  • Think of a small car. Any small car. Got one? Now attach a big boot to it. Hey presto! It’s more of a family car now, right?
    That’s exactly what Ford has done with its new Focus wagon. It’s still a small car, with a small interior and a small-ish price, but with a bigger boot. Because loads of families use small cars, but they’d use them for a longer time if only they were a bit bigger.
    It’s called the Ford Focus ST Line wagon, costs $30,990, and has, as its nearest competitor, the rarely sighted VW Golf wagon. Did it suffice for a family? I drove it around for a whole seven days with my own brood to find out.

    I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago. I have never bought a Ford before. I am super impressed with this car. Excellent German build quality, terrific ride and handling and plenty of power with excellent fuel economy. Really roomy inside with an excellent driving position. Touch screen is very intuitive and it has all the safety gear. I think it looks pretty cool too: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Luggage capacity is fantastic: a really practical family car that drives like a warm hatch. Just my own honest opinion after driving the car car for a few weeks.

      Hey Robert, looking at one of these used. How have you found it? Any issues or you still a fan? I'm a bit worried about them discontinuing the Focus here in Aus and what it means for maintaining it in the future.

      @@danhughes12 Hi Dan, I still have the Focus wagon and I love it. It's probably the best car I have ever had. It is very roomy, economical and definitely enough power for me. I have had it nearly three and a half years now and no issues at all. I get it serviced at the dealer on fixed price servicing: $300 annually so far. I can definitely recommend it. If you are buying used, just make sure it has been serviced as per the logbook

    But don't all mums with toddlers need a $80,000 2000kg 1.9m high SUV preferably with a Luxury badge on it. This won't be good enough for them.

      anthony mills Ahahahahah soccer mum nowadays. I live in a tall family with me being 6,6 and dad being 6,8 and our family car was an i30 wagon. Perfect car for a family but sadly the trend has moved on to SUV. Hate it when people around the 5ft-6,2 mark say they need an suv for space, any wagon or sedan does the job perfectly

    We have had a new ST line Hatch for 3 weeks. 6- 6.4 l/100 on the highway with ease. 8 - 8.5 for the work commute. Its our 3rd focus- we have had one from each generation and this is easily the best. Looked at all the other brands{again} and nothing feels as solid on the road or in the build quality. Since the powershit transmission model Focus has been fords best kept secret LOL. I think this car will change that.

    It's cheaper than an SUV, its nicer to look at than an SUV, has a bigger boot then an SUV and its more fuel efficient then a SUV. Sounds like the perfect reason to buy an SUV.
    "Perhaps I'd be better off in the SUV 4WD"....you slipped the wheels before the traction control kicked in, didums.

    We have ZERO Ford Focus' of any kind, nor any CMax's of any variety and soon no Fusions (Mondeo) either, in the USA, because Ford can't be bothered to sell them here. Ford makes their money selling the F150 Pickup Trucks.

    Slips... Thats the driver lack of skill. Problems with the auto gear box. Try driving like a normal person, drive manual! This is st line trim. Mazda vw, all crap. Suv are trash and dangerous cars unless you are driving a c5 aircross with hrydoneumatic suspension, unless you just drive straight like.
