Ford Focus Zetec PDF Manual Guide

Appearing in local showrooms in 2002, the first series Focus attracted lots of comment with its cutting edge look. Now there’s an all new second generation, and while it retains some of the original’s design cues its styling is definitely more restrained. Buyers will have a choice between five door hatch and four door sedan, the three door not coming our way this time. Major improvements include a more powerful 2.0litre Duratec engine fitted to all models plus additional standard safety features. Across the board price reductions over the LR series will give buyers some added incentive to check out the newcomer.

COMFORT For all of its interior space the firm front seats are quite narrow in the cushion, and there’s quite a gap between the seat and door.
They’re certainly comfortable enough, especially over longer stints, but offer little in the way of lateral support . Even set at its lowest position the driver’s seat is reasonably high; fortunately there is plenty of headroom for taller people. The steering wheel has a broad range of adjustment for both tilt and reach. A 25mm longer wheelbase translates into excellent rear legroom, and with its wider, taller body, both head and shoulder room aren’t an issue. As usual the rear seat only provides real comfort for two. It’s nicely shaped, a centre armrest making longer trips painless.
