Summary of the Ford Focus (2005-2008)

Price Range: £12,495 to £21,145

Assets

Excellent dynamics, good comfort, well-priced and equipped, good 2.0-litre engines, excellent NCAP crash test results

Drawbacks

Not a lot, CVT gearbox/1.6 diesel engine combo isn't great

Verdict

Stands up to scrutiny against any car in this class.
