All New Focus ST Line 1500cc Dragon Engine

Nice Car, Handles Well.

The three cylinder petrol engine performs superbly for its 150 ps rating and the steering and handling is all I can ask for. the engine is far better laid out than my previous 1000cc Focus, which I always thought looked like a dog's breakfast. The suspension though firm, handles the terrible road surfaces we have in Bucks without too much bumping and jarring. Interior finish quality is much improved on the previous Focus. I find the seats comfortable, though those entering the car could consider it a little low for people who suffer from back problems.There is a reasonably sized boot and the rear load area becomes cavernous when the rear seats are down. Fuel economy is slightly down on my previous Focus which had 1000cc Ecoboost 125ps Fox Engine, though I suspect I am driving this car harder.
My only criticism is the hand book and some of the control functions which can be a bit on the confusing side.
One thing's for sure, at last I am enjoying driving again. If I had realized the enjoyment I would have ordered the 180ps version
