The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 2.0 GHIA AUTO4 is a compact family car, with four doors and a separate boot instead of the familiar Focus hatchback. In the UK market it offers practical everyday transport for buyers seeking extra comfort and an automatic gearbox. Ghia trim adds a more welcoming, well-equipped feel, while the 2.0-litre engine and automatic suit relaxed town and suburban driving. The simple layout and four-door access make it a sensible choice for couples, small families or commuters wanting an easy-going drive, rather than the latest technology or lowest running costs. mycarcheck.com recorded 19 checks across 16 VINs, a modest sample. The data shows an average private-sale valuation of £400, average recorded mileage of 89,000 miles and nearly four previous keepers. Compared with rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, this Focus saloon offers Ghia comfort and automatic ease; age and condition are key.
