The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 GHIA REV 01 is a five-door family hatchback from Ford’s first-generation Focus range. It sits in the UK’s small family car class, offering more space and versatility than a city car without the bulk of an SUV. Ghia was the comfort-focused trim. It works well for commuting, school runs and shopping; five doors ease passenger access and help with family luggage. The 1.6-litre petrol engine is a simple, familiar choice, while the Focus earned praise for composed, enjoyable handling compared with many contemporary hatchbacks. It suits first-time buyers wanting practical everyday transport. It competed with the Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra, offering a balanced ride and usable cabin. mycarcheck.com records 1,197 look-ups across 802 distinct VINs, a substantial sample; checks report a £400 average private-sale valuation, 103,000 average recorded miles, 5,000 annual miles and 3.7 previous keepers.
