The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 LX REV 01 is a five-door family hatchback from Ford’s first-generation Focus range. It sits in the UK’s popular small-family-car class, with useful passenger space and everyday practicality, but a more manageable footprint than a larger family car. With its 1.6-litre petrol engine and five-door layout, it suits commuting, school runs and shopping, and can work well for couples or smaller families, as well as drivers wanting an affordable first car. The original Focus became known for keen, reassuring handling and a comfortable ride, helping it feel more engaging than many practical hatchback rivals of its era. mycarcheck.com has recorded 2,314 look-ups across 1,439 different VINs, giving a substantial snapshot.
