Focus Focus Mk1 //Car Stories

Best car ever? Quite possibly, and all by chance. Here's the story of my early Focus Ghia, bought with 27,000 miles on it, then sold a couple of years later with twice as many again.
One of a series of travel memories that dig up old media on dusty hard drives.
From full-on road tests of driver's cars to immersive tours of where to drive them. Espuela Grande is a place for the most exciting, beautiful, and interesting ways and places to travel.

I am not a Ford man but got one for my GF for £100 from a neighbour also a Ghia with about 40K on it, when I drove it I wondered why I spent money on so called performance/sports cars, it was such fun on the B road twisties, a motorway slog etc. I used to sit in comfort and wonder why I had numerous cars none of which even got close to the Focus's all-round potential. Modern classic for sure.

You have good taste in cars. Quality.

Have one for 6.5 years now, great fun too drive and pretty reliable. Has 332k km/ 207k miles on a clock and it will be driven many more miles. Been a ford fan since my father had a mk3 escort 1.3l

Great cars! my 2002 Focus is still going strong... I paid 300 pounds for it 2 years ago... hasn't cost me a penny since.

This is my first car, i own it for 7 months now, and i bought it just to have a car and it was affordable. Honestly i wouldn't like it in any other way, love my focus, a great all around car.

brill car im lucky to have two tdcis one estate 153k and a hatchback 61k which i mint even underneath.

[@edwardtrickett6064]

I have owned 2 of these a black 52 reg 1.6 lx and just last week a silver 04 reg 1.6 lx The 52 reg needed a new brake caliper, a clutch and rear fod light in the time I owned it The 04 reg only has 58K on the clock and has been looked after mechanically, the bodywork needs some attention, it needs rear headrests and the air conditioning doesn't work, but these are things I intend on addressing in the coming months Otherwise the car is simply wonderful and I have no intentions on letting it go any time soon
