To say we didn’t want to give this one back is the understatement of the century!
Sleek and stylish
While we know it’s not all about good looks, the new Ford Focus certainly ticks all the boxes. Sleek and stylish, we love the lines of this car and felt a million dollars inside.
Mod Cons
It has all of the modern features you need, from air-conditioning, auto Start/Stop, Ford SYNC, hill start assist and more. Winning!
Enjoy every minute
You really will enjoy every second in this car, as it is designed with the driver’s comfort in mind. Comfy seats is just the start – you won’t want to get out of this car. Believe us.
*Dragged out kicking and screaming*
Cruising down the motorway
There’s a lot of power under the bonnet of this car and you can really feel it when you hit the motorways around the country. You don’t feel one bump in the road as you drive along – it’s almost like you’re gliding.
Junk in the trunk
There’s certainly room for everything your heart desires in the boot of the new Focus. It’s absolutely massive – you could practically have a party in there yourself!
It’s all about the money
We made four round trips from Dublin to Westmeath, took the car on to Galway and back again – and still had diesel left in the tank.
Bonus extras
From front fog lights, to LED Daytime running lamps and Quickclear heated windscreen, there’s so many brilliant add-ons you can get that we’d probably have to have them all!
Our star rating?
A fantastic 4/5.
The Ford Focus is definitely one of our favourite cars of the year – we loved every bit, especially the boot!
And on that note… (we couldn’t resist!)
