and my car would stink. Overall though; if anyone asked me would I recommend the car I’d still say definitely NO - NO! I think they should just give up with these cars and scrap the lot and try again.

Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet Titanium Diesel 2008

5 star review

I bought this car in Spain at the beginning of 2008 and in my opinion it is fantastic. Beautiful, good fuel economy, easy to drive, brilliant roof and good inside details. I definitely recommend this gorgeous car.

Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet 2008

5 star review

Having read ’Nigel’s’ summary I really wasn’t sure he had tested the right car....it seems to me the way his report was written was so we could all admire his literary talents rather than an assessment of a motor vehicle. Having tested the entire range I opted for the CC3 2 litre petrol manual version and have never been happier with a convertible. For the price the quality is superb and the car always gathers an admiring crowd when left parked whether the roof be down or up. I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering buying and would also suggest Nigel gives up the pizzas and starts consuming humble pie instead.

Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet 2.0 Automatic 2008

1 star review

When this car arrived I was initially mistaken that the front was the back, the bonnet measures 2’6" whilst the boot, although unmeasured (I only had my wifes sewing kit tape, and it wasn’t long enough), looked to be approx 12". I decided to take my eldest son with me, I opened the door, worked the mechanism for the seat to come forward, so he could get in the back, I nearly lost my thumb as the seat shot forward with all the force of a blunder bus propelling forward at an alarming rate, almost like an ejector seat facing the wrong way. The sculptured seat was better suited to the catwalk, not in style, simply was built for a size zero. I decided we would go to Tesco, the roof release was easy to operate, all I can say is , its a good job its 24 hour opening, that said we were on our way. The Auto box seemed to be straight from an 81 on the W Volvo 343 GL. The gear change was as seamless as Doctor Frankensteins stitching, I was left wondering whether the seat forward mechanism was also part of the gear box as it had the same motion, Like a giant elastic band. We did our shop, returned to the car, I went to put the shopping in the boot, luckily for us Geoff Capes was loading his car next to us and helped raise the boot lid as it was like raising a double up and over garage door with a faulty mechanism, I couldn’t help wondering if they had used the seat mechanism on it I could have loaded the lid and fired the shopping home, yet incredibly for space because of the roof, you have to squash all your shopping into a 6" void. This would be an ideal pizza delivery vehicle as we thought we could probably get 22, 15" pepperoni in their. I can not determine fuel economy as I never went out in it again, as I was being treated for minor whiplash
