TOUCH UP PAINT PEN FOR FORD DESERT ISLAND BLUE METALLIC FIESTA FOCUS EDGE FIESTA ETC (PAINT + LACQUER)

Product Information

Visibility is great, and parking is no problem at all. And if you still don’t believe us, you can opt for Active Park Assist which will do the job for you! The only downside to this large extras list is that it’s hard to know where to start. Perhaps more critically, it’s hard to know where to stop, being all too easy to get carried away and end up with a Ford Focus that has the equipment list of a Bentley… Value For Money The upmarket ST-Line X not only enjoys man-made Sensico imitation leather on the outer sections of the seats, but the central fabric takes on a pattern involving some racy-looking jagged lines. Neat. ST-Line Vignale Premium Sensico With Metal Grey Stitching If you want your Focus ST Line X to go anything like the way it looks, then the 1.5 EcoBoost will be the obvious choice: 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds and a top speed of 138mph. And if you’re really looking for a performance Ford Focus, then join us in eagerly awaiting the arrival of the ST. Our test car had the standard suspension setup, and we found it well-balanced. It was forgiving enough to absorb bumps and potholes, even on 18-inch rims with low-profile tyres.

And the ST Line X adds sharp, aggressive features. I mean, just look at those front fog light surrounds. The ventilation holes in them are real, too! The cabin is greatly improved in terms of both quality and design. The plastics are soft-touch, with a nice variety of textures and finishes. Pearlescent/Mica = As above, only instead of metal, ceramic crystals (known as ‘mica’) are added to the paint. These not only reflect light but refract it too, giving one colour different appearances in different levels of light. They’re normally as expensive as or pricier than metallic paints. The mild-hybrid versions use a 1.0-litre turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine with electrical assistance. There are two outputs available, with the 123bhp model starting in the range, and it is available with a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic. These can accelerate from 0-60mph in 9.6 seconds, while Ford claims an impressive 52.3mpg, with 122g/km CO2 emissions.Given the amount of time and effort that goes into replacing a car, it’s only fair that we sit and admire the design work that’s gone in to the new Ford Focus. The previous Powershift automatic gearboxes have never really been good enough when compared to the likes of a Volkswagen DSG unit or Audi S-Tronic. Now though, an automatic Ford Focus is easily recommendable. Ride/Handling

Solid = A simple body colour with no additives in the paint. Usually comprises 3 coats, these being a primer, then the paint, then a clear, protective lacquer. Solid paints aren’t particularly shiny and are normally the only standard/no-cost colours offered by manufacturers.The seating position is spot on. All the controls are easily reached, and there’s enough adjustment in the seat and steering column to ensure you find a comfortable position in no time.

It will also be interesting to see how this new Ford Focus fares with depreciation, given a higher base price and lengthier options list. This is another area where the more premium rivals have bettered the Ford.This is a popular trend at the moment, and whilst not everyone may be a fan, there’s no denying it looks pretty sleek. Our test car had the 1.5 diesel, with an 8-speed auto. The performance figures don’t exactly make for exciting reading: 0-62mph in 10.2 seconds and a top speed of 120mph. The boot is reasonably spacious. It does look a little smaller than the previous car, but its 273-litre capacity is only 4-litres less than before.
