Just got my new car over the weekend. New shape Ford 1.8 TDCi. What a lovely car to drive. The interiour is a bit basic, but the performance is splendid. Next time I'm up for renewing I might try the 2.0tdci. Anyone else had any experiences with this car, good or bad?

its not a rover!

Try chucking it around some corners then you will know what Fhe focus is all about

I have had them (older shape) as hire cars. Never let me down and plenty of oomph on the mway cruising. Seemed OK.

haha, I had a rover before. Not many minor problems at all, but the gasket went twice and the engine needed replacing at 80K.

Just lots of major problems

Had the Focus as a hire car a few times, I liked the old one more.. But the new one looks to be good fun still.
