Focus III

2.0 Tdci with 150hp offers decent performance and exceptional handling. Interior noise insulation could be better, and the lack of interior space is a significant drawback.

Pros: Decent performance, Exceptional handling, Excellent material quality and fit/finish, Numerous convenient and spacious storage bins, Generous equipment list, Economical and fun-to-drive engine, Good fuel economy (approx. 6L/100km)
Cons: Interior noise insulation could be better, Lack of interior space (cramped)

Pros: Robust engine, Good and comfortable suspension, Ideal for daily use and medium trips, Low fuel consumption, Spacious trunk, Low operating costs
Cons: Space for tall drivers (at 190cm)
