Vehicle details

A genuinely great hatchback that excels in nearly every area. And that’s no mean feat when the competition includes the the Volkswagen Golf and Honda Civic.

Plenty of room for four adults while the layout of the buttons and controls is very user-friendly. Usefully, ESP stability control was also made standard on every Focus after 2008 and there were more variations than ever.

There’s no doubt that the 2008-2011 Focus was better than ever before, with a high quality feel, great handling, a comfortable ride and a wide range of engines. But there was one big drawback – the new list price, but you can definitely strike a deal when you look for a used one .
