As the owner of a 2016 focus Hatchback in America , it pains me to see what I can’t have in America . I understand why Ford got rid of the focus here in America . Great presentation in this video!

[@bh2155]

It's because Americans don't care about style and the driving experience. Everyone is buying SUVs and crossovers just because someone else have one not because they really need that type of vehicle.

[@gartblaum]

@@bh2155 In fact Toyota and Honda sell tons of compact cars every year in the US, no wonder Ford's US sale numbers are quite disappointing in 2021

[@bh2155]

@@gartblaum Very true what is interesting 2 years ago when the decided to stop selling the Fusion in the states they were still selling nearly 200k of those cars even with that dated body style. For me I don't even consider Ford or GM as a viable option since they discontinued making cars.

[@robertburwood7299]

Personally I prefer the previous MK4 front in that it looks more sporty and streamlined. Also not sure about moving the heater controls to the screen as they were great as they were and very easy to actuate on the move. I ordered a new ST almost 4 months ago and still don’t have a build date so if you want one plan well ahead.

[@Sto79Be]

I feel like the best looking front is the st-line Mk4, but all the other Mk4 trim fronts look awful and put me off the car.

[@markhoward9923]

Got my ST line yesterday in white. Looks absolutely amazing.

[@Nathan-rj1wh]

Ordered in nov but I got a stock off the shelf colour and no extras. I believe mine may of already been built when ordered. May be wrong.

[@keithronson2624]

Brilliant! Excellent video and review. Well done! Top job! The Focus is the under the radar choice. The ST is stunning. Ford at its best. The 'spruce up', not least the lights, front and rear is superb! Thank You! Looking forward to your next presentation on the ST.

Sorry to be negative here, but after our last ownership experience a 2016 Focus Ecoboost 1.0, the gearbox started to fail at 40,000 miles, and for two years running we had constant emmisions related problems that couldnt be rectified, so we bought a brand new Honda instead.

[@markevs3360]

You mention the sportiness many times, but how Sporty is that 1 litre engine. You don't mention performance and economy. It looks nice enough, but how does it actually go?

[@foray-motor-group]

Hi Mark, thank you for your question. I mentioned the PS of each engine option, was it 0-60 times you were after? What exact engine would you like more info on and I will get that information for you :)

[@markevs3360]

Thanks for your reply. Currently we have a 2017 1.5 150bhp St line focus. It's OK, but by no means what could be termed a sporty car. How does this engine line up compare? I guess the nearest match would be the 155ps hybrid. How is mid range push for motorway overtaking?

[@foray-motor-group]

@@markevs3360 Hi Mark, It's more sports styling that I mention, the ST-Line range feature very similar styling to the ST, with a large spoiler, a flat bottomed steering wheel and contrast stitching etc. The suspension is also more stiff in the ST-Line models, giving the drive a more sporty feel. Like you said there is a 1.0L 155PS 190Nm Torque Mild Hybrid option on the new ST-Line, which to a lot of people is quite punchy, but will still offer impressive fuel economy. The ST-Line range is really about it's styling though and the overall look and feel of the car. You should definitely pop into your local dealership and test drive one when demonstrators begin to arrive, you might be pleasantly surpised!

[@MrMark893]

[@johnpeters288]

Does it come with a folding rear seat as standard on ALL hatch models?

[@foray-motor-group]

Hi John, I've done some digging and I believe if you are looking to get a Titanium Vignale, the rear seats will fold as a 60:40 split as standard. In all models the rear seats will fold, but on the Estates they won't fold as a 60:40 split, but instead all the rear seats will fold in one, unless you opt for the Family Pack. I hope this information helps.

[@pfkp]

Just bought a used Focus ST-Line (8,500 Km). Is it smaller than the Titanium version? No handbook to speak of and I'm not sure how to operate the sunroof. Also, I've seen various claimed horse power figures, from 99 bhp to 150 bhp, so not sure which applies to the one I bought. The boot is not a closed compartment. It has no "lid". In the two reviews I've watched, there was no mention of the electric component - either its contribution to performance or whether it needs any topping up or other attention. One review video complained about having to use the touch screen to regulate temperature, but my version has knurled knobs for temp control and fan. And, of course, there is no CD player!

Different availability applies for estate cars (available on all models except ST).

I’ve got an automatic on order and was wondering the same, I contacted Ford and they said speak to my garage, they were just as confused as I was.

[@Andyiow]

Just watched a video from Finlay Motor Group showing an diesel automatic Trend and that had the rotary dial.

[@Mr1Redwing]

That would be great if it did have the dial aesthetically would look so much better. But just wondering if they only added it to diesel as it’s a 8 speed where as petrol is 7 speed, and being a powershift does it have the shift paddle on steering wheel I’m wondering.

[@christosnikolakakis6046]

Only the diesel versions + the ST come with the rotary dial as these models are using the torque converter gearbox. The mhev engines are using the 7 speed DCT transmission (just like the Puma) and have the bulky gear shifter unfortunately. As for the rear lights, if I am not mistaken, the turn signal and the brake lights are still using filaments bulbs :/

Hi Mark. The New Ford Focus is available on the Motability Scheme. You can find out more here: www.foraymotorgroup.co.uk/offers/motability-offers/

[@baronvonjo1929]

I still don't understand why Ford dropped cars in the US. The Fiesta was hovering around 60k units, Focus and Fusion were around 100k I belive as well. In some markets the entire brand sells less than 60k cars. How are these numbers financially unprofitable? I'm not really a Ford guy but it's a shame we don't get these cars. I the design langauge of those cars was honestly really good. I'll be honest the interiors look cheap but functional. I know people go for crossovers but having cars in your lineup seems to really help brand image and having them in will help adjust to any market changes down the line. But I'm sure they ran the numbers and somehow it dosnt work.
