Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

3.5

Phil McNamara, 10 February 2012 12:15

A Ford Focus with a 1.0-litre engine! Isn’t that like getting Charles Hawtrey to compete for World’s Strongest Man, or sending Samson into battle after a crewcut? In one of the most extreme downsizing examples yet, Ford has plumbed an all-new, turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine into its family hatch, all 1.2-odd tonnes of it. The 1.0-litre Ecoboost is available to ...

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 02 August 2011 09:36

Rental cars. Not what they used to be. So when I touched down in Italy on my recent summer holiday, imagine my delight when my cheapest-possible-small-estate package turned out to be the new 2011 Ford Focus Estate – one of the few cars I've not driven. Ours was the popular 1.6 TDCI Focus in Studio trim, roughly equivalent in spec ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 22 April 2011 06:47

The new Ford Focus aims for the middle ground between the groundbreaking, sharp-steering first-generation Focus and the duller but smarter Mk2. In theory, if it can match the fun of the first with the quality of the second, it could be on to a good thing. The new 2011-spec Ford Focus has already – by a whisker – seen off the ...

Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 14 January 2011 00:01

The Ford Focus redefined that family hatch when it appeared in 1998. Now there’s a new one, the first significant change to the model in seven years. Can the new 2011 Ford Focus Mk3 move the goalposts again? Read CAR Online's first drive review here - and make sure you read the new February 2011 issue of CAR Magazine, out ...

Ford Focus RS (2009) CAR test review

Ben Barry, 22 February 2009 11:01

At last! After months of studio shoots and passenger ride teases, CAR has finally driven the all-new Focus RS Mk2 – Ford’s 301bhp, front-wheel drive mega hatch – on some of the best mountain roads southern France has to offer. You’ll see how the new second-gen Focus RS stands up against the best hot hatches of all time (Renault Clio ...

Ford Focus ST Mountune (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 24 September 2008 09:00

If you’re bored of your Focus ST’s performance or just can’t wait until next year to get your hands of the 296bhp RS, the new Mountune performance pack for the ST could be exactly what you need. Who are these Mountune people anyway and what are they doing with the Ford Focus ST? Mountune is a division of Roush, the ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Powershift (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 27 May 2008 11:13

Finally a mainstream manufacturer is offering an alternative to VW’s DSG twin-clutch gearbox. No, it’s not Seat, or Skoda or Audi or any other member of the Volkswagen Group, but Ford. The Blue Oval’s new Powershift ’box is the first twin-clutch gearbox for the masses not from VW. After all, you can’t exactly call Nissan’s GT-R, BMW’s M3 or Ferrari’s ...

Ford Focus ST (2008) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 06 May 2008 16:00

The Ford Focus ST is back, and the good news is that alongside new looks inside and out, the excellent dynamics remain unchanged. Ford has spent the mid-life nip/tuck money freshening up the visuals and left the chassis and engine alone. That means the Focus ST still comes with a characterful turbocharged 2.5-litre five-pot producing 222bhp. Think of the Ford Focus ...

Ford Focus FFV (2007) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 31 July 2007 09:30

Aren’t alternative fuel vehicles meant to look like escapees from Buck Rogers? They used to, but Ford has the right idea. The only difference between this and a conventional Focus is a tiny ‘FFV’ badge on its rump. That's if you strip away the OTT stickers from this promomtional test car, that is; ours wasn't for shrinking violets. It runs ...
