Ford Focus Estate 2015-2019 review - Carbuyer 

Width is an issue for my work- when I bought my current Focus, the width of the Focus estate boot was greater than in the Mondeo.

Yep- and they count space that's actually not useable in general.

Arne Dierckx I have the 2009 model and it has discs all round, I don't know how they make it for the UK tho.

Arne Dierckx You do know that as most of the weight is over the front wheels and there is a bias to the front the rear brakes are mostly there for stability under heavy braking.

Arne Dierckx The one I drove had discs on all four..

podmuse1994 Watch the video. Look up the stats.

Harbir Brar Because it's not their target. You guys prefer big and useless double cab pickups to use in the city, so Ford assume that y'all don't need any rational (and sexy) station wagon. Besides, there's a plenty of SUV and crossovers too, they'll kill any SW almost instantly in the sales market. And that's just sad.

Fillipe3210 That's about the best summary of the US car market I've ever heard.

taste can't be discussed...... I'd rather take the peugeot over ford. Peugeot drives better too.

xBuzz996 They keep saying that. The Fusion/Mondeo uses a similar grill. But hey, let's forget other cars out there that use the same styling queue.

No it's a 2.0 4 cylinder turbo now

hawkermustang Ford especially is very optimistic with it's MPG.

hawkermustang The consumption figures are calculated as per a standard formula (NEDC). Sadly this test is performed indoors, at an ideal temperature, with all ancillary power drains turned off (lights, air con, radio/multimedia system). It's also very easy for manufacturers to optimize the engines on the test vehicles to the very specific test conditions with engine mappings that are not used in production vehicles. In short the figures from NEDC are inherently unachievable in real world conditions.

​@@HB45175- so why mention them at all, seems daft really.

Marian Cihoň At leat he noticed that the fuel economy is actually worse than what Ford said :D

kossak007 fuel economy depends on a driving style...

Marian Cihoň true, but you'll never ever get the numbers claimed by the manufacturer. That's only for marketing, I wouldn't even bother telling the official MPG numbers.Any informed buyer knows about this.

kossak007 still, ruler is a ruler.

Well they never do a thorough measurement, its mosty eyeballing it. And tbh, why not trust the manufacturer on the size of the Boot on their car

This was before the carwow days

get the mondeo if u need more load

In other news, rain is wet.

bebertease, nice opinion. It all depends on what you need a car for. The diesel is better if you do more miles, especially motorway miles.

hyylo Are you really comparing the Focus to Model S?

hyylo Tesla Model S: £59,935 Ford Focus Estate: £17,880

vanhakaveri i am comparing the level of innovation. It's like comparing Apple to Microsoft.

HB45175 Tesla > 10 year warranty on the battery and motor plus cheap electricity. Ford > pay $$ thousands in maintenance.

hyylo No, it's like comparing a xeon workstation to a chromebook. Getting a bit sick of the tesla fanboys if I'm honest. While the car is clever it is huge and heavy so is about as agile as a boat and has interior quality comparable to something that costs 3 times less.
