Instead, just buy a Japanese car from the same year - you won't get the Ford's problems. Mazda 2 or 3, Toyota Yaris or Auris/Crolla, Honda Jazz or Civic. The Ford Focus is a good driver's car in it's class, to be fair......but so are the Toyota Auris, and Corolla, Honda Civic, Mazda 3.

I looked and drove all of these before I bought the Focus and I like all of them. The Mazda 3 shares the same engines and components with the Focus Mk2, so they are very similar cars. The civic is a good car, looks great but firm ride and poor rear visibility. That 1.8 is superb, massive boot and those rears seats are fabulous. The Auris/Corolla are deadly reliable, but not as good to drive as all the others they look a bit bland to me. The focus MK2 1.6 is a very reliable car and problems can be cheaply repaired compared to a Honda. At the end of the day, it's down to a persons choice, but I would happily own any of the other models.

@@unknown-ps6lg it's annoying. Last year my wife spent 1.7k at the Ford dealer for the wet belt replacement. Thankfully her car has been very reliable, apart from the degas hose and thermostat leak which were caught in time. There are garages out there that specialist in wet belt replacements and they are cheaper, about £1k I think.

Guys, just go with the Ford mount on the engine side. I've done this job with aftermarket mounts, and they're nowhere near as good. The Ford one I believe is hydraulic and most (all?) others are solid rubber. Did the Ford one on sister's Focus and the difference was night and day, even though the aftermarket one I removed wasn't old and still looked in good condition. And the inserts that you have to bend the bracket into the aluminum casting? I just threw a brand new one I had in the basement in the trash. You can get the factory ones for much cheaper than the dealer, but still from the dealer. Search OEM Pro Parts or something like that. Ford has a deal with online companies. You get the part much cheaper online, and pick it up at a local dealer or you can have it shipped. e.g. I got the CAD $130-150 mount from the dealer for CAD $95 + tax picked up. They wouldn't give me the same deal if I bought it straight from the dealer. Crazy, but whatever.

That very much depends on the country you're exporting the car to. You used to be able to get an export certificate form DVLA, but might have changed since Brexit. Anyway, it depends more on the rules imposed by the country receiving that car.
