Advantages: Spaceous, Excellent Handling, Low Insurance Group, Comfortable and Stylish. Disadvantages: Has the family stigma attached to it which does not do it justice.
I apologise now if I get too enthusiastic in describing this car, but I think the details will do it justice.
The Ford Focus Zetec is in the higher end of the model range and often comes with uprated extras over the base models. My particular car came with what Ford call the 'Climate Pack'. This is a handy combination of air conditioning, heated front windscreen, heated mirrors and heated washer jets. These gadgets can seldom be appreciated in the warmer months, but are an absolute Godsend in winter.
If you are looking to buy a focus, make sure you check it has the climate pack. Where most spend twenty minutes scraping ice off their windscreens on frosty winter mornings, you can simply start the engine and press the heat buttons for the front and rear windows. In just under three minutes, the ice would have melted - no more cold ...

Advantages: A great car from all angles Disadvantages: Not as many extras included as I would have liked
I am now the proud owner of a ford focus 1.6 zetec and for the first time in many years I have actually found a car that pretty muc suits all my needs.
I have spent many a time in cars that are too big, too small, not suitable, not comfortable etc but this is everything I could ask for.
I own the three door version but the doors open widely and when the front seat is moved forward there is plenty of room to get anyone in the back, even my mother in law who is disabled. The back of this car is extremely spacious, comfortably fitting 3 large adults in.
The boot size is deceiving in that it looks pretty small but is very spacious indeed. Perfect for all those shopping bags as well as a childs pushchair.
The actual drive of this car is superb. Mine runs on unleaded and is very economical. I can get over 200 miles to £35 ...
Advantages: Great handling and very comfortable Disadvantages: A very common car these days
The Ford Focus has been one of my favorite cars to date, this is my second one. I sold my first one a while back and decided to try something else, but was extremely disappointed.
The Ford Focus is one of the best handling cars I have driven and an extremely comfortable ride. I have one with air conditioning and a six CD changer. The electric heated windscreen is one of the best gadgets in the focus, it is a real relief on those frosty mornings when the windscreen is frosted over, with the touch of button the windscreen can be clear within a few minutes and saves cold hands having to scrape the frost off the windscreen. They are also very reliable and I have never had a breakdown. They also look great and are cheap top insure which is always helpful when buying a new car. I highly recommend them, they are a great car. ...
