2018-21 Ford Focus review - you can't order the new one, so what's the old one like?

Global 'issues' mean you can't actually order the new 2022 facelifted version of the Ford Focus, but we've got plenty of the pre-facelift car available in-store - so what are you missing out on? Join Tim for a quick walkaround and review of the 2018-onwards Ford Focus, including an interior review, a look at the infotainment and a full driving review.

Much prefer the look of this Focus to the newer one. Have had a couple in the past - mk1 and 2 - and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Great cars, cheap as chips to run and insure, and practical.

I have the 1.5 ecoblue diesel. I love the lane assist on the motorway and enjoy the engine in sport mode. Not got the claimed 80 mpg on a run though..Its got enough power for me..95 hp, but I imagine the 2.0 litre would be more fun across the country.

[@buijs1967]

Active is not 4 wheel drive but so are 90% of suv and crossovers.

[@sevkiar8056]

How about the auto transmission one’s are those also reliable and fun?

[@therickman1990]

There is no 4-cylinder petrol in these anymore. All the petrols are 3-cylinders apart from the 2.3 ST. The 1-liter petrol still has a timing belt, the 1.5's went back to timing chains and they have no replacement interval

[@TheZanshen]

I have the st line 1.0 ecoboost 125 bhp mild hybrid and it’s a timing chain .

[@leemadden3able]

Have a titanium estate mk4 2021 it has a 1.0 ltr engine 125 bhp but is beautiful to drive and is really practical for my carp fishing and don’t underestimate that little 1.0ltr engine it’s great

[@ngacni]

The same here and I did give the engine to be reprogrammed and now is going like it supposed to with highest octane fuel (140hp)

[@miniaturefun-guy]

@@ngacnido you have to run it on high octane or do you just loose power if you put the cheap stuff in?

[@ngacni]

@@miniaturefun-guy You can put any fuel and you just loose power

[@miniaturefun-guy]

@@ngacni interesting. I’m looking at 2019 st line x. I think it has the newer chain driven engine. If it’s the old wet belt I might pass.

Unless it's a proper off roader suv, why not get a hatchback or a wagon? We've always been neglected in the US when it came to the focus. They were almost never the same as the euro markets car save for the first gen the most recent RS

[@alanjackson2540]

Hi I have £10k to spend on a hatchback Focus. Can you advise between the 1.0 and the 1.5 petrols please? I only do 5k miles per year but don't want to buy the wrong car and I can't find a comparison vid. Thanks.

[@tomjardine100]

Prefer the Mk3.5 focus personally. However the mk4 really is sleekm
