The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 1.8 GHIA REV 01 is a compact family saloon, offering four doors and a separate boot rather than the more familiar Focus hatchback shape. It sits in the mainstream used-car class, alongside models such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, and gives buyers a practical alternative to a hatchback. Ghia trim and a 1.8-litre engine suit everyday commuting, errands and modest family duties. The Focus is known for enjoyable, easy-going driving and practical manners, making this saloon a sensible choice for buyers wanting a traditional boot. It competes with the Astra and Golf, and can suit first-time owners or as a second car. mycarcheck.com records 59 look-ups across 45 different VINs; those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, recorded mileage of 100,000 miles, annual mileage of 5,000 miles and nearly four previous keepers.
