Great looking and seemingly good car. I'm considering it.
Not a fan of the disappearance of the physical buttons of the heating controls though.
And it's a pity there's not an option for a bigger engine (aside of the one in the Focus ST).
I have the Titanium X model. I have owned it since March 2023 & have done 14,000 miles. I'm averaging around 55 to 60 mpg! costing about 11.5p per mile. I love it. The B&O sound system is amazing & it's a joy to drive. Choose Desert Island Blue .....best Ford colour ever. The best car I've owned
The reversing camera is only an option with the parking assist pack in UK. The all round sensors are standard on all models.
Love the focus,great motor
ive ordered st line x 155 mhev automatic in agate black i ordeed the parking pack, but because of constraints with the worldwide chip shortages couldnt supply the parking pack but no biggy still looking forward to the car in october
Great car but had the 153bhp I’d recommend that over the 123bhp especially for motorway driving. Cracking car handling fantastic and smooth

I took this Focus, same trim but m.h. and wagon version. Very quiet, comfortable car, a big improvement on the previous (2012) generation (which was also a joy to drive) You have to feather it to get the 5.5L fuel consumption with the 18" wheels though 😁
It’s not impossible, I was surprised!
have the 2011 version. and i am looking for the 2023 one........ its a great car
I'd get one, great review.
1.0L Ecoboosts are the most failure prone car engines that currently exist. A quick search will confirm they are.
I've just done a search and that engine doesn't come up anywhere in the top 20. I searched further and still couldn't find it. Different web pages say different things too. @@F4Insight-uq6nt
@@F4Insight-uq6nt a quick search will confirm that its due to bad maintenance
Îmi place foarte tare mașina.
Why ppl buy puma is beyond me , they are built on fiesta chassis and small , focus is bigger. The juga on the other hand is much bigger but it is an suv.
@Paul Johnson why ppl like you stuck in their own frame of reference, thinking that, this is the only right point of view.
Some ppl are not after bigger size of the car instead they appreciate slightly higher driving position, side sills covered by doors (cleaner trousers when car is dirty). Get broader horizon my friend 😉
@@roninesce8362 I didn't say it was the only point of you , I gave my opinion so I think you should give yours without being a bellend.
Why don’t we have it in US?? No sedans no smaller hatchbacks.
I think Ford made an error w/ that. They were planning on selling Focus Active in US, but changed mind after Trump China tariffs would hv made it less profitable. Kind of ironic that Ford imported cars from China.
I’ve had Focus since 2013, would hv upgraded to new one. Now I’m looking at Escape, which is nice, but a tad bit more car than I really need.
Elephant in the room ignored?
What about the HUD? Is it extra, or does it come with the ST line X?
👌😎🤘m-E-m
Why this car not available in south africa
Rear camera isn't standard, it's part of the parking pack
Ur right buddy and they've stopped making the parking pack due to constraints regarding obtaining the chips needed for the upgrade m8 well that's what I found when I made enquiries to ford
I’ve ordered the ActiveX estate version about a month ago and I’ve included in the parking pack, auto open boot and the pano sunroof. I didn’t have a problem with ordering the parking pack option at all, my car sales guy didn’t mention a problem with supply. You could probably check back with your sales guy to se if the option is available for you now.
Lovely looking car. The colour is especially appealing.
wait! 18inch wheels means expensive tires every year!!! dont forget that! thats the most money eating point!!
Who didn’t finish their geometry lessons. The larger diameter wheels revolve less for a given distance so the tyres should last proportionally longer.
Why on earth you guys drive left?
Yes, ECOBOOST is 'WELL PROVEN' to FAIL. If there is no diesel option then I'm not interested.
While yes I agree with you that the 1.0 litre ecoboost petrol is prone to failure...
She literally mentions the 1.5L 115bhp diesel option in the video.
did she say rim 😊
