Ford Focus

As one of the UK's best-selling cars year after year, the Ford Focus is the textbook answer for those wanting a car that can pretty much do it all.

But what makes the Focus so popular? And is it the car for you? Discover why a nearly-new Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost ST-Line Navigation 5-door is somewhat of a winter bargain. Discover the benefits below.

1. Connected, Comfortable, Spacious

It's a Ford Focus after all, therefore cabin space is wonderfully practical thanks to the 5-door hatchback body style. You can connect safely and neatly to the outside world thanks to Bluetooth with voice control, along with this particular model benefiting from satellite-navigation with DAB and Ford SYNC coming as standard to. A big boot also ensures you don't need an SUV to take advantage of decent space.

2. Award-winning Engine Technology

The award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine found in the 1.0-litre EcoBoost ST-Line is a peach. Despite only being 1.0-litre, the engine produces 140PS of power, giving the characteristics of a much bigger engine. No wonder it has won a handful of awards. What's more its great on fuel and can achieve over 50 mpg, along with achieving over 650 miles on a single tank of fuel.

3. Safety First

It's great having a good-looking hatchback, which includes fine technology, practicality and convenience, but if safety has been given the cold shoulder you can't really enjoy your car with complete peace of mind. With the Ford Focus its no worries at all, as it has the full Five Star Euro NCAP safety rating along with multiple airbags.

4. ST-Line Style

Fast Fords have always been popular, with RS and ST models providing enhanced sporty looks combined with ultra-impressive performance. The ST-Line ensures looks are similar to that of the 'full-fat' ST thanks to a sports body kit, 18-inch alloy wheels and lowered sports suspension. However, having the award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine, you'll benefit from less expensive running costs, and not the increased thirst of the ST models.

5. Stats Don't Lie

Year upon year the Ford Focus is amongst the best-selling cars in the UK. Such stats ensure a vast majority of the population can't be wrong when it comes to buying the Ford Focus. It has developed a reputation for quality, reliability, style and value and continues to push the envelope.
