New Ford Focus
 

Been having a wander round the showroom today and have decided thats what I would like.Does anyone have any experiance of the latest model and whats the best engine to get .Cheers

Nope, except i have had the MK1 and MK2 version. In regards to the engine i would say to test drive a variety, from the 1 litre eco boost through to a 2.0tdci and find which one suits you best.

the problem with a test dreive though , is its not long enough.
I have an SRI diesel astra at the moment which felt fine on the test.In real life the power band is so narrow its horrid to drive.If you come to a give way with anything more that 2 kids in the back ,then putting it into second to scoot away will leave the engine bogging down.

then request longer test drives, the fact your serious about getting one means it won't be a waste of time for you or them.
Create your own test drive route on a route you drive regular, to see how it performs. Take the kids if you can and make it a 'real life' drive.
