Overall rating

3.5 out of 5 stars

Likes:

  • Noticeable improvements in quality over original Focus
  • Refinement levels on a par with cars in the next class up
  • Good levels of standard safety and comfort equipment
  • Ride and handling stays largely faithful to its predecessor

Gripes:

  • Driving position will feel too high for some
  • Although still good to drive, it's lost the subtle nuances of the original Focus
  • Room in the back of the three-door car is modest at best
  • Overall, exterior less elegant than predecessor – more chunky
