Summary
FORD'S 2005 Focus had one of the toughest tasks faced by any family car. It's still one of the very finest family hatches around and, from a driver's perspective, is still the one to have. The styling may have become a little lower key but the Focus has, in most of the key areas that count, become a markedly better car. Used examples are now appearing in meaningful numbers and make very decent buys.
Although prices are settling fast, Pounds 5,275 is the kick off point for a second generation Focus, that sum buying you a 1.4- litre Studio hatch. If you're looking for something with a little more engine (and it is recommended), the 1.6-litre Zetec three-door is just dipping under Pounds 5,750 for average mile examples. The 2.0-litre petrol engines have proven surprisingly sought-after and a five-door example in Titanium trim starts at Pounds 7,075. The Focus ST is still a very rare bird indeed as a used buy although initial sales volumes suggest that this is unlikely to remain so for too long.See the full content of this document
