Advance Payment £Nil Average MPG 40.3 Co2 Emissions (g/km) 167 Weekly rental T/A Motability lease term 3 years The Weekly Rental is the amount of your allowance that will be paid to Motability Operations each week in exchange for your car. T/A denotes "Total Allowance" and means that all of your higher rate allowance is payable for the duration of the lease. Where T/A is payable, any increases in the allowance are factored into the total cost of the lease and therefore will be paid directly to Motability Operations. For some cars, the amount required each week is less than your total allowance and where this is the case the actual fixed weekly payment is shown and any increases in your allowance will not be paid to Motability Operations.

Road Test Report

Call into your local Brooklyn Ford showroom and you will find the impressive new Ford Focus, which now features sharper looks- inside and out, to match its even sharper handling. There’s an eco-friendly diesel option, plus an extra 2.0TDCi unit.

What hasn’t changed is the great packaging and rewarding driving dynamics. It has been the best seller since launch in 1998 and there can be no doubt that this trend will continue, with the Focus offering the strongest residual values in the C car segment.

The new models come in at only £250 more than the outgoing model, but the Focus now includes ESP as standard.

Benefiting from Ford’s ‘kinetic design’ approach to styling, the latest Focus takes its inspiration from its larger Mondeo stablemate. Prices sit in pretty much the same £12,000 to £20,000 span as you’d expect, spread across three and five-door hatches, a four-door saloon, an estate and a Coupe-Cabriolet version with its fashionable metal folding roof.

Engine-wise, petrol buyers have the current 78bhp 1.4 and 98bhp 1.6-litre units at the foot of the range. If you need to go faster, there’s a 123bhp 1.8-litre option, a 143bhp 2.0-litre petrol unit and the 220bhp 2.5-litre powerplant found in the ST models. For diesel buyers, there’s an entry-level 108bhp 1.6-litre TDCi, while above this unit sits the highly acclaimed 2.0-litre TDCi diesel, now available in 110bhp as well as 136bhp guises. Ford’s fabulous new Focus can now be seen at your local branch of Brooklyn Ford so be sure to call into soon. It’s still the best choice in its class.
