I have just sold my 2017 LZ auto hatchback. In my 2 and a half years of ownership I found it to be well built with few discernible rattles or squeaks, the structure was very rigid. The rear view camera is large & clear. The controls are simple to use and it had a good heater and cool air conditioning. Over 18,000 km I averaged 8.8 L/100 km, with 90% of the km's being city/metro driving. It's initial acceleration was not overly brisk but once at 40 km/h and above its mid range performance was strong. At 110 km/h its revs were 2,000 rpm. The ride was a bit firm around town, dropping the tyre pressures from the recommended value helped improve the ride. Overall I was happy with the car and had no problems.

Bought this car as second owner with 73,000km and i love it! it looks great drives great couldn't ask for anything more! Never had any issues at all, its great on fuel too! it would be amazing for a first car owner the fact the base model comes with sat nav and cameras is amazing (mines an ecoboost)

Great little car for basic running around. Packed full of features. Lots of boot space for its size. Feels more like a larger sedan to drive but has the convenience of being a small car for city parking. Loads of tech so its full of features and feels more like a premium vehicle than a small run about

Perform stable and smooth with high speed especially on highway. Engine is quiet.

But the interiors are quite rough, some plastic part come out just after two month purchasing. Air con not very good as running slow.

Think about the safety, it’s quite reliable hatch car with around 20k price.

A spritely performer with well weighted controls and great steering feel. Quiet and comfortable cruising on the highway and still responsive enough to offer this old petrolhead some fun in the twisties.
No warranty issues at all after 28000km and fuel consumption typically between 6.0 to 7.5 litres / 100 km.
Sync 2 infotainment / nav superior to many much more expensive cars.
No complaints from me and no intention of trading up any time soon ... well done Ford.

My Jan 2016 ford focus is a great little car, drives smoothly no issues so far great price at time, is the one without the trouble power shift. Good size small family car, good size boot compared to the little brother Fiesta.
Great inclusions with the trend, nav, reversing camera, but missed out on Apple car play by 6 months. But honeslty
not needed if you have nav included with blue tooth, as apple car play uses your data.

Please do passed bad reviews of powershift models scare you from non.

I have the base model trend hatch and could not be happier with the features- handling- power -and overall style of the car.This car feels and drives like a six with 132kw on tap and good torque.The automatic gearbox is seemless in shifting and the turbo has no lag when flooring from a standstill.The sat-nav sync 3 is so user friendly with a big 8 inch touchscreen.I highly recommend anyone considering this car to buy one it's really a no brainer for the money.

We bought the new focus, Turbo engine in March 2016 and it has been nothing but a pleasure to drive this car. It's easy to drive around, has got the power in its Turbo and is perfect for city and long distance driving. Great fuel economy too!!!

The interiors are great. The sound system, Bluetooth, sat nav etc and e all touch screens. The cruise controls, volume, FM tuning etc are all buttons on the steering wheel that gives the driver ease of use. Everyone was surprised to see the SAT Nav but this feature is a standard in the base range of the Focus trend (upgrade in most other cars)

Overall, love the car.. winning blue has won our hearts.

The 2016 Ford Focus (LZ) is a huge improvement on the previous LW model. The Powershift transmission and dual clutch have been replaced with a conventional Torque Converter automatic transmission. It's an extremely smooth ride from start to finish with the 1.5l ecoboost engine giving plenty of power.

On an open road or city driving it handles perfectly with no excessive noise and economical petrol consumption.

Inside, the Sync3 technology is intuitive and easy to set up and operate. In fact you get more you'd expect for the base model, Trend.

I haven't had it long but his time Ford got it right - a pleasure to drive and a huge difference to previous models.

This is an awesome vehicle- We upgraded our 2011 Focus to the 2017 LZ model we optioned it with the tech pack. Yes- you will want to take the long road home- such is the overall driving experience with this vehicle . The engine/ gearbox combo is best I have ever come across. The sitting position the overall dash/ touchscreen is perfect as is the sat nav -- The "tech pack" includes adaptive cruise control which once you have used it is a must have. Had it only for 3 weeks 400k - too early to comment on durability seems well built. Economy average has been 6.7l/100km on the 1.5 litre turbo.

Done 2500kms. Nearly run in. Engine and auto trans combination fantastic. Handles great and quiet to drive. Fantastic power from the engine. Gets to 100 kph with no effort. Overtaking easy. Good stereo and navigation. Got the $300 convenience pack. Should be standard. Seats very comfortable. Great space inside. Average petrol usage 7.2. Lots of country ks though.
