@@zdengvox I drove the 125hp fiesta and didn't like it. Maybe it was because of the test-drive-car and people drove it badly. but what I didn't like: the sixth gear is for decoration and doesn't accelerate at all. it needs over 2k rpm to drive without a noisy vibration from the engine, so your economie will be disgusting (we drove around 7l/100km ~ 33mpg) For 125hp it isn't punchy at all. Like my 200kg heavier seat leon with 110hp will outperform it by multiple seconds from 0-60mph (or at least, it felt like that). Like I said, maybe we got a bad-driven car... or maybe another engine will fix most of it. The stearing was ok. there are too many buttons. Like... WAY too many buttons. The first two months I can imagine you can't use anything while driving, because you have to search too long. There are also a lot of plus for the options you can get... but I found most of the car halfbaked.

Mat really tried to find those 5 annoying things! Jokes aside, great review and I think it does the car justice. I think Ford is keeping it real with their Focus and Fiesta. Good choice of engines, good choice of equipment, fun to drive etc. Points where it counts.

The extra steering function is top of the line! :D

You can turn off the lane keep assist. Its one button! On the end of the indicator stalk. Also....you dont have to unplug your phone to then use the native satnav. Pressing the button next the the settings button on screen, thus take you back to the native satnav. Other than those two point....loved the review. I have a 1.5 petrol STlineX and I love it!!

I have to compliment this car. My parents have a 69 plate titanium auto and I really like the times I’m a passenger in it. Very comfortable in the back and very good interior space for the size. They’ve had no rattles or issues so far. Could be quicker but that’s it

You can turn off the land guidance system but pressing the button on the end of the indicator stick, just for anyone that is put off by that!

I like the cupholder solution - pretty smart being flexible. The car looks quite good, but yea it certainly lost some sporty personality and is now blending in with most of the competition, but it is still well proportioned - I think the front is really well solved with a clear DRG. I guess Ford had many reasons for changing the look of the car and for certain one being the growing Asian markets - Mazda did well with their new visual concept about 10 years ago which can is seen quite clearly in this Ford Focus ;D. Carwow reviews are the best guide for anybody needing to by a regular car.

you can turn off lane departure by pressing the button on your blinker stock/handle or whatever its called

Awesome review. We hope to see soon a review with Skoda Scala! Thanks!

Matt, you can turn off the lane keep. It’s the button on the end of the stalk actually shown in the video! Haha.

I would definitely go right ahead and buy one. I am a massive Focus fan and always have been.

Good review, so much fun I bought one 😁

Great car, great review... Always enjoyed driving the (Euro) Focus.

I have the 2019 st-line and the reason they never show the active steering for avoiding the pedestrians is because the st-line version doesnt have it due to the front bumper not having the proper sensors. Also alert for the lane departure is not a beep but the steering wheel starts to vibrate. Its really cool and you would have no reason to turn it off.

Btw for those in australia, the st-like doesn’t come with red brake calipers, sunroof or the upgraded sound system which is a bit of a let down. still a brilliant car

It's been almost 2 weeks mat where's the 8 series!!!

Matt’s so calm and nice about this car even gentle when describing its faults but if this was a Toyota he’d needlessly make fun out of it.

you can flop the rear seats up against the front seats in order to get a level loading deck. Just like the 2013 American Focus SE.

Great review Matt! 👍🏻 I’ve just bought one on the back of this review!!

Maybe the versions can be different for each country but mine has an adjustable boot flor and i can switch of the lane assist! 😀 Regards from Portugal

For anyone getting this, keep an eye on the parcel shelf conectors, mine were in the fiesta ST line, but the exact same part, mine actually broken 2 weeks in. I repaired them no problem, but very cheap and very flimsy, be careful. Looking at the Focus now though - I love the Fiesta but wish I'd waited for the ST line focus.

Matt the type of guy to arrive at a party early to seat up the chairs

S What attracted me to it, is that it seems Ford had taken some of other iconic hatch car designs and made their own spin on it. Look at the 2019 1 series BMW and the A class Mercedes and i think it’s almost like a hybrid of the two cars. I personally love it although i like the old focus, this is just my type down to a T. The only bad thing is you’re no longer saving a great deal, so if you wanted to go the extra for the better branded cars it wouldn’t be a massive jump i think. It’s only good if you wanted that specific car and not just opting for it because it’s a fraction of cheaper option then the car you actually would want.

You can listen to spotify and use the car navigation system, you just have to connect the phone via bluetooth to sync 3 and choose the audio source from your phone.

Interesting and entertaining video as always. But I've recently driven a New Focus ST, mainly in town at legal speeds, and sat in the back too. And I found the ride much too firm and jarring over poor surfaces, and small bump absorption was not good! It had nice steering and might flow better on fast open roads, but how often do you get to do that? Normally I agree with Mat and his comments on ride - but am strangely at odds here!

Had a 1.0 st-line for nearly 3 months & so far its much better than the mk3's to drive & far more practical. Always felt the mk3's were a bit disappointing to drive compared to the first 2 generations & seemed like they had less usable interior & boot space than the mk2, but were more comfortable on long journeys. Loved my 2007 mk2 1.8 zetec (42000 miles in 4 years) & my 2011 mk3 1.6tdci zetec (ex dealer demo car with most of the options list on it, 82000 miles in 4 years) with 100% reliability & great build quality, but my 2015 mk3 1.5tdci titanium was a little disappointing thanks to the crap sync2 touchscreen & minor build quality issues (keyless entry sometimes didnt work first time, boot release had a mind of its own after it had rained, door seals came loose & replaced twice until i used gorilla glue to stick them down) & the suspension changes on the facelift cars didnt improve the slightly dull handling (it seemed duller, but it was a slightly more comfortable car on long journeys). The 1.5 tdci was a better engine though far smoother. Thus far ive had no issues with my new car but its early days. Sync3 works far better

Great review!
