Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6TDCi Zetec Auto 2004

Purchased the car second hand from Seniors of Market Harborough. First noticed problem after 4 or 5 weeks when the car lost power at 1700 - 2000 revs when starting off. When the power kicked in there was a putter of black smoke coming out of the exhaust. Quite disconcerting! The car went back under warranty and eventually had its computer ECU updated by the local Ford dealer, they hoped this would fix the problem. It didn’t! And whilst I was finding this out, I had one of those power losses which Ford call ’get you home mode’. Fortunately I had just got off a dual carriageway when this happened as it only allows you to go at 20mph. Back to Ford main dealer again on 19th December 2007, they have changed the transmission fluids, checked the wiring and generally cleaned up. However, another test drive showed that the problem is still there. It has now been suggested that the EGR valve needs changing. I am now waiting for Seniors to decide if they want to pay out any more or exchange. C Max has lost all of my confidence. Seniors have been brilliant. They have given me a loan car for the whole period. Cannot praise them enough. But it is now the 12th February 2008 and I am still C Max less.

Ford Focus C-MAX Zetec Diesel Auto 2004

Thought I had the perfect car until it lost power randomly. A really frightening experience. Bought from a car supermarket under warranty. The fiddled with it, had it back three times and then finally sent it to Fords who have had another three attempts. Nearly 4 weeks and still no car. Surely Ford knows about this fault as it’s well documented. My first Ford and hopefully my last.

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Zetec Climate 2005

After months of research I finally decided in Sept 2007 to go for a Focus to upgrade from my Ibiza. Having a diesel was a must for me as it is so much more economical (especially with today’s prices). MPG is great, around 55MPG. It is comfortable, spacious and looks great too. Boot space is especially generous.

Ford Fiesta Style, 5 Door 2005

The ford fiesta is very stylish outside and inside. In the cab there is enough room to seat four adults comfortably the cabin is very spacious and the interior is stylish with little detailing. The silver CD player stands out from the dash board and is a nice feature. To drive it is very nippy in low gears but does tend to struggle at higher speeds. It is very easy to drive and viewing capability is extremely good you can see the corners of the car from driver’s seat and visibility to the rear is very good. The exterior of the car is nice looking with quite wide arches to house the width of the tyre. Two distinct lines run up the bonnet and are a nice feature along with the headlights and chrome grill sets the front of the car nicely. The boot is a little lacking in space and you would struggle to fit luggage for four in the back. Handling in the car is very good with very little body roll through the corners at any speed; the steering is very responsive and with the addition of power steering makes manoeuvring simple. All in all the fiesta is a solid well built super mini perfect for around town driving and can seat 4 passengers comfortably although the boot may be a little lacking you could still fit the weeks shopping in. Perfect for cities but not so suited to the motorway.

Ford Mondeo 2004

My Mondeo at first seems ordinary but you really feel her kick in on motorways, no rattle, no shake, just a smooth effortless drive, and the computer lets me know regarding lights, washer fluid oil etc, and a god send for a busy lady like me. Leather seats beautiful and comfortable, and what can i say the fast defrosting windscreen makes winter mornings easy!!! Heated seats give me a warm start! I feel i have a very luxurious car for my money and am quietly very impressed and pleased.

Ford Focus C-MAX 2ltr ghia tdci 2004

only had it 2 months, 70000 miles on clock, no rds on radio, known fault, back door started to open itself, scary, back window shades don’t retract too good, apart from these minor details this c max is comfortable and very fast, just started with electronic handbrake fault too, doesn’t come off on first push of switch, takes 2 or 3 goes, Japanese equivalents far better, inside and out, but ford engine is better, had a galaxy for 10 years before this and it knocked the spots off the c max

Ford Fusion 2002

We have had our Focus for a couple of years now and it handles most surfaces well with the steering responding to my every request. It is quiet enough engine wise and even inside the car external noise seems minimal. The Focus seems well put together although I find the dashboard on the passenger’s side a little uneasy on the eye. Being able to move the driver’s seat up and down electrically (via a button on the side of the seat), is especially useful when having to make all the necessary adjustments after my wife has been driving. Rear vision is excellent when reversing, with no obstructions. Although there is good headroom, my wife informs me that the Focus is not very comfortable when travelling as a rear passenger, as the suspension seems to struggle (and no it’s not the size of my wife that causes the problem). Overall the Focus has proved to be reliable for me (up to now) and the running costs have been reasonable.
