An excellent workhorse

Purchased as an ex-Ford fleet car, for my business use with occasional family use, the Focus has been a great value-for-money car. The only real annoyance has been cabin noise particularly on motorways. I have even had specialist 3rd party noise reduction panels installed under carpets and panels but without real success.

Right at the end of it's 2 year warranty with 31,000 miles on the clock, I am about to have the starter motor replaced (on the last day of it's warranty!!) but aside from that the car has been excellent.

I appear to be getting a good 50 mpg and am very happy with that. Oil consumption- nil.

A happy owner!!
