Brief History of the Ford Focus

The Focus was first released in July in 1998 in Europe, after the successful release of the Ford Escort.         

Ford of Europe introduced the Focus to the European market as a replacement for the Escort. Problems soon arose with keeping the name ‘Escort’ due to German publishing company Hubert Burda Media having a publication named ‘Focus’. After an eleventh-hour dispute, the car was eventually launched with the name Focus. The dispute was all worth it though, as after this was resolved, the Focus hit the market to critical acclaim. The Focus MK1 was even awarded the 1999 European Car of the Year.

The first released Focus is still considered as one of the greatest motoring feats in history, being named one of the 50 greatest cars of the last 50 years by CAR Magazine.

After refreshing the models and releasing various generations of the critically acclaimed car, the models continued gaining praise for its safety credentials, fantastic handling, great performance and outstanding value for money.

The Focus today continues to endeavour to bring the epitome of power and technology, as well as progressing into engine efficiency; one of the reasons it remains the best selling car onto 2012.

Focus Electric is now paving the way from 2020 onwards into a greener future for the model and the entire Ford Motor Company.

What Should I Look for When Financing a Ford Focus? 

The Ford Focus is renowned for being a sturdy and reliable model, however, just as when buying a brand new car, it is equally important to check a used car to ensure you have no issues.

Whilst there are many misconceptions about purchasing used cars, it can save you lots of money and time. Cars are built to last for hundreds of thousands of miles, meaning you don't have to sacrifice reliability and condition when it comes to used cars.

Check for any obvious signs of rust and wear or tear, both inside and out. Make sure all lights and electronics are working as well as any unusual noises.

Make sure you go through the service history to point out any obvious faults or problems.

The default Focus used choice is a 1.6 Zetec which has many perks, however, there was a lot of surface rust on models from the 2000’s so be extra vigilant. In new Focus diesels, there are particulate filter issues, which could mean an overdue visit to the service bay.

Be sure to choose a reputable and reliable dealer or supplier for your used car purchase. Choose someone willing to help you financially and will give you the best deal. If needs be, shop around to get the best finance deal on your used Ford Focus.

The marketplace for the Focus is busy. They are in high demand. Make a distinction between a well-cared-for used car and a tired-looking one.
