I drove one of these while the Escape was getting its after market front sensors looked at and I would certainly buy one. It really is quick and that auto does not suffer from indecisiveness.

What about showing us the back seat and hatch area?

I like the styling and the colour looks great!

Great reviewer... Very concise, yet gives you all the information you need. Strange how the 'regular' Focus range ditches IRS, except for the ST Line wagon.

I believe there are rear air vents under each of the front seats.

No mention of the auto, is it good or bad? Very little actual information in this review.

Great reviewer.

I have the 1L 155ch MHEV manual version in Europe and my fuel consumption is sitting at around 6.2-6.4L/100km (mostly driving in traffic near Paris but that also includes some long range trips). I can't believe you are getting 6.5L/100km in the 1.5L auto! Maybe I'm driving too aggressively?? Will be moving back to Straya soon so might just get this one. Still a bummer the MHEV versions aren't available down under though.

Ford has not fitted a standard torsion beam rear suspension and uk motoring journals who have tested both Ford’s modified torsion beam and the multilink have stated that the average driver will never tell the difference.

Ford have now closed in Bridgend south Wales

im looking at these now and cant decide as i had a cx3 and it was fantastic just silent but had a dpf fault so it went back, not sure if i should get ecosport, Captur or a focus. I would get a cx3 2.0L but i assume being a 2.0L it will drink petrol and cost more to insure ?? too much choice on the market, focus is 1.0L so less power but more economical

I hate that screen stuck on the dash like an iPad....they should really start building them into the dash like other modern cars.

So it is appears to be a peugeot 2008 that wants to be a ford focus needed to go offroad then with more power and 3 more gears

You don't get the Active X?

How many times can the word "adventure" be used? Marketing buzzwords are like nails on a chalkboard

It is a Ford's version of Kia's Kona.

I’m sure your children 5 and 7 can sit comfortably in the back with your 185cm husband in the front. You gave it a 7.6, im sure your children also gave it a 7.6 as well.

So it's just a wanky bloated jacked up front drive Ford Focus with an inflated price. Great.

Hyundai kona much better

Just bought one, couldn't test drive due to covid. Goes round a corner like a buss and is frankly awfull to drive. Everything is cheap and nasty and the engine is absolutely gutless. Really hoping can get my money back tommorow. AVOID!

So, a totally irrelevant car. An exercise in automotive futility. Just buy a Subaru XV, at least it has AWD.

Sadly another Ford flop.
