Automobile Ford Focus, which replaced the Escort model, which has long been asking for retirement, has become one of the best-selling cars both around the world and in Russia. The Ford Focus reached its peak of popularity in 2001-2002, becoming the best-selling car in the world. Something similar to the Ford Focus was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1992. It was the CW170 platform, kept secret by Ford for many years. Many independent experts believed that she was destined to become the base of the new Ford Fiesta, but Ford engineers decided otherwise - they saved her for the Focus.
In 1995, the first Ford Focus spy photos leaked onto the Internet. From them, of course, it was difficult to judge all the features of the new model, but even from these low-quality shots something revolutionary blew. The forerunners of the Ford revolution in design were the miniature Ka and Coguar, and finally, in 1998, the revolution happened - the Ford Focus saw the world. It is worth noting that until the appearance of the new model, they were going to leave the former name Escort, but, given the global changes, it was decided to change the name as well.
Not only has undergone major changes appearance Ford Focus cars, but also interior. Smooth lines are somewhat reminiscent of Ford Mondeo, while echoing in moods with the "baby" Ka. And the concept of the new suspension was simply admirable. Ahead - the usual McPherson, and behind - a four-lever branded Control Blade. Automotive critics greeted the new Ford Focus quite enthusiastically. Ford Focus, the cost of which was lower than direct competitors, such as or, in addition to obvious consumer advantages, had a very high level of safety. On crash tests, Focus received four stars out of five possible, which was a rarity for cars of this class in those years. All these factors made the popularity of the novelty simply inevitable, and already in 2001, on the wave of unprecedented success, an updated version of the Focus appeared.
The novelty was full of innovations. Ford body Focus received new headlights with separate sections and integrated turn signals. The salon has also undergone many changes. In addition to adding new options, which include climate control, an audio system with a CD changer and a navigator, the interior of the Focus has been enriched with fresh new shades of the center console. The driver and passenger seats were changed, the color scheme of the body expanded. Appeared and new engine- European Zetec 1.6.
In general, the range of engines that can be installed on the Ford Focus is quite wide. Powerful engines volumes of 1.8 and 2.0 liters were borrowed from the "big brother" - Mondeo, and more economical engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters - from Fiesta. Ford Models Focus, originally equipped with only one Endura TDDI diesel engine, known since the eighties. It was replaced in 2002 with the Duratorq TDCI, which was more economical, environmentally friendly and more powerful.
The Ford Focus car, at the customer's choice, could be equipped with four types of gearboxes: two five-speed mechanical ones - the flimsy IB5 and the reliable MTX-75, a six-speed manual Getrag 285 and a four-speed "automatic" 4F27E.
Looking ahead, we say that in all generations of Ford The Focus was offered in four body styles, namely three and five-door hatchback, four-door sedan and five-door station wagon. In addition to the basic options, the Ford Focus, whose configurations were already very diverse, could boast of two "charged" versions - ST170 and RS.
The ST170 project appeared on the market in 2002 and was the European interpretation of the Focus SVT, top version sold in the United States. Thanks to numerous technical and cosmetic improvements, the Ford Focus ST170 has become a sports car. Sportiness was seen in literally every detail, ranging from seventeen-inch rims and ending with a honeycomb grille. The interior of the car, like its exterior, was replete with chrome inserts. As an option, magnificent Recaro sports seats and a 9006 Stereo system were offered. The engine was modified by Cosworth, whose engineers increased its power from 130 to 170 Horse power. Cosworth also touched the brakes, exhaust system and gearbox (six-speed manual Getrag 285).
Almost simultaneously with the Ford Focus ST170, an even hotter relative was born - the Ford Focus RS, which was equipped with a two-liter engine with 212 horsepower. The Ford Focus RS is the direct successor to the Escort RS 2000, which was discontinued in 1996.
At the Paris Motor Show in 2004, the premiere of the second generation Ford Focus took place, which was first presented with two body types: three- and five-door hatchbacks. The four-door sedan was presented to the public later, at the Beijing Motor Show.
AT updated version Focus pumped, though with minor changes, the suspension, which has proven itself in the first generation of the brand. The rigidity of the body was increased by ten percent, which improved the handling of the car. The dimensions of the new Ford Focus have become larger due to the increase in all parameters (length-168 mm, width-138 mm and height-8 mm). Accordingly, increased wheelbase car. As a result, the Focus interior has become much more spacious.
In addition to the change in size, there was a clear improvement in the interior, primarily due to the use of more expensive finishing materials. Gone is the cheap plastic and dull seat upholstery. The front console also changed for the better and began to resemble the flagship Mondeo. New options include a keyless entry system, stereo voice control, new climate control and much more.
The second generation Ford Focus, whose prices and configurations, as before, were out of competition, demonstrated an outstanding level of safety for its class. Ford Focus, a C-class car, received the highest ratings in crash tests for driver and passenger safety and a solid four with a plus for pedestrian safety. The results were noticeably superior to those of the main competitors, such as and.
The engine range has not been completely updated. The economical 1.4 and 1.6-liter versions were only modified, but the Zetec-SE engines were completely replaced with new Duratec power units, led by their flagship Duratec Ti-VC. This engine had improved efficiency and high torque thanks to the Ti-VCT system hydraulic phase shifters, which are installed on both camshafts. On later models, the displacement of this engine was increased to 1.8 liters. The original Zetec engines of 1.6 and 1.8 liters also gave way to Duratec HE engines. The Americans borrowed this engine from the Mazda MZR. Updates have been made and diesel engines Focus - borrowed from the French 1.6-liter diesel engine with 90 horsepower and a two-liter Duratorq.
It is pleasant to note that a huge number of technical innovations and upgrades had practically no effect on the cost of the Ford Focus, which still remained a car available to the widest consumer audience.
The next restyling model was subjected to in 2008. The hatchback went on sale first, followed by the convertible, ST, and sedan.
Ford Focus, the review of the latest generation of which can take dozens of pages, has acquired a lot of innovations. First of all, eye-catching external changes. In the appearance of the new Focus, the philosophy of "Kinetic Design", inherent in Mondeo, was clearly traced. The radiator grille acquired a trapezoidal shape, the taillights were placed vertically and were stylized, as well as the tailgate. The wheel arches have noticeably widened.
The interior has also become much nicer. The plastics of the control panel and front console are softer, and the backlighting has acquired an aggressive red tint, adding to the feeling of "drive". The car, among other things, now has an engine start button instead of traditional keys. The new proprietary PowerShift transmission, which is an analogue of the DSG, which is installed on Volkswagen, can also be classified as technical innovation. The range of engines has been supplemented by a new 110-horsepower Duratorq TDCi engine with a volume of two liters.
At the end of 2008, Ford launched the Zetec S series. The Ford Focus of this modification received a fully sporty body kit and a powerful, torquey engine corresponding to it. The sporty character of the novelty can be traced in almost every detail. Buyers liked the aluminum pedals, aggressive metal lining on the handbrake and gear lever so much that many began to order a sports kit even for cars with conventional engine. Of course, due to restyled Ford Focus, its price has increased slightly, but still remained at a competitive level.
To date, the history of the Ford Focus car ends with the 2012 version. This model embodies all the traditions of the company, laid down by Henry Ford. New Focus has absorbed all the best from its predecessors, adding to this a unique elegance combined with a bright sporty appearance. The car impresses with its technical characteristics, and if you consider how much the Ford Focus costs, good impression quickly develops into true love.
In the new Focus, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. And it doesn't matter if we are talking about a sporty three-door or a regular five-door hatchback, a four-door sedan or a five-door station wagon. New fog lights fascinate with their elegance, and the radiator grille and lining on the body - with a chrome shine. The salon is equipped with comfortable seats with "tender" upholstery. The quality of finishing materials is beyond praise. The climate control system and heated seats allow you to achieve a comfortable temperature for both the driver and passengers. The Ford Focus has an impressive range of options and, despite all their variety, is very easy to operate, thanks to the new MyFord function. Via the eight-inch screen located on the center console, the driver can control almost every function of the car. Safety, as in previous models, is on top. It is represented by the IPS (Intelligent Protection System). In case of signs of danger, it promptly activates the protection systems that are optimal for a given situation. The range of engines is equipped with the EcoBoost system and now Ford Focus engines are not only powerful and economical, but also cause minimal environmental damage due to reduced carbon dioxide emissions. New Ford Focus, the price of which starts at eighteen thousand dollars, can rightly be called the best city car. Moreover, this title has been repeatedly confirmed by the high sales of this model around the world.

In the guise of the fourth generation, only echoes of the previous generation can be caught. She has a more massive hexagonal grille with a large plastic mesh.

How fuel consumption is measured
All measurements and tests are carried out in laboratory conditions. When measuring fuel consumption in the urban cycle, the engine is started in a cold state. To provide real conditions, the engine runs at different speeds. The maximum speed during testing is 50 km/h, the average speed is 19 km/h, the distance of the intended trip is 4 km. Immediately after the city, tests are carried out for the extra-urban cycle. The movement of half of the improvised section is carried out at a constant speed. The maximum developed speed is 120 km / h, the distance is 7 km. When calculating the indicators of a mixed cycle, the average values for previous cycles and the distance traveled in each of them are taken into account.

Ford Focus release 1998 - 2005 was in high demand. Prices for FF 1 were affordable for the mass consumer. Good quality at a reasonable price. The most spacious salon among classmates, worthy specifications, acceptable cost.
Then the concern began to produce domestically assembled cars, which were offered at even more attractive prices. The number of FF owners grew exponentially. Among the second-hand, there are more of these versions. They have their drawbacks, but I find a used FF to be a worthy choice.
Body and chassis
Focus comes in three variants: hatchback, station wagon and sedan. Choose any - the benefit of the offer allows. No wonder FF is considered very popular model. The rust resistance of the body is good. However, on a domestically assembled car, you will find many uneven joints. Someone might say that this is not up to par, unprofessional. Indeed, the first batches were collected not quite qualitatively. Although now it is practically impossible to find differences between the machines of the Russian and European assembly. I do not recommend taking cars of the first batches Russian assembly, it is better to look for later versions or Europeans (although they are more difficult to find).
Running Focus is quite strong and reliable. It is designed for our roads, for this reason it does not cause as much trouble as the suspension of classmates. No overhaul required up to 160,000 km - very economical. Achilles' heel - stabilizer struts, which are consumables. But replacement is not expensive.
Motors and transmissions
Often problems arose with 1.6-liter Zetec engines with 16 valves. Dynamics was frankly weak. The reason was that a version of the SE engine was delivered to our country, the power of which was reduced by 10 forces in order to be able to use 92nd gasoline. This motor was improved only in 2002.
Also for the Russian assembly, they supplied a 1.6 liter Zetek-E engine with 8 valves manufactured in South Africa with a timing chain drive and a cast-iron block. He was not capricious, however, and not very frisky. FROM automatic transmission there were 1.8- and 2-liter engines. Their disadvantage is the short-lived fuel pump.
The cooling system is a big problem. After 80,000 km, the thermostat bursts, the outlet of the stove. Often the tank lid valve is buggy.
Gearboxes are quite reliable. Naturally, with timely maintenance. The clutch on the manual transmission lives up to 160,000 km.
Other problems
Unsafe locks. The key pattern disappears over time, for this reason it is better to make a spare, which, by the way, will be expensive. The disease of used Focuses is the knock of the steering rack. All FF owners sooner or later face its replacement or repair.
Price
Minimum 150,000 rubles. Perfect condition from 300 000 rubles
Conclusion
Ford Focus 1 is good quality at an acceptable price. The operating costs do not exceed the costs of the VAZ. The only thing I do not advise cars from taxi companies, they clearly squeezed all the juice out of them.
