- This is the new Ford Focus. 2018 marks twenty years since the Focus first hit our streets, and since then the name has become synonymous with family hatchbacks. The question is, does the fourth generation edition do the legacy justice? Watch my latest review to find out!

This is the first time I've looked at a Focus and thought "I'd actually have that". Those designers have done a great job with the front bumper area and modernising the interior a bit too!
A black hole doesn't bend light, it bends the space in which it propagates.
I'm always fun at parties
Yeah, because you ever seen, felt and understood how a black hole works
Everything bends light; light takes longer to travel the same distance in any medium other than a perfect vacuum.
Cristi Cristi well, I know some basic relativity.
Mr. Ajar that is due to the electric/magnetic permittivity of matter, that doesn't really mean it bends light. I guess it depends on how you define 'bending'.
Chicks must be dropping their panties for you.
The focus looks so much better than the golf
That’s not difficult, any car looks better than outdated Golf design...
Is that model only in the UK?
Looks yes, build, not so much, and ford resale value also sucks
@@SAMEntalhealth no it does not
Totally correct
Being a ford man, at 1st I didn't like the way it looked but seeing it more now on the road it's starting to grow on me, wicked video aswel 👍🏼
Yeah I agree, and Mat was right when he said that the car looks much better IRL than in pictures. I don't know who made those promotional pictures but they did a really shit job.
I can't afFord it.
Periklhs Papadiwths dudum tshhh
Aygo
😂
i see what you did there.
Oh dear
The ST is a cracking looking car. I've had several Fords and it was the interiors that always let them down. This new Focus looks fantastic inside. Great review, as ever.
I rented the last model for a week. I could not have been more impressed. I would never have thought I would like these coming from a Challenger but I was extremely impressed. It feels very light on its feet. This may be my next car.
You should test the sound system as well, please include that in the upcoming interviews
Loved this review. I literally bought this car today and I was so overwhelmed test driving it and going through the finance stuff that i forgot to ask soo many questions. However this review has just answered them all!! Thanks Carwow :) my car is currently in Belgium can't wait till it gets here
Have you already gotten the car? how is it?
ess588 when u floor it. What did u feel like?
Congratulations! How are you liking the car 6 months later? Ps. I drive a Focus, however here in America they are quite different.
ess588 Gday have u got u st line yet and do u love it I getting one in 2 weeks in frozen white.do u think ford has fix the issues with that ecoboost.I hopefully hope so.happy drivenin joe
Hi ess588, after 3 years what is your experience w the car? Can you let us know , I m about to buy a new one.
drove one of these few days ago on the motorway absolutely loved it 😍😍now im thinking of buying one
I really love how it looks now.
Sexy af
Nice, pacey review. Look forward to watching more. Thanks.
Can't wait for the RS
Same but I heard that they stop producing that model
Luis Eduardo why nooo
Luis Eduardo I thought they stopped the st , not the rs
Luis Eduardo they stopped the current one yes. But they will release a new one in 2019 or 2020
Mr BossUP cuz of the new crown vic
Looks great! I never particularly liked the last Focus (either the exterior or interior), but they’ve always driven well, and this new one looks a lot more appealing. There’s something about it that reminds me of the 1 Series - especially the sides.
My mum bought a focus-combi last year and we absolutely love it. Such a decent car, we drive it between 4,5 and 4,9 litres diesel.
Had all the mrks now...had new one for a month now. Love it, the drive and handling is such a step up from my last one. A joy to drive.
Nice review. Just a suggestion, it might be helpful if put in the description the exact car model you reviewed (features, engine,...). Keep up the good work.
This look good. I have Ford Focus RS -16 and i love it.
looks like Hyundai I30 and Corolla
Very helpful! Thank you for your detailed review.
U didn’t mention that all the extra technology cost 6 grand.
That's a great price compared to how much everyone else prices it
What he's driving isn't even the standard st line. As I have one.
@@Matt19matt19 it is a standard st line but with extras. I’ve an STX which comes with 18” wheels and privacy glass amongst other things.
@@asmith9040 does it come with the heads up display?
@@Barlogan it might now on the stx 🤷♂️. If I remember correctly the head up display was a £250 extra . Or part of a pack. Convenience pack or something. 18 months ago.
Head Up Display is a £1300 option on most Audis, but standard here. Incredible. I've got it on my A7, and it's brilliant, I wouldn't want to have a car without it. It keeps you focused on the road.
This one isn't as nice as the Audi system, it has that little sheet that sticks up, but you can't be too disappointed at this price.
Got a heads up display on my m135i and had on my 430d. I can’t ever imagine daily driving a car without it.
It’s absolutely terrific
Heads up display is not standard on the used 2019 / 2020 ST-Line models I have seen 🙁
Looks great and very refreshing not to see the irritating plastic bottle test!
Saw this model and colour today and was surprised how good it looks. Had not seen any pictures before so had to find a video on it.
Best person for the best reviews.. No bullshit... Straight to the point! Cheers bro...
I wish it was coming to North America! Also can’t wait for an RS!
Ford has focused so much in detail that this makes it the best Focus ever! Brilliant front design “ST version”. Wish if the headlamps could be more slimmer. It looks far better than conservative VW Golf. Focus is always fun car to drive and practical as well.
'More fun to drive' ?
Where exactly? Where are you hurting a car so much it is more fun than another? I've never got the more fun to drive argument
Steve M maybe you should drive more :)
There is a sizeable difference in how cars like BMWs, Fords, Mazdas and SEATs drive compared to Mercs or VWs for example.
@@xIcarus227 in the past 3 weeks I've gone from scirocco, to a 67 plate bmw 2 litre courtesy car, to a 14 plate golf. Of course there's a difference with how they drive. The difference is I stick to speed limits mostly as I have a young child, so the 'fun' factor is just obsolete. Literally no difference in how I drove any of those 3 cars
@@xIcarus227 also, it's the people having 'fun' on roads that put drivers like me and passengers like my son in unnecessary danger. Want fun? Take the car to a track and destroy it there, not on the road
You don't have to kill the speedo to have fun, it's about the way you feel the car. You completely misunderstand what a 'fun' car is. Has to do with handling mostly.
Thanks for this cool video! I've ordered a 2019 Focus Vignale Estate and I'm super excited to drive it soon!
9:16 - Phone torch in the back pocket is still on :)
I’ve opted for this focus with design pack 2. I’m stoked with the overall value proposition of the car. Bunch of extras great 1.5 turbo, all for a great price
Enjoy. How is it 3 years later?
Enjoy. How is it 4 years later?
Enjoy. How is it 5 years later?
Watching your video is fun
I have only driven a focus once while my Ford Falcon was being serviced but I really remember about it was that it felt so zippy and used next to no fuel. It was a fun little car. The only aspect I didn't like was the lack of middle armrest which I see is now available on the current model but the Falcon seats are much more comfortable than the small cars.
Matt love your reviews mate well done.
That parking assist is insane.
Nuts !
Love the look of the new focus, looking forward to seeing the proper ST version and what they do to an RS version. Hate the screen I side though, looks like an after thought and tacked on. Should have kept them built into the dash.
Here a long time after ford announced there were no plans for an rs :_(
Loved this video,but was wondering if u could make a hyundai veloster turbo 2019 review? Love your videos keep up the good work @carwow
Im a VW Group fan boy i actually work in a VW factory, but this car looks great, really really cool.
Wp Ford.
Is it worth buying a golf 7 over a golf 6 gt?
@@makstod6903 get a 7 R
the focus is absolutly stunning .verdict. believe that.
The ST Line X doesn’t have the heads up display as standard, it’s an optional extra, as is the B&O speakers.....
Doesnt have the auto parking either
Exactly he's not done his homework very well!!!
correct. and no parking camera on line x
I think the st line has parking assist as standard, the active we bought got that as standard either way and I think the same thing goes for the st line
@@MrSwayzy part of a pack not standard. Poorly specced for 26k almost. Ridiculous
Thanks Mat for the review , I've just ordered the new ford focus estate Zetec, we will see how it will be.
Ordered my Focus ST-line X in white. I cannot wait to get it.
Crap
You are actually my favourite car reviewer!
I‘m impressed. It looks, sounds and seems like a really well done car!
I never watched this channel before. I’m from the US wondering what I’m missing because ford decided that we don’t like cars anymore and isn’t launching the new focus here. The host is quirky and entertaining and it’s a solid review. Even thought I can’t get the new focus. I will be subscribing to this channel.
Great video..I thing that is the best car of its category..I bought it but I do not deliver it until end of November, thanks
Give me this and a 2019 Mazda 6 and I'll be happy for decades
Why 2 just 1 which one you'd pick?
It looks interesting in the tv ads
Hi Mat 😄, your car review vids are always fun and interactive. I'm surprised and don't fully understand why Ford is not bringing the 2019 Focus to the U.S. I think it would go over well w/ millennials not married w/ kids, high school, and college students. Ford did an excellent job with this new Focus. Not sure if I'd want one for myself. I'm a single millennial, and I drive a VW Jetta here in the states that I'm very happy with. The Focus hatch is certainly longer than a Golf. Again, awesome review Mat, I'm very much looking forward to the 2019 Volvo S60, I'm a sedan guy.
Considering the class action against the DCT transmission which caused lost lives, maybe this is a reason. The DCT did not work. Went into neutral on highway ramps. The stuff of horror stories. And Ford covered it up.
The black hole reference... 👍 Fantastic
imagine how cars will be in 10 years from now? its absolutely crazy how you think they can progress further after making cars like these?!
Ikr, i'm 19 and i always think about future cars. And what will become today's cars in like 5-10 years.
chris dransfield w,it idf lvcv mgz&et Les
Lamdndejea h =jhffyf ytf u
They will look exactly the same
There will be no cars, their will be banned due to ekoterrorsim. Cars will be only for politics and mafia.
@@sanchezramirez4280 I think they'll be self-driving, and you just pay for when you want to use them, like a pay-as-you-go taxi.
The 8 inch screen on dashboard looks like a book balancing ,it would look much better built into the dashboard as it cheapens it
Really good review , Thanks
Just bought one of these! Great review and I can't wait to start driving it 👍
Same here! Had mine a few days now and i love it!!
Kyle Simpson just ordered a St line.
It pulled up next to me at the lights on my left and my wife asked what it was from the drivers seat i could only see it from the front wheel arch forward so i said its the fiat 124 spider abarth without looking at it proper then they flew of the line and i saw a hatch back i asked her what it was and she said the badge is ford.
Its a great looking car they had it specced nice but ford facelifts their car way to often i didnt know they already had a new one out.
Then you're not a car guy
would leave the useless fabrique internationale automobiles torino standing[ive had more cars than lord lucans had an accountant] and fiat is the worse..shocking car maker
Really great review. Glad to be part of the power steering development team for this car :D
rockclaW great!! Awesome. I think if some issue comes we should contact you directly;)
currently got fiesta auto vignale which i really like in every way
hope to maybe get focus vignale maybe demonstrator one at end of fiesta deal
that will take some of vat cash of getting completely new factory order
Great video, does the ST line Diescel 1.5 ecoblue come with heating seats? As I want to pick a version to do around 20,000 business miles a year in. Unsure if to go for the this version or Ford Focus Titanium 1.5 ecoblue Diesel version. Any advice would be fab.
Just bought one. Love it. The one he's reviewing isn't a standard st line though. At a guess it's the ST line X.
Do u still like the car. ?
@@paulgal many months later. Yes I still love it
Test drove a 1.0 st-line, can honestly say its far more comfortable & more fun to drive than the mark 3 & seems more practical too although i will find that out soon as mine arrives late November to replace my 2015 facelift mk3 1.5tdci titanium (Having previously had a mk3 2011 1.6tdci zetec & a 2007 mk2 zetec 1.8 petrol since 2008). Of the 3 ive already owned, i can honestly say that for all the extra tech & improvement in comfort, neither of the mk3's were as fun or as practical as the mk2 or as better built
Bought a 2019 Focus hatchback yesterday, similar engine and kit as this one but in silver. Can't wait till I can go pick it up :D
Good point about the door covers that don't clip in, mine came out straight away in my ST2 -_-
that angle from the back at 0:57 makes it look like a baby Rav4
Nice car.
However it's side profile looks a bit like the Mazda 3, so does the dashboard.
The best review of the ford focus at the moment congratulations
Bought myself a ford focus st line business, 1.5l 150pk almost full option. Will arrive today/tomorrow. Can't wait!
How have u found it
@@fantasyproduct1042 I love it. It's beautiful, drives perfect. It does use a decent amount of fuel and it's 'slow' for 150hp, but fast enough for daily driving.
It’s also developed in Germany. Just like all the other European Fords.
Yep, they've been developed in Germany for a long time now.
Yep, sadly the days of Dagenham built fords are over
They still do lots of R&D at Dunton
This Focus looks badass
thank you very much! great revew. very nice car!
Always great video car 🚙 content
How good does this look?! What a big improvement over the last one
I had fordeo mondeo 2007 and its center console would woble 3cm in each direction... notice "had"
My dad has one one he has a St line x. He loves it, he got it a few months ago
Is the radar/adaptive cruise control available on the manual box versions?
The dash design seems to based around a grinning 🐸 frog face, under the touch screen! Or maybe I'm watching too many cartoons?
Carl can't be unseen now lmao
Godut Everest Ha ha, spot on! Did the designers not see it? Nah, it must have been the plan!
I would not have chosen the older focus this over older golf but the newar one is now better than the golf
Nice review!! Can I ask you what is your opinion between the new focus and seat leon which will be a better choice? :)
Saw a Mk1 Focus RS yesterday!😎
Too bad we're not getting it in the US...
FlyinGato US will get Focus Active
IMHO Ford USA have slipped up, retreating to big cars.
Yeah but Ford would just lose loads of money because not many people would buy them....
SamsungFanboy Nobody wants to buy cars. I work at Ford dealership. Everyone wants an SUV. Focus Active will make sense because it will be taller.
I'm from the land of tea and small hatchbacks :) but have travelled to the States quite a few times. Getting a gas powered monster truck rental is always part of the fun! But had a decent offering of Focuses and Camrys for example
For a moment, Matt was Bradley's cameraman. It was a nice change.
Ordered magnetic metallic st-line wagon few weeks ago. Should get it delivered in first half of october.
Can’t wait for the Ford Focus RS 2019 edition and a comparison between 2018 RS and 2019 RS 😃 (so excited)
Why? Rs for people who like to race off at the lights, scream the exhaust up to 30 mph, weave in an out nearly causing accidents until get stuck at the next lights. Rs shold stand for look at me everyone, look how loud I am, I'm like a fake ricer
Damn... that’s one sexy focus st 😍 it sucks that we aren’t getting it in the U.S 😩 that thing is sharpe!
Does it will never be in U.S?
The 2019 Ford Focus is a beautiful car with a nice interior and cool high tech. I am surprise Ford Focus is a best seller in the UK.
I'll get it in Chroma Blue with 18 inches soon. I currently still have the A Class from Mercedes built in 2017 in white. I'm really excited
Desert Island Is much Better...mine Will arrive next week!
Nice review 😊
07:32
Haha...
The System doesnt content any Arms...Haha..Funny as always - Nice, Matt!
9:18 Left your phones light on lol
I like how low and wide it is from the back
Only 2 more years on my Astra lease and I will be getting this for sure, had focus mk2 and it was best car ever
holy shiit , finally a rear visual I like. The old rear lights were atrocious.
Ford finally did it! 10/10
Frano Kiso they killed it. Back reminds me of some sort lf Hyundai or Kia but apart from that cant wait till they show up to 3 years age mark from leasing:))
The back comes from Fiat Tipo
Congrats to the German developers.
Did what? a plastic interior from 2009? Yes Ford did it !!
Survivalist I guess you should look for Rolls Royce 😉
Does the lane assist and front car space function work during night time motorway driving?
Does these new Focus have same 1.0L Ecoboost model engine of the older ones with DEGAS Hose problems? Was that retified in the new ones?
Hey Mat, watsup
I am Dikens from India,
Ya I like your review style and your presentation so much, even though I am from India and yes I can't buy the car from carwow, here
I watch each and every car review of carwow,
My 10 year son Evan also very much like your review
God bless you brother and hope you will continue, all the best
Very nice family hatch lol
It would be fun to replace the badge with a little lion or two upward arrowheads or, worse, a rhombus, and Matt's review would be slightly different to say the least.
I have a mk2 focus still super fun now on 163643
It's a shame that they still use twist beam rear suspension on the lower end models :(
Loving the new design
Like the focus st line x but can't decide which engine.. the 1.5 petrol 182bhp or the 2.0 diesel? Reliability, strength longevity.. timing belt issues? not worried about mpg. Any advice?
Going to buy one soon, can't wait
