Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost long term test

Updated



There is an old saying in acting, 'If it looks like you are working, you are not working hard enough.' The same could be applied to much of the Ford Focus - you don't notice many of the features because the designers worked so hard to make them unobtrusive. When you come back to the Focus after driving a different car, you realise how easy it is to live with. For example, its Bluetooth phone connection never fails.

That may sound simple, but we are continually amazed by Bluetooth systems in other cars that have the attention span of a fruit fly. A recent £50K Discovery HSE test car would never hold the connection for more than an hour before deciding the phone was an audio device, rather than, you know, a phone.
