Re: New Ford Focus
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.

Re: New Ford Focus
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.

Re: New Ford Focus
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.
