Ford Focus 1.8tdci zetec 2009

This is my fourth Focus and my second diesel. All have been ultra reliable and brilliant to drive. So far no problems at all and I enjoy driving it every time I go out. Diesels get over 50 mpg and considering how they whizz along this is quite remarkable. I find comments on bulid quality a bit unfair as they are often compared to VWs when thay are not in that price bracket. Buy a second hand one and you get a real bargain. You really have to take one on a quick sprint along some twisty B roads to appreciate the handling.

Ford Focus 1.6 100 Zetec Sport 2009

Bought my Focus in 2009 from Linsday Ford in Craigavon. With 33,000 Miles on the car I am far from pleased with the car. Firstly you can’t carry petrol to it, I am constantly putting petrol in it. Secondly I don’t find the seats comfortable on long journeys and tend to have a sore rear end. Also on anything but the smoothest surfaces the road noise is unbearable and you tend to be turning up the radio quite loud. Lastly the cabin quality isn’t anything to shout about, the lower dash and door panels are very scratchy and quite uninspiring to look at. Moreover, I have had a few electrical glitches where the radio sometimes wouldn’t work or the door locks wouldnt flick open. Also the heated windscreen is bit of a gimmick, the heater in my wifes 2004 307 CC demists the windscreen faster in the cold mornings. Overall I wish I didn’t buy the car, I was looking at a new Peugoet 308 or Astra and I wish I bought one of them instead!

Ford Focus Zetec 1.6d Sport 2009

Got this with sat nav, tinted windows and I love it. Never had a problem, had it serviced first time last month (on a 09 plate!) still drives like new. Sometimes a bit gutless when pulling away if you don’t quite catch it but only £30 a year road tax on a 1.6 diesel, i’ll put up with it. Overall excellent car.

Ford Focus Zetec 1.6 2009

I have bought a 10 month old Ford Focus Zetec 1.6, prior to that I had a 1.6 Ford Fusion. I am actually getting a better miles to the gallon with the Focus, never below 40 mpg, also its quiter, smoother and more comfortable. On the motorway in fifth gear, if you have to overtake , there is plenty of power there, just have to press the accelarator a little bit more. All in all a great roomy car and a better looker than the original Ford Focus.

Janet Thurling, Lancashire

Ford Focus 2009

Our 2009 Ford Focus decided that after being with us for just TWO weeks it would suddenly roll down our drive with the handbrake FULL on and smash into the drive gates!! The car had been parked for nearly 2 hours when we heard the loud smash. We ran out to find it embedded in the drive gates. FUNNILY enough the dealership we bought it from suddenly wanted nothing to do with us saying it was an insurance job and no concern of theirs!

Ford Focus 1.6 zetec 2009

I’ve had my 1.6 zetec for 9 months I use it for mainly motorway driving, It is great for long journeys and has the speed when you need it, I just wish it was better on fuel as now looking for new car.

Ford Focus ZETEC S 2009

I’ve never had any problems with the Focus and I have owned quite a few. This model is sporty and eye-catching. A great car to drive.
