The old focus looked mean but looked bloated, this just ticks every box, mean sharper look while not looking like it’s just eaten another car 😂 😍😍 Basically a hybrid of the 1 series bmw and the Mercedes A class.
Fantastic review of what I feel is a fantastic car. Hats off to the reviewer for a fact filled useful consumer knowledge presentation of this vehicle. I own a jurassic Mk2 Ford Focus 1.6 litre petrol zetec and test drove one of these - a demonstrator - at the Ford Uxbridge dealership this exact model and colour without the B & O sound system or panoramic roof. What got me about this car - yes I was also funny about the faux carbon fibre - was the view out of the front, you can actually see the bonnet in my ford focus I can only see the dashboard, so guessing where the bonnet/bumper was, was guesswork and I got it wrong a few times. The car felt planted around corners and for an electric steering rack I felt I got suffice feedback. It feels a lot faster than the 11.3 seconds 0-60 mph stated time, the 1.0 litre ecoboost engine was responsive and felt deceptively brisk. The brakes were sharp and superb. On michelin tyres and at 50 mph the cabin was silent. I have not driven an 8 speed Zf automatic from a BMW 1 series but it is a competitor to this car but I have a drove a diesel manual facelift 2018 F21 BMW 116d: the gears were too close together and it had this function where gas was added as you lift your foot off the clutch, for me that made the car feel automated and disconnected from the driver - let me do it myself in't that what a manual car is about. The Bmw 116d was also juddery at crawling speeds in first gear. For me, this car is a perfect integration of man and machine before the driverless and electric cars takeover. I know in modern day cars you have all the amenities and electrical assists/devices that trick into to thinking you are on a par with Lewis Hamilton: power assisted steering, traction control, Electrical Stability Control etc. But this car tricks you into thinking that all the glee that is derived from driving this car is on you and is a complement to your driving skills not computers - of which it is. I dof my hat off to Ford for this one, from the MK1 Ford Focus they have come leaps and bounds. I left my test drive wanting to order mine from the factory there and then but unfortunately funds do not currently allow give it six months and a PCP and I most likely will. Though my heart does take a shine to the Mercedes CLA petrol 1.6 or 2.0 litre with the 7G TRONIC gearbox and petrol engine. That is what we need reviews of every day cars by every day people. P.S I am waxing lyrical about a car that so common, but until I am in a position to drive the pinnacle of automotive design and engineering I will be blown away by cars that elevate me from the bland experience of a MK2 Ford Focus 1.6 litre zetec such as this one. Thank You Mr Codietec.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. That is by far the most comprehensive comment I have ever had on the channel (shirt existence I know) Thanks a lot. You're views and comments mean a lot 😁
Malachia Adonis get a straight 6 with zf8 box, that is the perfect integration of man and machine, before we are all forced to drive Duracell batteries with wheels
See with the 0-60. It's manufacturer's test. They don't let a race driver test it. I had a 1.0 Seat Ibiza FR (Similar to this) rated at 9.6 seconds 0-62 - I personally tested it (legally) in Sports Mode near red rpms and managed to do it in about 7.5 seconds. - So the best way to test the real 0-60 / 62 is "drive it like you stole it". Just stay within the law lol
I'm getting one of these on Friday but the mHEV version which has an electric motor that kicks in to give an extra 15ps when needed, they also come with a TFT cluster now too.
Great review - nice to see one from someone not in love with themselves (and a brummie no-less!). Ordered the ST-line X estate yesterday - baffled by the amount of kit for the money. Oh and specced in the B&O system of course!
Good review mate. I’m due a new car at the end of the year and think I’ll be going for the estate version of this. Love the colour but it’s an extra £700 on top!
Good review mate but the vocals from that music at the beginning didn't fit at all and it got all tied up with your own dialogue. Music that gives a sense of emotion without vocals is always better with these kind of reviews IMO. Look forward to some more! Good luck with the channel man!
Yeah. Why do people sing like that nowadays... Anyway . Really good review. Factual and to the point. I own a Mk 3 ST line so seriously thinking about buying this car when I come to trade in. Or maybe work some overtime and wait for the ST.... 🤔
Hey man, great video! What do you think of getting a Focus ST line X as my first car in chrome blue? I'm thinking of the 1.5 diesel engine auto. Would you recommend a Golf gt or a st line x? Thanks
Personally never driven the golf. But I think value for money ... Ford. You won't get an auto diesel with the same kit with a VW badge as you will do with a ford badge. People may argue the build quality is not as good, but I was pretty impressed tbh. Go test drive it and let me know what you choose. Always the best option 😊thanks for watching
Ok work this out...why have the optional wireless charging pad WHEN to use the Apple carplay and Android auto which is essential really then it needs a usb lead attached which charges the phone anyway
This is a great review buddy. I’m thinking of getting one as I do easily 12000 miles plus a year. Which engine size would you recommend for most economical and I do want an automatic now.
Hi, thanks for watching and the comment. Fords are pretty economical all round really (if driven that way). Not too sure on the economy of the automatic ranges as haven't had the chance to drive one except the ranger. I'd always go with petrol personally, but that is just me.
Look at something else i bought a 2019 st line and at 1500km it had to go back to dealer to replace 2 antiroll bar links now ar 3000km the gearbox is making noise in 2nd 3rd and 4th gears dealer replaced clutch but that didnt fix it now they are waiting for a 2nd gear to put into the box as ford wont rreplace the gearbox avoid ford is my advice.
Sat in one of these yesterday...not bad. I tried moving the centre console with my leg too, there wasn't anywhere near as much movement as in this video so maybe this is a bad build.
Message to Ford.. Time now to do what BMW did and bring back modern mini as did VW WITH NEW beetle. GO ON FORD, bring us back a modern MARK 2 ESCORT. Then watch sales really take off.
Unfortunately not had the luck to drive a C-class. Owned a 64 plate A class AMG. the focus was much more comfortable than that. But the AMG is a firm ride due to it being a sport spec. I'd say I think it is on par with the golf, more kit and less expensive than a VW though.
Hi Michael. To be entirely honest I don't remember. It's been a while. I think they there was ambient lighting in the cup holder, but I don't think so I'm the door bins. Thanks for watching ☺️
@@philharrier1078 I went saw one it doesn't. Poor spec tbh. Got quoted just 13 quid more on a lease for an audi a4 with comfort and sound pack due to high payments covering the deprecation of the Ford. Its a no brainer
@@Mikeyp1054 www.arnoldclark.com/nearly-new-cars/ford/focus/2-0-ecoblue-st-line-x-5dr-auto/2019/ref/arnbj-u-73423 Check the photos on that it shows the ambient lighting, wonder why the one you saw didn't?
Oh no. That is a tough choice. For your first car I'd recommend the fiesta. Great starter vehicle just because it is a little bit smaller. Both are great cars though IMO
@@MrCodiotec very tough choice tho seeing the fiesta is alot smaller would be better off getting it for my first car which color would you opp for i like the red! Tho i also like the grey!
All about the grey. I think it looks great. Best thing to do is go and look around both the colour options you like in person. Always different to a screen or picture. If you can get them side by side it helps. Best of luck
Mr Codiotec thing is I’m gonna try and get it on motability! First motability car I’ve ever had. I’ve been looking at the ST line x 1.5, petrol , automatic, 5dr . It’s almost 1k down payment, I would spend more if I could get the st rs version. Is that an ST3 or is 2019 model just either ST line and ST line x ?
So the ST should come in an ST ST2 and ST3 version. I imagine with the same power as is the case with the fiesta. All ST will have the 2.3turbo and the ST-line will have the 1.5turbo 182ps engine. This is all based on what I've heard so far. Ford may make some changes though. 👍
Great review, I`ll have mine in December but with the steering wheel in the correct place :D Portuguese version! Regarding the moving center part, I think its made like that on purpose, to avoid noises that appear with age, no?

@Mr Codiotec I got it in blue, although I have checked the "cherry red" and it looks amazing. Hope I made the right choice, but like you said, the blue is already a pretty expensive color and the "cherry red" is the most expensive one, at least in Portugal. Keep up the great work and best wishes for your channel success!
I have a ford fiesta st line and when I go to park the car up after a good drive, the fan is so loud, does anyone know if this is normal? I know the st line has been in the news recently
Sal e. What engine is in the vehicle? It is not specifically the st line that has been in the news. How old is the vehicle? I'd always recommend taking it to a dealership if you have any concerns. Not worth the risk. Thanks for watching 😊
im not a petrol head ..never have been or will...the ford focus ie the best car ive driven ...end of...blows the auto union..the stuttgart marcs and the slanty eyes away...top top car...ford engineers briliant
Mr Codiotec thanks for the reply. I have the 1.0 125ps Vignale version. Only picked it up last Saturday but so far have done 250 miles and down to quarter of a tank. Mpg reading shows 33mpg. Seems too low to me. Taking it back to the garage to be looked at
Aye but a 1.0 these days isn't like an old skool 1.0 remember. And that 25k represents much more than just the engine. Plenty of us aren't in it for how fast we can get to the next set of lights on the commute :)
Daniel Ford H the ones for the American markets only (apart from the R); Europe, the UK and Australia all get exclusively Golfs made in Wolfsburg, Germany. The quality and finish is noticeably better.
for 24k it looks very cheap (looks like a Mazda 3), considering its at the bottom of the engine list. Its a 1.0ltr with a turbo... nothing new so engine wise its 5 year+ old tech, interior looks like 10 year old style and cheap plastics. I wouldn't complain if it was 17k mark.. but 24k is taking the piss... you are playing 10k more for 5 doors and about 30cm more room...than the same engine in a 30cm less internally spaced car! you also recommend: audio £350 roof £995 paint £645 adaptive lights £1050 £27, 040 - You must be insane! - If you are choosing to drive a 1ltr, you must not be able to afford fuel for a 2.0ltr? Why would you choose a 1ltr petrol over a diesel if your concerns are as stated resale value/ fuel costs? - Go and get a Skoda Ocativa VRS (diesel) 2017 from £17k - it will be worth 5k more after 5 years also!
Iso, They are what come with the car at that price of 24k. You don't have to add that on to the price of the vehicle again. £27k would be expensive yes
Disappointed in Ford with this. This new shape focus looks like a Mazda 3, which is awful. I have a Ford Focus ST3 2017 and my car looks so much more beefier than this. Not liking this new shape at all, also point to note is that this car being reviewed is an ST line and not an ST, so will be interesting to see the ST model when that comes out, but this particular model I would never buy. Good review but just not feverish about this car.
Thanks for the honest review mate. I agree that the ST version will need to be a lot more sporty. It was an interesting car to drive. Still rather my Fiesta ST3 than one of these. Too much fun
Alex Shakeel Who the fuck says “Mom” aswell? This is the UK. Away back to the states and plough your Chevy pickup through your “Mom’s” barn door. Balloon.
Pretty nice on the outside, that blue is lovely and i like the contours....however inside is cheap, nasty plastics and now very outdated looking for 2017 let alone 2019. That instrument cluster is pretty damn poor - looks like it was lifted out of a 20 year old car and a LCD screen retrofitted to the middle of it, the rest looks no better than what you would get on a £10k Vauxhall Corsa. Ford could learn a lot from the Germans on interiors.
Didn't realise Ford are doing the same thing VW have done with their sports high end badge 'ST' - they sticking it on anything now, just like VW have stuck 'GTI' and 'R' on just about anything.....i swear i saw a GTI fridge and washing machine in the showroom, next to the GTI Up, GTI Polo, Tiguan R, Touran R, Passat R etc
The old focus looked mean but looked bloated, this just ticks every box, mean sharper look while not looking like it’s just eaten another car 😂 😍😍
Basically a hybrid of the 1 series bmw and the Mercedes A class.

Hi Matt!
Agreed, good review; ordered a Vignale estate 1.5 TDCI 2 weeks ago... Has yours arrived yet, if so, any annoyances yet...?
Good review mate. I’m due a new car at the end of the year and think I’ll be going for the estate version of this. Love the colour but it’s an extra £700 on top!
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it. Special colours are a little pricey in my opinion, but it does look good.
Good old analogue dials, it’s the real thing and not just an image.
Good review mate but the vocals from that music at the beginning didn't fit at all and it got all tied up with your own dialogue.
Music that gives a sense of emotion without vocals is always better with these kind of reviews IMO. Look forward to some more!

Sorry but you misquoted the 11 secs is for the automatic it’s 10sec for the 125bhp 1.0 turbo
Broxibear212 you are correct. Well spotted. Thanks
Not had a ford since the early 2000's, them dials looking hardly any different since then.

The outside looks nice, and the colour looks great. The interior is trying to be premium but looks cheap. I much prefer the Mk3 facelift version
as a ex owner of the mk2 st and a bit of a fast Ford fan the looks of this car to me is a 10 but 3 pot engines no thanks
The engine is genuinely impressive. At least in my opinion. Worth a drive😊
That English Bloke With MS by using big turbos

Is this the 120 petrol version 2019
On the diseal 120bhp would you be able to head the engine when you accelerate? Or isn’t it that powerful?
Hear
Not sure mate tbh. I haven't driven the diesel variant unfortunately 😣
Mr Codiotec no worries, what would your guess be?
I would imagine it will enter the cabin yes. Most diesel cars are audible under heavy throttle application. In my opinion anyway.
Mr Codiotec thanks :)
I’m gonna lease a focus st. I want the 2019 model with the rs engine. Any thoughts?
It will be a great car 2.3T. Can't wait to test it. Especially with a review engine tune 👌
Mr Codiotec thing is I’m gonna try and get it on motability! First motability car I’ve ever had. I’ve been looking at the ST line x 1.5, petrol , automatic, 5dr . It’s almost 1k down payment, I would spend more if I could get the st rs version. Is that an ST3 or is 2019 model just either ST line and ST line x ?
I find the Ford names and different specs confusing.
So the ST should come in an ST ST2 and ST3 version. I imagine with the same power as is the case with the fiesta.
All ST will have the 2.3turbo and the ST-line will have the 1.5turbo 182ps engine.
This is all based on what I've heard so far. Ford may make some changes though. 👍
Mr Codiotec this is where my confusion is. Is a Ford Focus ST different from a focus ST-line ?

Really good to be fair. Not as well balanced as the fiesta B&O though.

How did you get on with the mpg? Mine only seems to return average 33mpg which is far lower than any of the reviews I've seen
Hi zukuV1. I manage mid 40's on a commute to work and back on varying roads. Only dropped below 40 if I was pushing it really
Mr Codiotec thanks for the reply. I have the 1.0 125ps Vignale version. Only picked it up last Saturday but so far have done 250 miles and down to quarter of a tank. Mpg reading shows 33mpg. Seems too low to me.
Taking it back to the garage to be looked at
They take a while to "bed in" bit I agree, that is low 🤔
25k for 1.0l 3 pot !
They are having a laugh
Aye but a 1.0 these days isn't like an old skool 1.0 remember. And that 25k represents much more than just the engine. Plenty of us aren't in it for how fast we can get to the next set of lights on the commute :)
if you are buying a brand new car only for the engine, then you are fairly stupid, buy a used car if you have to have a v10 5.2l 5000 horsepower

I will be doing that in the next video planned Friday. On a closed road of course ... 😉
ye ye np :) Would be nice! cause Im about to buy a Focus ST-line with the 1.0 125PS, is it fine? I come from the new Ford Fiesta 1.0 140 HK.

- If you are choosing to drive a 1ltr, you must not be able to afford fuel for a 2.0ltr? Why would you choose a 1ltr petrol over a diesel if your concerns are as stated resale value/ fuel costs?
- Go and get a Skoda Ocativa VRS (diesel) 2017 from £17k - it will be worth 5k more after 5 years also!
Iso, They are what come with the car at that price of 24k. You don't have to add that on to the price of the vehicle again.
£27k would be expensive yes
I'm fast as fuck boy!!!!!!
Disappointed in Ford with this. This new shape focus looks like a Mazda 3, which is awful. I have a Ford Focus ST3 2017 and my car looks so much more beefier than this. Not liking this new shape at all, also point to note is that this car being reviewed is an ST line and not an ST, so will be interesting to see the ST model when that comes out, but this particular model I would never buy. Good review but just not feverish about this car.
Thanks for the honest review mate. I agree that the ST version will need to be a lot more sporty. It was an interesting car to drive. Still rather my Fiesta ST3 than one of these. Too much fun
The back really let's it down it's bland like the fiesta
@@alexascs2679wow mum jokes how original, did you use all 2 of your brain cells to think that one up?
Alex Shakeel Who the fuck says “Mom” aswell? This is the UK. Away back to the states and plough your Chevy pickup through your “Mom’s” barn door. Balloon.
Too much presenter not enough of this great car.
So disappointed to ford, the future of ford is totally ruined. Stop making sedan?!?!? Wtf?
Pretty nice on the outside, that blue is lovely and i like the contours....however inside is cheap, nasty plastics and now very outdated looking for 2017 let alone 2019.
That instrument cluster is pretty damn poor - looks like it was lifted out of a 20 year old car and a LCD screen retrofitted to the middle of it, the rest looks no better than what you would get on a £10k Vauxhall Corsa.
Ford could learn a lot from the Germans on interiors.
dead shoes mate
Cheap looking interior....👎🏻
Mr LV I agree in some places it isn't the best. Outside is great though.
Yes mate totally agree with you, looks great out side.....can’t wait to see when it comes the new ST ( the real ST )...
According to ford it is August next year. As soon as I can order it I will 😁😁
Didn't realise Ford are doing the same thing VW have done with their sports high end badge 'ST' - they sticking it on anything now, just like VW have stuck 'GTI' and 'R' on just about anything.....i swear i saw a GTI fridge and washing machine in the showroom, next to the GTI Up, GTI Polo, Tiguan R, Touran R, Passat R etc
Still Better quality than a VW Golf or Kia Ceed...
Hideous wheels
