The Ford Focus is the best-selling hatchback in the UK and the second top selling car behind the Ford Fiesta. This superb car is a fantastic all-rounder.
Despite being around since 1998, it’s had numerous updates and it’s not hard to see why everyone falls in love with the Focus. Not only does it look fantastic, but it’s a thrilling drive that is comfortable, safe and stylish and doesn’t compromise on space or value either.
If you’re after a good looking car that looks sharp and will suit all your needs then this could be the one for you.

Where we’re unable to pay the full amount, we’ll offer you a contribution to Marmalade insurance or cash towards your insurance elsewhere.
With its clean, sleek and sculpted lines, this is a head-turning car. The recent updates have seen improvements to the rear lights and spoiler as well as a new grille - all of which bring it bang up to date.
There’s no doubt about it, this hatchback is one cool car to drive. With its agile handling, firm grip and light steering the Focus is effortless to drive giving you a thrilling ride whether you’re nipping to the shops in town or for longer road trips out on the motorway.
Not only did the Focus score a maximum five out of five stars for safety with Euro NCAP crash test rating, but it was the only car to win four Advanced Safety Awards from NCAP too. All models get six airbags and ESP as standard. It’s well worth paying extra for the Driver Assistance Pack which will give you collision city braking, lane keeping assistance, traffic sign recognition, auto lights and wipers, as well as a driver alertness monitor.
The inside of the Ford Focus is sophisticated and just as appealing as the outside. The dashboard is clean and minimalistic with easy to use and easy to read buttons and displays. The kit is pretty decent on a Focus too. Bluetooth, DAB radio, USB, CD player and air conditioning is standard across the range as well as six speakers – a great option if you love to have your tunes thumping.
On the whole, the Focus tends to be exceptionally well priced against some of its close rivals. And because Ford has built the Focus to be lighter than before, it’s cheaper to run. Aside from the very sporty models, most of the other versions emit less than 140g/km of CO2 and on the 1.0 litre three cylinder petrol engine this will give you 65.7mpg.
Insurance wise the Focus starts in group 11 which isn’t bad at all considering the size of the car. Premium models however can go up to group 40.
