The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 1.6 GHIA AUTO4 is a compact four-door saloon from the first-generation Focus range, offering a boot separate from the passenger cabin rather than the more familiar hatchback layout. In the UK it sits among practical small family cars, with an automatic gearbox and Ghia trim giving this version a more comfort-focused feel than basic Focus models. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 83 checks covering 40 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this specific saloon. Its usage data shows an average recorded mileage of 95,000 miles and about 3,000 miles driven annually; the average private-sale valuation is £200, while cars had around 3.9 previous keepers. That use may suit occasional drivers, though age and condition matter more. It works for commuters, couples or small families seeking automatic motoring. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra, its handling and comfortable cabin helped make the Focus a versatile choice.
