The range of the 2008 Ford Focus is available with the same body types that the previous model (three, four, five-door, convertible and family) and 9 different engines, from 80 hp up to 225 hp
2008 Ford Focus 5d
Ford Focus
In 2009 there will be a version "RS" and will have the most powerful engine of the range, above the 225-hp ST. There was no previous Ford Focus RS version; there was a version of the first Ford Focus RS 200, launched in 1999.
Ford Focus
Ford called the three-door version of 'Coupe', the five 'limousine', the four 'Sedan', the familiar "Sportbreak" and "Coupe-Cabriolet" at the cabriolet.
Ford Focus
The version with 136 hp diesel engine and can carry a gearbox double clutch (called "Powershift", which is similar to "DSG" which uses Volkswagen). This version of the Ford Focus has a price exceeding € 1500 option with respect to the six-speed manual shift.
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi Powershift has two drawbacks. First, it gives benefits slightly slower than the equivalent version with manual shift and its consumption is somewhat higher (although the difference is not final). Second, is missing that, without intervention by the driver, had more power to give retention in certain circumstances.
Ford Focus
With the changes that Ford has done in this new model, the Ford Focus will be maintained as a very pleasant car to drive for their agility; good feel of driving and the possibilities of equipment. It is not above the average for the materials or coating for its setting (although there is an improvement in this aspect with regard to the model was launched in late 2004).
2008 Ford Focus 3d
Ford Focus
Where there is an improvement over the previous model is by the amount of noise coming from inside the engines. This is particularly note in version 2.0 TDCi and to a lesser extent in the 1.6 TDCi 109 hp.
Ford Focus
Of the petrol engines, the most interesting may be the 1.6 Ti-VCT 114 hp, which has a good performance. Of the Diesel, the 2.0 TDCi 136 bhp is more than 1.6 TDCI 109 hp if we take into account both the supply and consumption, and is the only one who can bring change gears' Powershift '. Curiously, the 1.6 liter diesel not has given us such a good impression on the Ford Focus and other cars you can have (in particular in the Mazda3).
Ford Focus
In general, all versions of the Ford Focus notable for its breadth, except for the headroom to the roof in places Backdoors that there is little adult height of more than 1.80 meters.
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus familiar with the bodywork ("Sportbreak") has more headroom to the roof in the rear seats, plus a trunk very practical and comfortable to carry, but with one flaw: there are no bindings planned to place a network behind the front seats and rings for securing the load on the floor are inaccessible.
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus is available from € 12,635. With regard to the bodywork of three doors, five more it costs 325 € and four 975; the family version has the same price as that of four. Drawing on the Coupe version 1.6 TDCi 109 bhp, the Ford Focus has a price similar to that of their more direct alternatives, with some exceptions (a Fiat Bravo is somewhat less expensive).
Ford Focus
There are some optional packages that allow you to modify the appearance of the body through skirts, window grilles or different terminals. There are also different tires (17 or 18 ") and chrome housings for the mirrors.
Ford Focus
An interesting aspect of the Ford Focus is that almost all versions (except the cheapest 'Business') can have much equipment and the customer can configure it to their liking.
Ford Focus
The headlamps are standard halogen bulb and, optionally, can be double-xenon. The lighting series is sufficient, because the beam is usually long and wide. What is wrong is right in front of Ford Focus is a dark area, which can be annoying in a very narrow road of hairpin bends.
Ford Focus
The biggest difference between the number of lights and dual xenon occurs in the light of road. Therefore, it is worth paying for the headlights optional whether to move inland preferably without illuminate outside town.
Ford Focus
With any of the optional headlights, the taillights are LEDs, instead of bulbs. To distribute the light of these pilots Ford has used optical fiber. There is also a device that activates the emergency lights in case of a very intense braking (deceleration larger than 6 m / s ²). Some versions of the Ford Focus can bring a system boot button placed next to the gear lever. Also available are a keyless entry system.
Ford Focus
There are two navigation systems available. One has a touch screen of 7 "from which also handled the air-conditioning and audio systems. The other consists of a screen smaller (5"), with a slot for SD memory cards (the number of cameras Photographic small) where you can upload maps.
Ford Focus
Furthermore, it is available a module of connectivity to external sources of sound (with connections' USB ',' mini jack 'and for' ipod ').
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus debuts in the line 'ECOnetic' (equivalent to "Bluemotion" Volkswagen). They are characterized by certain changes from the versions of those derived for a reduced consumption and therefore lower pollutant emissions.
Ford Focus
For the Ford Focus' ECOnetic ', Ford has chosen for now, the 1.6 TDCi engine from 109 hp with particle filter mounted in the bodywork of five gates. The consumption of Ford Focus ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi is 4.3 l/100 km (4.5 instead of the normal version, neither pays VRT). Regarding the standard version with the same engine, the 'ECOnetic' improved speed and consumption. Its price is not advantageous; respect to the normal version equivalent (equipment "Trend"), the 'ECOnetic' costs 410 € more with the same equipment. The "ECOnectic" does have the advantage consumption.
Ford Focus
For the 'ECOnetic' spending less, Ford has made some modifications. These include the use of low viscosity lube oil and a new schedule of the electro-pump of the address.
Ford Focus
There are also aerodynamic improvements (hence the improvement of benefits) to leave the aerodynamic coefficient at 0.31 (instead of 0.32): The front suspension has been lowered 10 mm and 8 mm the rear, the frontbumper and grilled are different.
Ford Focus
Versions "Flexi" have a feature that can use E85 fuel (a mixture of ethanol and petrol at 85 and 15% respectively) or only gasoline. The advantage of ethanol from agricultural sources with respect to gasoline and diesel is that the former does not add CO2 to the atmosphere, because that CO2 comes originally from the atmosphere. In the case of gasoline, diesel or other fossil fuel is sent into the atmosphere as CO2 an amount of carbon that was previously underground.
Ford Focus
These versions are available with an engine of 1.8 liters and 125 HP (exclusive to this release), with a body of three and four-door and family. These versions do not consume less than equivalent petrol vehicles; the figure approved is 7.0 l/100 km. The Ford Focus with the gasoline engine of 1.6 liters and 114 hp consumes 6.6 l/100km, with a slightly lower benefits.
Ford Focus
The dashboard plastics are of good quality overall. There are certain parts of the interior, like the lid of the glove or part of the doors that lead a hard plastic looking somewhat coarse. Although there has been an improvement compared with the 2005 Ford Focus, an Opel Astra or a Volkswagen Golf give better sense of completion, but are also more expensive.
Ford Focus
For whom the maximum capacity is not a necessity, the Ford Focus car can be a very nice because it has a successful body: it is wide, has a good driving position and comfortable seats and some that attach either the body (to give better result it seems). Versions' Titanium 'and' Trend 'to the package of options "Sport" a few seats sports lead to even better grip the body of the front passenger.
Ford Focus
What's more uncomfortable driving position is that some versions have no rheostat to change the intensity of light from the dashboard: the screen red in the center annoying driving at night.
Ford Focus
From the driving position is controlled either the contour of the body, especially the forwards because of the windscreen pillars are not very thick and guess where either just the bodywork. In three quarters rear visibility is less favorable, but no worse than that of other modern cars.
Ford Focus
The interior has many compartments to put things in the front doors and along the rear (except in the three-door, which has some drawers under the armrest with flip side of that is beside the body), on the back of the seats , In the front and rear central armrest. If no one chooses the option package of smoking, in front of the gear is a very comfortable place to deposit items.
Ford Focus
In most versions equipped, the dashboard is integrated with a compartment lid, about 3 liters capacity and above the driver's door there is a place to put glasses. The glove compartment is chilled and has great depth, but its mouth is rather small.
Ford Focus
The trunk is very large in all versions of bodywork in the event that no wheel bearing replacement (if the bears, which is optional and can be of emergency or the same extent as the other four, lost a few centimeters deep. If you do not have a spare wheel, the trunk measured at 396 liters in the three-and five-door, 503 l in the family and 537 l in the four-door.
Ford Focus
One of the changes from the previous range is the aspect of climate control (two zones), although its functions remain unchanged. In automatic mode gives a correct result because it is able to maintain a constant temperature in the interior.
Ford Focus
The versions we've tested so far cheaper to wore navigation (with screen 5 "), which includes a card reader 'SD' and a disk reader. With this navigation system, Ford is mapping on a CD and on a card 'SD'. The driver can choose the medium used to run a browser. The device is released can be used to store and play music. In addition, the Ford Focus can take a connection "USB".
Ford Focus
The browser screen with 5 "has a mapping with a few simple maps. Browser screen with 7" has a more complete picture of the maps.
Ford Focus
With the two browsers, to avoid having to consult the console screen while driving, in the instrument panel is a monochrome screen which displayed the basic information for navigation (turns and the distance to do).
Ford Focus
The trunk of Sportbreak is very convenient to charge for several reasons. First, the edge of load is relatively close to the ground, the gate has a very large opening angle (or the highest hit with him when entering things in the trunk) and the shape of the boot is very profitable.
Ford Focus
Optionally you can have a reversible carpet (rubber on one side so you can easily wash), a network for fixing objects to the rings and a network that separates vertically from the trunk space for five occupants.
Ford Focus
This network can only be placed behind the rear bench; you can not put a network behind the front seats because the roof does not have bindings for this purpose (behind the rear seats Occupants of them there). For this reason, it is advisable to carry heavy objects along the trunk, because there is nothing to prevent the cargo from invading the space of the driver, in case of sudden braking or an accident.
Ford Focus
Serial rear seats can be lower in two portions of different sizes. To achieve a completely flat load with trimming the trunk, it is necessary, before cutting the backs, tipping the sidewalk.
Ford Focus
A good part of the changes automatic (whether of the kind that are) have a 'Sport', which often resort to marches for shorter working on the engine at a speed higher in certain circumstances (for example, which requires retention). Ford Focus lacks this feature.
Ford Focus
A select gear manually is so good, and also to choose the retention is needed at every moment, to prepare a forward in the march and leave more appropriate. Anyway, it is imperative to remove marches by hand, because the change solicitously responds to movements with the accelerator (although not as quick as a Volkswagen Golf DSG).
Ford Focus
Although the change is in manual position, the system automatically goes to a higher gear to reach around 4,500 rpm. The 2008 Ford Focus, like the previous model, is a very pleasant car to drive for their stability, agility and good touch.
Ford Focus
Anyone wishing a very comfortable car, and understands why the suspension would allow broad and slow movements of the body, prefer a Hyundai I30, a Renault Megane, a Fiat Bravo or a Toyota Auris. To a greater or lesser extent, they're more comfortable that the Ford Focus (especially if it has the sport suspension), but none has a feel of driving as pleasant as the Ford.
Ford Focus
Perhaps the best of the Ford Focus is transmitted to the driver very accurately the relationship between the car and the asphalt, and that does not do the models cited in the previous paragraph. Thus it is easy to anticipate their reactions, which can be useful when driving at a rapid pace, but also to do normally.
Ford Focus
It is agile for the way he reacts to every movement of the steering wheel or changes in support (however, this Ford Focus is no longer as lively reactions as it was the first).
Ford Focus
The sport suspension is well-adjusted: allows the body to move at least bends, but does not harm your hardest comfort in clear surfaces in poor condition. This suspension can be purchased either within the package options mentioned separately or with a very low cost.
Ford Focus
The change gears manually (at least in the versions Diesel) is perhaps the only thing that is below the rest in quality management. Can be handled quickly, but sometimes is very misleading (for example, to put the third gear).
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi 109 hp not noted for its smoothness or the quantity (and quality) of the noise it makes.
Ford Focus
For some reason, this Ford Focus has clearly been slower and has spent more than the Mazda3 with the same engine. The Volvo C30 1.6d, which also has this engine, was a bit slower than the Ford Focus, although the difference is much smaller than that between Mazda and Ford.
Ford Focus
The diesel version of 136 hp each other out because of its high performance and very low power consumption. It has a good response from a low speed and acceleration which becomes very strong before arriving at 2,000 rpm.
Ford Focus
In general, the carrier is well insulated from vibrations often convey this type of engines at the wheel, changing gears, pedals or seat. In a high speed starts to hear a certain amount of noise of various origins (particularly aerodynamic and rolling), which is not very high.
Ford Focus
Versions of three-and five-door have the same exterior dimensions, including the battle, the ways and overhangs. The family is longer than the other two because it has a higher rear.
Ford Focus
With 4337 mm in length, a Ford Focus five-door is longer than other cars in five-door version, as a Renault Megane (4,209 mm) and an Opel Astra (4,249 mm). A Mazda 3 five-door, a SEAT Leon and a Peugeot 308 are longer.
Ford Focus
In the case of the family, the Ford Focus (4,468 mm) is smaller than other models, such as the Renault Megane Grand Tour (4,500 mm) and the Opel Astra SW (4,515 mm). In any body, has a width much higher than normal (1,839 mm).
Ford Focus
Diesel engines are a product of the agreement between Ford and Peugeot Citroen. The 90-CV differs from the other two because the turbocharger is not a variable. Do not meet the Euro 4 emissions standard in the Ford Focus, unless you keep a particulate filter. The torque values are high, they reach for their engine capacity (215 Nm 1.6 liter 90-hp, 240 Nm 1.6 liter 109 hp and 320 Nm 2,0 l).
Ford Focus
The separation between the wheels of the Ford Focus is higher than in other cars of this type. The battle is rather long (2,640 mm) but they are relatively more tracks (1,535 and 1,531).
Ford Focus
The suspension is essentially the same as the C-Max, the Volvo S40 and the Mazda 3, with any differences in elasticity, resistance of the springs and alignment of the wheels.
Ford Focus
In the two axes are the helical springs and hydraulic shock absorbers are pressurized with gas. There is an option of sports suspension with stabilizer bars and less flexible springs, dampers harder and a reduced body height (10 mm front and 8 mm behind).
