Why buy a used Ford Focus?

For many years the Ford Focus was a default family car choice. But it was also an excellent choice for enthusiastic drivers, with sublime handling feel and eager engines. The Focus might now have to compete with SUVs such as the Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai as well as traditional rivals like the Volkswagen Golf, but it’s still a top choice for family transport.

Owning a used Ford Focus

Ford facelifted the Focus in 2022 to keep it fresh. The major changes are inside, where there’s now a much bigger touchscreen than before and an updated infotainment system, plus a set of fancy-looking digital dials. This model is more competitive when it comes to space and practicality than its predecessor. Its 375-litre boot is an unnoticeable five litres down on the VW Golf, and there’s space in the back seats for your friends to stretch out.

Your Ford Focus questions answered

The current Ford Focus is offered as a five-door hatchback or as an estate, the latter coming with a massive boot. In previous generations the Focus has also been available in convertible, saloon and three-door hatchback forms, but it’s the five-door hatch and estate that have always been the big sellers.

The Ford Focus is a little under 4.4m long and 1.5m tall. It’s a tiny bit bigger than the VW Golf but the difference really is marginal – the Focus is still compact enough to easily slot into a tight parking space. It’s more spacious than the previous-generation Focus, and is big enough to fit a pram or holiday luggage.

Conventional hatchbacks like the Ford Focus are being overlooked for SUVs these days, but go for the Focus and you won’t be disappointed. It’s the best car to drive in its class, with fun handling and willing engines. Fuel economy is better than an equivalent Kuga and there’s plenty of space for four adults to get comfortable, plus a reasonably big boot. If you need a bigger boot, there’s the Focus Estate.

A brand-new Focus starts from around £27,000 but, if you don’t mind not being the first owner, you can save a lot of money by choosing a used Focus. Our range of Focus cars starts at under £16,000, which equates to under £230 per month on PCP finance.

The Focus has a reasonably good reputation for reliability – many cars will be completely trouble-free but some may feature trim or electrical glitches. You’re not likely to be left stranded by the roadside with a huge mechanical issue.

Early entry-level Focuses sit in group 8 out of 50, but the majority of cars will sit in groups 13-17 – slightly less than an equivalent Volkswagen Golf, so insurance costs should be inexpensive. Unsurprisingly, the powerful Focus ST is in a higher group (27).

It might sound small, but the 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine is a strong choice for the Focus. Available in a range of power outputs and with mild-hybrid technology to save a little bit of fuel, this engine is both perky and economical. Most versions can achieve 50mpg, which means the diesel engine feels unnecessary for all but the highest-mileage drivers.
