[Frugal Focus


hv Jonathan Crouch A


FEW years ago, you bought a Ford because it was either


I well priced, well packaged or well equipped; you cer­ tainly did not expect to


enjoy driving it. Today, however, things


I arc very different: if you I doubt that, you have only to I get behind the wheel of a Ford Focus.Winner of the 1999 Car


of the Year title, the Focus has attracted worldwide 1 acclaim for the way that it


1 brings the fun of driving back to ownership of an affordable family hatch­ back. Nor, unlike some other rivals, do you have to stretch to the most expen- I sive models in order to rel­


ish a stint at the wheel. Take the affordable


Zctcc models-or at least, take the petrol versions. The 1.4 and 1.6-litre vari­ ants are fine, while the 1.8 and 2.0-litre models arc positively desirable, free-


I revving and fun in a way I you simply would not expect


1 from a car of this class. ^ So why introduce a diesel


into the mix, particularly one that even Ford would


not suggest is really aimed at the sportier Zetec-orien-


tated driver. The company’s new com­


mon rail TDci engine fits the sporting diesel bill rather better, but costs a lit­


tle more. And Zetec, by some mar­


gin, is the most popular specification level of the UK’s most popular family-


car. So dealers need the


widest possible range lo sell with and prices that start from the most affordable level possible. There you are: a marketing decision,


purd and simple. Which leaves us with the


model featured here, the


Focus Zetcc TDdi. There is a choice of


cither three or five-door hatchback body styles at prices which vary between


£12,550 and £13,050: in


other words, around £90 more than the equivalent petrol-powered 1.0-lilre ver­


sion. There is no saloon or


estate option at Ibis trim level: for that, you will either need to move up lo pricier LX specification or (for an estate) gel the more basic CL-lrimmed model. . Like other Zetecs, this


one comes decently equipped. Standard equip­ ment includes alloy wheels, driver and passenger airbags, driver’s seat height adjustment, a good quality stereo system, central lock­ ing and electric front win­ dows. Plus there’s the peace of mind of a 12-ycar body­ work warranty. Since the Focus lias the


longest wheelbase in its class and the highest


roofline, you will not be sur­ prised to learn that it feels the most spacious car in its sector, although from the outside, it is no higger than


its rivals. The designers created it


to fit a wide range or dri­ vers from a seven stone 'lit


10in. woman to a 17 stone


6ft 8 in. mail. It is also one of the few


family hatchbacks that can comfortably accommodate


three across the buck seat. We parlicuarly liked the


little touches; the two-touch remote control that pre­ vents you unlocking all the doors at the first plip; the key-operated lock for the bonnet, hidden behind the Ford badge on the grille; the “gel-you-homc” elec­ tronics that keep the engine running even if all the coolant disappears through a hole in the radiator.

, 4 9 5 MB Verso genes thrown into the


mix. The signature styling


touch is the “double­


wedge” design applied to the side doors. Whereas


most cars have a clearly defined “belt line”, in other


words the line marked by the bottom of the side win­ dows, the YRV junks this styling tradition. Instead there are two big


windows which cant upwards at the bottoms. Distinctive certainly, but does it work aesthetically: The jury is still out on that


one.
