the Ford Focus is the world’s most popular car. But already after three years on the market was starting to look a little old. But now has ford cleaned up in both design and buttons – and even tightened-up on both the comfort and handling characteristics.
the Focus was already one of the most well-run in class. It has always been fun on a winding road. And also here, Ford tightened up. The steering has become more precise because the body is starched, but at the same time have the comfort received a boost.
the Front end have got the same big gap as the Ford fiesta, and there have been more peace on the lines in the rear. The car looks in the whole, more
harmonious.
The big renewal for you, running the car for a daily is located here: the Dashboard is simplified by adding a lot of features up in a big screen. The screen, however, you must pay extra for.
By default, provided the Focus with this little fesne 5-inch screen. Will you have the cool 8-inch screen, which will get the car to look modern in the cabin and provides navigation and better service, you need to get rid 11.500 kr.
Focus price and not again built at the pictures – is not quite as practical as the Golf and Pulsar. It is a bit smaller in the cabin, and the trunk is at least in this test. But you can just choose stationcarudgaven, which only costs 10,000 dollars extra. For most it is not here that the battle takes place – for all three cars is plenty big – so unless you have a bagsædeplads-fetish-you can still grab a Focus and bet on the fact that it brings you and your family through everyday life and the holidays.
Ford’s engine is a slightly updated version of the 125 hp 1.0. It has only three cylinders, but pulls well from the bottom and has a nice snarling sound. And on the highway you will experience another benefit of the three cylinders. It sounds as though the engine is running slower than it does – it is a specific trecylinder-quality. On the highway makes it almost to the Benefit experienced as a dieselbil.
in my opinion it has always been a weak point on the Ford Focus. And now there is a little ingeniørsnak in it: It feels more flaccid – less tight – in the mechanical functions than a VW Golf – something especially the gear change is responsible for. I still lack the precise svup-click experiences, which originated from the rigid connections, close tolerances and precise bearings. It is something that, for example, Mazda and VW master.
the Ford Focus has for many years been the number one measured on pure driving pleasure in the class. Yet it managed to make the Ford’s both sharper and more comfortable – usually it’s contrasting sizes, but a little technical skill, it may actually be possible to achieve both the one and the other. To make a long story short, the comfort has been improved through closer connections and more vridningsstive anchor and pladedele around the steering and gummibøsninger, which is soaked up in the correct directions. In practice, the running Of the amazingly well. It is funny to experience a car which is both comfortable suspension and good steering. It is usually something you experience only in more expensive cars like BMW and Mercedes.
A system that is worth highlighting is førerassistentpakken to 13500 kr. with active citystop, træthedsføler, vognbaneassistent, monitoring of færdselsskilte, automatic up and dimming of the main-beam headlamps, rain sensor and automatic nedblændbart the rear view mirror. Ford’s intelligent headlamps for 19800 kr. are the best lamps I have tested on a car. They create a veritable lyshav front of the car. The benefit is abandoned at 21.3 km of gas mileage, but in practice, running the owners 14,8 km gas mileage in the average. It is something better than the VW’s. the
Price/equipment
A base price of 210,000 as kr. for a 1.0 engine with a turbo and 100 hp is competitive. In practice, you can easily cope with the car, if you do not go up chrome fittings and if the car has a windscreen which can be heated. The jump up to the Titanium model 251.000 kr. however, seems a little absurd – but it is, of course, that Ford wants to have an affordable model, which lures people to the stores. Will you have the cool 8-inch screen, which will get the car to look modern in the cabin, you must get rid of at least 11.500 kr. But then you also get navigation and the latest version of Ford’s Sync system, which is talking together with your telephone. the
the Ford Focus has the most inspiring engine and fun handling characteristics and allows for a lot of so cool enhancement for decent prices. the
