1.0 EcoBoost MHEV 125 Active X

I rate this car highly

Having previously owned a 2019 1.0 litre EcoBoost Focus Titanium X I always fancied an Active model, mainly because I liked the revised styling but the extra ride height and panoramic electric opening glass sunroof was also a big attraction. So far the car has lived up to my expectations, being an MHEV it has an extremely smooth stop/start operation with it being barely noticeable, the extra assistance given to the engine by the starter/generator when demand requires it shows a marked improvement in pulling power over the standard non MHEV motor. I have found fuel economy to be good, getting high 30s mpg around town but very easily achieving mid 50mpg on long motorway journeys, the transmission is pretty slick, the braking has a weird feeling at first as the electric motor gives additional slowing when lifting off . I find the ride is very comfortable, seating four adults with ease, I am 6ft 3in and passengers sat behind me have plenty of leg room. Negative points, Ford's cost down efforts are evident, the engine cover has been deleted, the door sill kick plates as well and the opening cubby box to the right of the driver is no longer there but these are minor gripes, the Active X I have is full of tech and is an excellent car.
