The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 STYLE is a compact family hatchback, part of the UK’s best-known used-car classes. Its three-door shape looks sportier than the practical five-door, while the Focus is known for comfortable driving and confident handling compared with rivals such as the Astra and Golf. This 1.4-litre petrol version is best viewed as a simple, affordable choice for commuters, couples and first-time drivers needing a car for town trips and regular journeys. Its modest performance suits relaxed motoring, and the compact body is easy to manage, though rear-seat access is less convenient than in a five-door hatchback. mycarcheck.com records are limited: seven checks covered three VINs.
