Ford Focus Estate (2014 - ) review - Auto Trader UK
The Ford Focus Estate isn’t quite as impressive as its hatchback sibling. The Focus isn’t the most flamboyant-looking car of its type, especially in Estate form, but if you’re after something with a smart, sophisticated look, you won’t be disappointed. However, precisely how smart your Focus looks will depend greatly on which trim you choose. The base version has black door handles rather than the body-coloured ones that the rest of the range has, and you have to step up to mid-range Zetec trim before you get alloy wheels as standard. At the top of the range, the ST hot hatch has a unique styling package that includes a honeycomb grille, pronounced side skirts, a rear roof spoiler and substantial rear diffusers either side of the exhaust. The interior of the Focus Estate looks smart and modern, with a simple, minimalist design that makes the various controls easy to find and use. The materials on display look and feel reasonably substantial and plush, too, but the Focus still doesn’t match rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf for classiness. The Focus does a decent job in catering for passengers. Source: www.autotrader.co.uk
