The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 1.8 TDCI 100 GHIA is a compact family car with a separate boot, offering a more traditional saloon shape than the Focus hatchback. In the UK used-car market it is now an older, budget-priced choice, and saloon versions are less common than the popular hatchbacks. Its 1.8-litre diesel engine suits regular commuting and longer journeys, while four doors and a useful boot make it practical for small families or drivers carrying luggage. Ghia was a higher-specification trim, giving this Focus a more comfort-minded feel than basic versions; its straightforward layout and familiar driving manners remain appealing. mycarcheck.com has recorded three checks for this model, so its figures are a small snapshot: average private-sale valuation £400, recorded mileage 106,000, annual mileage 7,000 and around 3.7 previous keepers. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra saloon, it offers an affordable alternative; check condition and history carefully.
