2014 Ford Focus 1.0T EcoBoost 125 Zetec S Start-Up and Full Vehicle Tour

CORRECTION In the video I said the combined fuel consumption is 56.5mpg which translates into 4.2l/100km. I made a mistake here as I did not realise that the converter site that I used translated the US mpg instead of the imperial mpg to l/100km. The correct figures are 56.5mpg = 5l/100km.

[@mikestephenson5787]

[@alexlovesmac]

No worries. Thank you for watching and enjoy your new car! =)

[@alexgrazie93]

[@stoikusu5084]

Very beautiful review! It felt like i was really inside that thing haha

[@crakehallprimary8751]

[@snakesolid6823]

[@d3dennis]

Still a great review and video, thank you

[@Marky_Rob]

Thanks for this video bro. I really appreciate it. I'm picking one up next week and this is exactly the type of video I was looking for.

[@joebiggleywopper6110]

I've just bought the zetec s s/s, before reading on the engine and coolant pipe failures, hows yours been?

[@mohsinbeg9137]

I have just purchased this car and collect it in a few days... great video, don't need to read the manual now lol

[@richardlympany6732]

[@davids9703]

[@myteam94]

In malaysia We only have 2/3 variant only So many in UK

[@dominiccook12]

The dash says 15th March, my birthday!

[@camper234]

Why is it showing a measly 29.6 mpg on the digital readout?

[@MultiDell90]

r u came to UK to make car reviews ?

[@fjano4]

1)Rear windows must be electric ffs 2) that car could do more than 29mpg, my fkn bmw 330ci could do that . In total , it is a good review

[@28DLFTW]

I honestly prefer the current 308 to this Focus. In fact, Peugeot are making a lot more appealing looking cars than Ford are. I retain the 508 looks better than the brand new Mondeo. But that's me, not sure if anyone else feels Peugeot are advancing copiously. I would think yes they are.

[@alexlovesmac]

Same here. I would very much rather have a 308 over the Golf or Focus, but obviously to each his own.

[@28DLFTW]

alexlovesmac​ Totally right. I think Peugeot has just superseded Ford in the past 4 years. With the introduction of the 508 in 2011, then the amazing 208 in 2012. Great cars, love them or hate them, Peugeot cars have definitely made an impression in terms of their new age styling.

[@alexlovesmac]

***** Yeah. I used to have a MK6 Golf and my girlfriend has a MK1 308 back in Malaysia, I prefer the 308. I had a 508 GT for a weekend to review and I fell in love with that car! It was quiet, comfortable and generally a very good cruising vehicle. That being said, Ford and VW are still good cars in their own right, but Peugeot is catching up fast.

[@28DLFTW]

alexlovesmac My parents have a 2009 (UK model) Peugeot 308 SW with the SE specification (Cielo panoramic roof, dual zone climate control etc.). And it has the trusty 1.6 HDi 110 engine. Before that, they had a 2.3 DOHC Ford Galaxy. They say the Peugeot is the best car they've owned. They used to have a 1994 Peugeot 405 1.9D back in 2000/2001, I loved that car. I'm just a big fan of Peugeots (new and old).

[@28DLFTW]

alexlovesmac Would it be possible for you to review the new shape 508 at some point? Thank you.

[@kevinmcguinness696]

Poor handbrake

[@alexlovesmac]

kevin mcguinness What do you mean? It is in a convenient position, it is easy to use and the design IMO looks better than the non Z-shaped parking brakes.

[@vali2706]

Most epic review ever seen yet I learned a lot about the buttons! But i could not watch the entire clip because your freakisch kinda indian accent :)) Ford focus is the best car evar in my opinion but do not know how reliable the petrol engine will be I will get mine full option trim, 1.0 petrol 125 ps this saturday Yey :)

[@alexlovesmac]

I'm not Indian….

[@joebiggleywopper6110]

@@alexlovesmac this made me laugh, he probably didn't mean offence to it. Maybe he just had a hard time understanding some terms. I apologise on his behalf. Other than that, fantastic review.

[@Roy_Godiksen]
