Economical and practical ready to impress you in many ways

Ford Focus is one of the competent hatch-back with many qualities that take it beyond many set standards. Especially the FordFocus engines give it a lift above others in the category. Even Volkswagen Golf feels short of breathe when compared to a Focus. So when you are after a family hatchback then considering this one is a good idea. The Diesel side is as good as a petrol one. Due to its salient features and diesel engine well-built the car is very famous in the UK when it comes to this category. Why the diesel engine is being discussed? Well it is because it has less fuel consumption and it is made comfortable yet fun to drive. Sensible approach is also a key factor that contributes in a positive way.

Engines are the Perfect Match

Whether it was the old Focus or the new one, its engine never fail to provide a reliable ride. For the diesel side there is a starter 1.5-liter which does not feel like a starting engine due to its love of the road. It is available in a 94 bhp four-cylinder Eco Blue, according to the trim level there is also a 118 bhp version available. The economy rate of both the power-trains is similar. The timing to reach 62 mph is 11.4 secs for the 94 bhp and for the 118 bhp it is 10 secs when manual transmission is in use. Use the automatic option and this time raise to 1.2 secs. So it is very obvious what option to pick. The next one fitted in the sporty ST-line and the luxurious Vignale trim is the 2.0-liter Eco Blue which generates a power of 148 bhp.

Handling is outstanding no matter where it is driven

For Focus driving through a busy town road or a highway is equally enjoyable whether you are with a new engine or a reconditioned one. This hatch-back handles with many refined suspensions which changes with every trim level. This does not create a problem as nothing disturbs the high quality of ride you are getting in each. The low emissions of a diesel engine make it environment friendly making it fit for the road without any objections. If still you have doubts about it then go on a curved road and test it any way you want and still it will be comfortable and quick in each response. It gets a sharp steering making a good connection between you and road, giving crisp reactions making the whole affair amazing.

Reconditioning sometimes make a better engine even better, so do not be afraid to buy one. If you cannot afford or there is any other reason than buying the one with a reconditionedFord Focus Diesel engine is also a good idea. On one hand, it will be money not wasted and on the other you will get to enjoy an almost new engine.

Interior quality and placement on dash

The interior quality has been improved in the new Ford Focus. Also the way things are placed in the center of the dashboard is also nice and clean. There is not a cluster of buttons and the floating infotainment screen is also handy when it comes for the feasibility of driver.

There are padded materials up high and door liners good for safety also. Then there are flock-lined storage areas which all combine to give a more luxurious look inside. These padded areas are not just for the look of things, they also provide a good defense against unwanted vibrations and noises in the cabin.

Now for the practicality and space inside

It is always good to know that there is a family ride that gives space for storage as well as traveling with relieve. It is the longest Focus till now and most of the space is used for the passenger head and legroom. Boot is a little smaller but this does not bother as small storage spaces somewhat compensates this need. In the front with some tweaks the space is widened to give a much better space there. Replacing the bulky handbrake is a switch operated electric parking brake across the range which gives a smart look to the cabin.
