Advantages: High MPG, Comfortable, Quite and plenty of leg room. Disadvantages: Extra costs hidden in services
During the second years service (2006) the dealer discovered the scuttle cover was warped and needed replacing.
New scuttle cover / pollen filter cover was fitted, and anti-bacterial spray treatment applied - the cost was over £44.00. (Removal of the scuttle destroys the seal and it has to be replaced).
As the car is less than 2 years old I suggested it should come under a warranty replacement.
The dealer said I would have to take the issue up with Ford.
This I did and the Ford customer service department stated they have no history of there being a problem with the Focus scuttle cover, the scuttle cover is part of the trim and is therefore not covered under any warrantee agreement, and they would not honour any refund to me.

Not bad at all for 30,000 miles of motoring in just over a year. And as a furthur point of note, the Michelin Pilot ...

Ciao members have rated this car review on average: very helpful Review of Ford Focus 2.0
Advantages: Fuel economy. Insurance group, Engine power. Handling Disadvantages: Deprication value very rapid
have looked at the new focus and the spec does not impress me as much as the old one. Time will tell to see if the new model is better.
This is our second focus ghia and with luck not our last. Having been driving Peugeots for many years it is so nice to drive a nice car and the Focus looks and feels great. ...
