The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 100 ZETEC CLIMATE AUTO4 is a compact petrol hatchback, aimed at buyers wanting everyday transport rather than a large family car. Its three doors give it a sportier look but make rear-seat access less convenient than five-door Focus models. In Britain, it sits in the popular used small-family-car class. Across 314 mycarcheck.com look-ups, 153 different VINs were recorded, offering a useful sample of buyer interest. Checked cars averaged £700 in private-sale valuation, 89,000 miles and around 6,000 miles a year; the recorded average was just over five previous keepers. These figures describe cars checked, not every example for sale. The automatic suits stop-start commuting and relaxed town driving, while the 1.6-litre engine also makes it capable on longer trips. Its ride and handling helped it rival the Astra and Golf; this automatic suits commuters and couples valuing easy everyday driving over maximum space.
