  • The Ford Focus has long been a favourite with families, couples and individuals alike, praised for its fun handling, low running costs and stylish design. In this CarGurus used car review Chris Knapman considers whether or not it makes a good used purchase, and identifies a few areas to look out for if you're in the market for one.

    Pros
    Great to drive and comfortable to travel in
    The ST and RS hot hatches are lots of fun
    Affordable running costs for most models
    Cons
    Troublesome early Powershift gearboxes
    Be wary of cars that have not had their timing belt changed on time
    Small boot
    The CarGurus verdict
    With any car that sells in extremely high volumes, it is almost inevitable that some customers will experience problems somewhere down the line. So it has transpired to some extent with the third-generation Ford Focus, particularly in regard to earlier iterations of the Powershift gearbox.
    However, allowing for this and the coolant hose issue on earlier 1.0-litre models, a properly maintained Focus should be a perfectly dependable car, not to mention one that’s well-liked by owners. Combined with there being a plentiful supply across a wide range of budgets, it’s easy to see why it is such a dominant force in the used car market.

    Im still enjoying my 2015 focus Titanium despite it hitting 92000 miles the only issue it's had was a clutch slave cylinder which the dealer fixed under warranty besides that it still drives like a new car

    PLEASE contact Ford Customer Service. Tell them THEIR AMERICAN CUSTOMERS want the all-new generation Fiesta and/or Focus hatchbacks with MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND CONVENTIONAL AUTO OPTION in the U.S./Canadian market. If all their customers are telling them, they'll listen and bring us BACK by popular demand these best-in-class driver's hatches. There's a reason these cars are best-sellers in Europe, they are the best cars to drive in this price range and have the best shifting manual gearbox too! Thank you for your support in this petition effort!

    got myself a 2015 mk3.5 Focus Titanium 1.0 Ecoboost a few months ago with 20+k on the mileage. the only issue i have is going from 1st to 2nd can be a bit jumpy, had the clutch looked at and was deemed fine

    *The Question is* ,,,
    would you ever prefer a used ford focus over a used Volvo V40?
    if they both have almost same market Price and same Engine BHP (125ps focus vs 122ps V40)?

    I got 1.5 tdci titanium x 65 plate . Nice car but some times engine bit loud why. Then it's quite good on fuel. I think the car is best on motorway drive . Them it's good around town. I rather st or rs mind. But my mkq 04 tdvi was better engine. Them I like 1.5 engine better. So I like them both

    If you need to rely on rear or front parking sensors you need to take driving lessons & a re-test ffs
