@HERODMasta 5 лет назад

@@zdengvox I drove the 125hp fiesta and didn't like it. Maybe it was because of the test-drive-car and people drove it badly. but what I didn't like: the sixth gear is for decoration and doesn't accelerate at all. it needs over 2k rpm to drive without a noisy vibration from the engine, so your economie will be disgusting (we drove around 7l/100km ~ 33mpg) For 125hp it isn't punchy at all. Like my 200kg heavier seat leon with 110hp will outperform it by multiple seconds from 0-60mph (or at least, it felt like that). Like I said, maybe we got a bad-driven car... or maybe another engine will fix most of it. The stearing was ok. there are too many buttons. Like... WAY too many buttons. The first two months I can imagine you can't use anything while driving, because you have to search too long. There are also a lot of plus for the options you can get... but I found most of the car halfbaked.

@scrumcristian 4 года назад

The shape of the car is the only thing good about it (from the side and back, the front end is just awful); the interior is horrid and the materials are just poor, but even Mercedes now has Dacia engines and tons of plastic inside, so what can you expect from other manufacturers... Cars nowadays are just recycled pieces of plastic with a nice design...

Interesting and entertaining video as always. But I've recently driven a New Focus ST, mainly in town at legal speeds, and sat in the back too. And I found the ride much too firm and jarring over poor surfaces, and small bump absorption was not good! It had nice steering and might flow better on fast open roads, but how often do you get to do that? Normally I agree with Mat and his comments on ride - but am strangely at odds here!

I like the cupholder solution - pretty smart being flexible. The car looks quite good, but yea it certainly lost some sporty personality and is now blending in with most of the competition, but it is still well proportioned - I think the front is really well solved with a clear DRG. I guess Ford had many reasons for changing the look of the car and for certain one being the growing Asian markets - Mazda did well with their new visual concept about 10 years ago which can is seen quite clearly in this Ford Focus ;D.

@fortruthnoterror7796 5 лет назад

S What attracted me to it, is that it seems Ford had taken some of other iconic hatch car designs and made their own spin on it. Look at the 2019 1 series BMW and the A class Mercedes and i think it’s almost like a hybrid of the two cars. I personally love it although i like the old focus, this is just my type down to a T. The only bad thing is you’re no longer saving a great deal, so if you wanted to go the extra for the better branded cars it wouldn’t be a massive jump i think. It’s only good if you wanted that specific car and not just opting for it because it’s a fraction of cheaper option then the car you actually would want.

It kinda does actually, it's the first mainstream car with a HUD as an option and it reinforces the full LED headlights trend started by Seat I think. LED headlights seem like a really good thing to have. On the other hand it continues to do the things which Focus did well, like having heated windscreen as standard (except on the base model) as well as rear independent suspension (although it's a bit disappointing that it's only for the higher powered versions. Few things will compare to the MK1 though.

If only the titanium had the st-line look.. st-line looks the best but doesn't have all the tech the titanium does but the titanium isn't as good looking .. 🧐

@accobra383 5 лет назад

I might be wrong, but doesn't the ST Line X have all the same tech as the Titanium?? That's what the dealer told me at the weekend (I know he could be lying like a hairy egg)

@torod213 5 лет назад

Uh, just get the ST-line X, or for other markets get the ST-line and just specify what options you want. They are all ridiculously cheap, half price of what VW charges for options. £500 for full level 2 self driving PLUS road sign recognition and auto wipers and lights is insanely cheap. No joke, 1/4 of what any other manufacturer would charge for the same tech.

Can you still listen to the radio and use Android Auto for Maps? Kinda weird you cant flip between the two? Even i can do that on my 16 plate Astra.

Btw for those in australia, the st-like doesn’t come with red brake calipers, sunroof or the upgraded sound system which is a bit of a let down. still a brilliant car

Hard isn't the same as brittle and soft isn't the same as quality! It's entirely possible to have cheap easily worn soft plastics and expensive strong and durable hard plastic!

@stevenburns5124 4 года назад

My only issue with the most recent Fords is that the interior quality just feels cheap. The one my partner test drove before she got a Corolla was just naff. 800 odd miles on the clock and the seat frame creaked and there was a irritating rattle in the centre console. Yeah I'm not stroking the soft touch bits of a car as you drive along but when Ford keeps pushing the price up each iteration, I'd expect a little more perceived quality.

@lodersracing 5 лет назад

@julosx 3 года назад

Possibly for me too. Especially now Ford is about to release E 85, mild-hybrid models for the fall of '21. Not only the Focus, but also there will be E85 Fiestas (95 hp), Focus (125 hp) and Kuga (full hybrid with a 2,5 liters engine).

Ford Focus has always been built by a bit cheap materials in the cabin but the driver's seat and the driving is phenomenal for the price

@J0nny61 2 года назад

I have just done 1600 miles in a 2021 Focus ST Line 1.0 Ecoboost, manual. My previous and most recent cars have been an Audi A4 TDI, BMW330E, Audi A3 Etron PHEV, Audi A3 4.0 TDI-E, a VW-ID4 and an MG5-EV. I was a bit shocked how good the Focus is and how good the 125 BHP Ecoboost engine is. I have been driving like Miss Daisey most of the time as the government tax on fuel only allows me to claim £0.13 per mile and I've averaged 50mpg on the trip computer. However the trip computer is around 3MPG over optimistic. The handling is sublime in corners, it sticks like shit to a blanket. If they did a PHEV version I'd buy one. Currently there are no more Focus models being produced as some of the parts come from Ukraine.

@Deuteross 5 лет назад

Manufacturers should always ignore car journos' calls for 'sportier handling', but they should listen when they talk about practicality issues. Why didn't they listen to Mat??

I do love the focus but if buying it for long term use bare in mind when it becomes time to change the Cam belt it will set you back £1500 because on eco boost engines it's built into the engine

What about the automatic version is it dual-clutch or which technology please, I want to buy a used ford focus 2020, thanks.

@interceptor-ss8kb 5 лет назад

My sister has one and it has a massive design fault. The rear door flares out towards the back wheel and just attracts stone chips like nothing ive ever seen before they flick off the front wheels straight into that bottom part of the door. Shes done 6k and the that part of the door is covered. Paint is ridiculously thin aswell avoid black paint as it really shows.

@royalstevep68 5 лет назад

Put some paint protection film around the rear wheel arch. Problem solved.

@Costel Coaie Most likely you don't own a car at all, live off social welfare and thank God every day that there's free porn. @Samuel Bomorse I'm with you all the way. Kia offers some much more for far less money. Plus the much more "better to drive" Focus is over-exaggerated. Even if the Focus is slightly better to drive than the Ceed, that would not matter to 99% percent of the potential owners. After all, you're buying a hatchback, not a sports car...

@johanfagerstromjarlenfors 5 лет назад

I have Never understood what you talk about that the focus hatchback have been so mich smaller in the boot and the back seet than a golf hatchback. I have always been able to fit more in my focus than my friend have been able to fit in his golf. The same with the back seet. But for me it is more interesting to see the estate versions cause here like 70-80% of all cars are estates. Both in this class and the larger classes.
