Thank you for doing English speaking reviews. You are a very comprehensive and impartial reviewer. Great!
thanks !! please recommend our channel :)
Estate looks attractive in my opinion.
I like the new styling, looks better than previous Fords.
I would never get bored of full HD, full screen, full length & let's go! Great review thanks.
That's why i never skip the intro ahah !
you mean full lens!
I think this is the first time I have EVER seen a new car review provide centimetre dimensions of the boot space, rather than just quoting the sales brochure spiel of '670 litres' . This should be mandatory for all car reviewers, it makes narrowing down your car choice much easier when you have snowboards, bikes, golf clubs etc to carry.
appreciated. We listen to our viewers, what they want, that's what we do
Agreed. I usually just wait for www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/car-search . They are a great source for precise dimension of the boot.
"Police control, not for us, we're not doing anything wrong" *immediately steps on the throttle*
Great, clear and precise reviews as always, never a dull moment. Thanks Thomas
👌👌
Congratulations Thomas, you are the best motor journalist on the web.
Recently I bought a new car, your reviews were really helpful to make up my mind...
Now I have the new Ford Focus Hatchback ST-Line with 17 inches alloy wheels, I think the car is very comfortable if we chose to use the right tire pressure - indicated by Ford 2.3 psi - or a little bit above - 2.5 in front and 2.4 in the rear. When I picked up the car from the dealer the tire pressure was about 2.8 and the driving experience was quite rigid.
In my opinion, the new Focus is an excellent car, good looking, fun to drive and very, very safe.
Keep on with the good work, cheers from Portugal.
Thanks so much ! Good info !
So pleased I came across this channel. Very comprehensive reviews and also very entertaining. Great work!!
welcome !!
Hello from Australia 👋🏼
Have you drive the 1.5L automatic yet? Would be interested to see your thoughts
Hey, we have 2 more current Focus reviews here:
ruclips.net/video/ECkkKXUeKcw/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/_bRBRS0hqV4/видео.html
Great review, I love the look of this new ST Line estate, and in red it looks fantastic!
Funnily enough, the brochure colour that you see here is called "fantastic red" (don't know if you knew that?)
Thanks! Looking forward to the full screen, full length, and full HD review :) It would also be interesting to see the ride comparison with the non sporty suspension Titanium trim level.
It looks so sleek and down to the ground. I'm loving it,
just watched your report ,i have nearly the same car and i think you did a good report and even learned something new .. dankeschön weiter so
thanks and stay with us =)
This review is excellent. I know I’m two years late but I’ve been researching Focus and deciding whether to go for the hatch or wagon (estate) for family use. After watching multiple focus reviews, this one is the best as it compares both and is exactly the information I need. Thank you!
sure you re welcome! :)
In full hd, full screen, full length let's go. AWSOME review Thomas. 16:57 I thought you are going to hit someone😂😂
Love your reviews mate. Very in depth and engaging. Also I picked one of these Estates up :)
Enjoy 😊
Great review thanks Thomas.👍 I would definitely choose the bright metallic blue colour but upgrade the wheels to 17". Looks impressive overall, but I echo what others say......would like to see a review on a Titanium/ Titanium X model with the non sports suspension.
Excellent review!! Maybe with bigger wheels might look better! Looking forward for a f/l tucson review! :)
I thought you were going to say “two metres and ten centimetres” but you made me smile when you said @15:51 “two metres and a hand”. Now I know it is two metres and a Thomas hand :). Good review Thomas and the Autogefühl team.
Which feature did you most like and dislike? I like the both the blue and the red colour on this car. I hope they will soon release a hybrid and a electric version among an all wheel drive version, but perhaps that the all wheel drive will only be to be Mondeo and S-Max/Galaxy for a while.
=)
like/dislike: I think I noted that in the conclusion!
It's a great that station wagon is making comeback
All time favorite channel 😄😄 ...Awsome review 👌👌
I have a bit of a problem because I have a Focus wagon, and when I'm considering what I would buy next, everything has a worse trunk and worse interior space, except Skoda 😂 I can fit a baby buggy vertically at the side of the trunk and still have about 500 liters left to work with on the other side, and underfloor storage for a folding crate, jumper cables and a picnic blanket
I've owned a Ford and it was just the same: quite good looking, good handling, quite cheap but also not so solid build as VW. And comfort at that time also lacked behind.
Yet another great review Thomas, and they don't get any better than this. Thank you. I'm looking for a new estate, NOT an SUV, and I quite like this new Focus. The bright blue is my favourite colour also.
thanks, keep recommending :) !
Nice review. I want to get one of these Focus station wagons - with a stick shift - and ship it back to the USA.
Others complain about the looks. I care not. Lots of room for hockey equipment, groceries and trips to Florida.
Hi, l found your review to be be very balanced and fair, with much the same views as my own.
I do not have a new Focus Turnier but my test drive found much the same as yours.
I like the Turnier model because it looks really very sporty, having said that the Hatch version has never appealed to me.
The front of this version l feel is rather ugly, unlike the previous face lifted models.
The rear of the Turnier is a slight improvement although possibly a little Volvo influence creeping in.
I would have liked to have seen a split tailgate entry arrangement allowing the opening of the rear window without the need to open the whole rear door to make the car even more versatile.
Inside the additional length is long overdue of course and now it may be to late in the day.
The mechanics of the focus speak for themselves and are excellent .
Thanks 🙏
This is a great review. Good job!
How exciting! Thank you Autogefühl!
Thomas, why are you not mentioning the very different rear suspension set ups in the Focus line-up? The Estate has a different set up than the hatch, also different set-ups on the level of engine power.
Great review. Many thanks.
Thanks! Feel free to spread the word :)
Great review and great car. Some very useful feedback from Thomas. Ford have to improve the interior design and assembly. They do not offer digital instrumetation either. They should benchmark VAG cars when buidling their interiors.
Cheers!
Great looking budget estate. Love to see how this compares with the Fiat Doblo
Am I the only one that finds the proportions of the car a bit strange? It does not look slim or sporty in my opinion. In addition, if you use real exhaust pipes (which I think is good)....why make it assymtrical (I mean, on the left you see the same as on the right but with no exhaust pipes)
Yep definitely not a good looking car. Tipo is the cheapest car in the segment yet looks sooo much better.
I'm a fan of kombis/tournier/station wagon/estate or whatever you call it. And regarding new focus I have to admit that hatchback looks way better than estate. I personally don't like it's profile and this weird trunk window. Also it's a bit overpriced. Astra K in similar configuration costs less.
Wheels too small.
@@rmpumper exactly this
it looks bloated. unfocused design.
Great review Thomas. Im probably going to order one of these with 8 speed auto 2.0 diesel 150 engine.
thanks m8!
Focus just won the car of the year award in Finland by beating A-Class and Ceed. Not bad.
Great review 👌🏽
I'll take this over CUVs ANYDAY
I'd take this over almost anything in it's segment. Unfortunately, again they won't bring it to North America. I've given up on them.
As always, great review by Thomas!!
thanks keep recommending us!
Once again, as an auto enthusiast living in the US...I remain deprived... :( ...though I will say, while unable to purchase these cars where I live, these videos are the next best thing! Thanks for the great content, as always!
Edit: I'm definitely going to have to agree with you on that bright blue, Thomas!
👍
Thank you for review Thomas. Gray is fine to me
Living across the pond all I can say is I’m so jealous.
Nice review.
Hey Thomas, I see you don’t (never ?) use cruise control. It gives you more freedom to focus on other things without having to keep an eye on your speedometer. Thank you for another stress free test. Please continue your great car tests 👍🏻.
We do in a lot of tests
That's reds of the late 80s/early 90s that at least 50% of Fords came in. Like the silver-grey of its day!
Agreed this looks a good package. The main question is what will break or fall off after a few years. And Ford dealers aren't always the best.
I have the same tire model on my w211. Excellent choice.
What was that "clicking" sound from exterior driving shots? But as always great review Thomas!
At 6:33, Thomas discovers a "small cubbyhole" to the lower left of the steering wheel. I was all set to get rid of my Ford Focus with 11 years and 200k miles on it, but I finally noticed that little glove box and decided to keep the vehicle!
🤗
This model is getting bigger and bigger with each generation and parking spaces in car parks hadn't got wider or longer and roads are still the same width as before. Its probably the same size as the next model up the Mondeo from the previous generation!
no, as a mk4 Mondeo driver I can tell you it's not. The mk 4 Mondeo is still 17 cm longer, 6 cm wider and over 100kg heavier than the new Focus. The curent (mk5) Mondeo is even longer.
The most intresting difference is the trunk. The new focus has over 600l of cargo space with the rear seats up. That's massive, more than any mondeo and even more than many E segment cars. It is only when you put the seats down you will notice the car is not that big and the additional size of D and E segment cars becomes apparent.
I agree on the parking issue, every centimeter you ad to your car makes it harder to park. Especialy in urban garages. In the end the focus wagon is just a C segment hatchback with a big trunk, but still smaller than a Mondeo
Ford isn't very 'focused' on build quality. Didn't know this before. Thanks, Thomas!
=)
How is the interior quality compared to the Skoda Octavia for example? I've also watched your video about the new generation of Skoda Octavia and I cannot say this feels much different, apart from the infotainment system (a lot nicer in the Skoda).
I recently drove a Ford Focus 1.0T ST line in Race Red as a Courtesy car I like it very much but I prefer bigger engines.
Can you please review new Kia Ceed SW now. There are no reviews of it in English, only German.
Or he can comparison Ford Focus sw Kia Ceed sw petrol 1.0 lt engine would be nice by Germany eyes :)
Great review. I however disagree with you regarding the dashboard design looking aged. It is contemporary and functional, thankfully retaining actual buttons and physical shortcuts instead of dirty screens and slow menus that could potentially cause serious accidents in the name of gadgetry modernism. If it works best, don't change it ;) As for build quality, these are typically pre-production cars improving considerably over time. Considering promotions and discounts and the fun you get at the wheel, this car should be a much needed huge success seeing Ford's poor selling results in Europe lately.
Thanks for the feedback!
Having just bought one, I do agree somewhat with him about the interior design. It's absolutely fine, nothing wrong with it. But it could have been 5 years old. It's certainly not amazing like the new A-class and Peugeot 508. Considered the C5 Aircross and it sure looks a lot better inside, but the driving dynamics and technology of the Ford won me over (and an unbeatable lease deal, woop)
Great Video as ever from fantastic Autogefuhl team. Always Thomas Blue
Not sold on the side profile, but I really like the hind quarters. The front is an evolution of the previous gen focus, so that is OK. Ford build quality has never been the reason to buy their vehicles, though crappy trim fitment at eye level and loose mirror parts seem like a particularly poor engineering / production decision. I think that the 16" rims are nearly perfect, allowing taller tire walls for rougher roads into camping destinations or post winter pothole navigation. The engine choices are rough once that estate is loaded up with more than one person, luggage, etc. How is the brightness on the infotainment system screen? It looks quite dim in the video. Damn, I wish that Ford would offer this revised Focus hatch and estate in the USA.
16" wheels are probably just there because of winter wheels. ST Line will probably have 18". People rarley get large rims on winter wheels. Expensive and low profile is bad in deep snow as snow gets inside the rims and can cause vibrations as it freezes etc. And small rims will somewhat protect the brakes from salt splashes. Looks weird on this ballony sport styled car though. But it's the reality of the winter part of the year - at least here in Sweden :P
I'd say that low profile tires really doesn't affect how the car handles bad roads though. I have 18" 225/45 winter wheels and it works just as fine as anything els.
It looks a bit like a boat but it's
definitely nice to see some different designs!
Hey Thomas, great presentation as always! If you were to choose between a petrol Golf mk7 and a 2018 ST line Focus hatch for your own personal day to day driving, what would you pick?
hey m8, best to compare our golf videos here:
ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=autogefuehl+vw+golf
Thomas don't ever stop doing that "full screen, full.." etc. intro. :-D
=)
whilst i like the blue that thomas does, i think its going to be a very popular colour so i would probably go for the magnetic grey instead
I prefer the hatch over the estate. I can't put my finger on it, but it don't look right, maybe its the small diameter wheels....
I wish Ford would put the speedo and tacho together and then put the minor gauges at the ends of the instrument cluster. I go the opposite of cross-eyed when I look down to see road and engine speeds :-(
I never liked the dip in the side lines/curves on the car. Looks like the car was dented in the middle.
metalic blue looks great
metallic Red of course!
All the swooping curves for a small car are a bit annoying. Getting into the back without hitting your head will be difficult, as will loading a child into a safety seat. I see a mix of BMW and Mercedes A class in the dashboard shapes. Overall, VW's way of more glass, and straighter lines makes a more practical and more useful car without looking bad.
the rear Doors do not open enogh,its a Problem for me
You're so eloquent. Great review. Got an ST Line X on the way
What a great review
Great review.
I am looking out to buy car under 18K to 20K
Priorities ~
Less on maintenance
Good fuel economy
Robust engine
Could you pls suggest me good vehicle.
Note - I am new to Germany.
Driving experience of 13 years with Honda Civic and Honda City and Polo GT from India.
really good watching this as some reviews here in Australia are absolute rubbish...
thanks, keep tuning in !
Maybe the Signale Version does have a better interior? It is still the same car, but as other car manufacturers, they maybe step up the build quality with the trim levels...
Well, back side is a little bit close to new Tipo combi style.
I would love to know how the Titanium version drives...it is always the ST-line journalist tests. And how is the brand new 8 speed auto gearbox ? Anygood compared to the VW dsg ?
Fully agree. They should have gone for a different suspension set up. They could have gone for the ccd adaptive suspension as it's a new addition to the focus range
Well, almost any automatic out there is a better day to day gearbox than the DSG. I really don't like how the DSG reacts in town driving.
Very nice interior, much better than i expected and much better than most cars in this range. Shame that its a Ford.
Good as always Thomas.
My favorite color is definitely Thomas Blue. Thanks friends definitely good job 10 points 5 stars 👏👏👏
The bright red colour does not suit the Focus' shape. It would look much better in a darker colour and with 17 or 18 inch rims, as Thomas says.
I actually like the assymmetrical exhaust.
What is better, Ford Focus Estate ST-Line 1.5T 182hp or the Toyota Corolla Estate hybrid 2.0 180hp. Same size, same power. What is better to both daily drive and sporty drive?
We bought the Ford Focus 1.5T ecoboost wagon, great car!
Was a new camera used for this? The intro shots are especially good.
I like red pepper red. My favorite
When (Mk4) ST & RS are launched out the factory doors ~ I'll be watching with interest !
Excellent review. Sad Ford no longer offers the Focus series in the US and Canada. Shame- all CUV's and trucks with the exception of the Mustang. The Fusion is still around for 2 years.
Thanks 🙏
What is the width of the rear door please to load wide objects?
amazing review dude! from Spain
Gracias!
great car ive had 3 [one was wrote off][one i gave to my oldest lad 1.8. petrol he loved it]and i got a tdci 2010 at moment....ps had a golf which was tripe [i kid you not im not a car buff in fact a to b for me but its top notch]this looks the dogs karakas
Wine red color is nice, looks same as my Granddad old 93' Fiesta, but it is called cherry red.
Have this galvanized body? I have Focus 2, if it compare with same age cars here, to example with Toyota , my cars bottom is very rustic, Toyota is clean.
I don't care about the interior looking dated. THEY DROPPED THE PIANO PLASTIC! Good work Ford! Took you long enough :P Otherwise I agree with most people here. It looks to bulky and round for the size it is. But so does the Octavia and they both have the advantage of better interior room than their competitors. SO in one way it's refreshing to see that they went with practicality over form.
The 16" wheels matched with the ST body kit doesn't help though. I think it will look alot better with what I guess is 18" stock wheels. OR the base version without the ST Line bodykit and 16"-ish wheels. Sporty exterior styling and small wheels rarely match.
The Octavia has never been assigned to the cmpact class- that's why they made the Rapid.
I used to have a Vxl Astra Sports Tourer 2.0CDTI SRI 2013 in red.
metallic red estate for me!
Nice review! I'd always put handling and driving experience in front of most of other components of a car, since we spend most of the time handling it, right? Interior, both design and comfort wise is already an improvement comparing to previous generation. Dating it 5 years old is too harsh. Sir, please, a metallic gray hatchback for me!
thanks keep following !
@@autogefuehl I hope to see Focus Active reviewed as well!
@Aleksandar Zolotic - Agree with you - but in the UK we don't spend most of our time 'handling' our car. We spend most time in traffic jams, or stopped at roadworks, or moving slowly over broken-up tarmac. Then there is usually a low speed limit on other roads! A nice interior that you look at when stopped is good thing in a car. And soft springs for the potholes!
For german roads the ride is just fine. Firm, but far from "harsh". I once drove a 2007 "Seat Leon II FR" for a couple of months, that one had a really harsh (bumpy, shaky) and upleasant ride (and that opion comes from a way younger me). The ST-Line just feels very well planted, not to much body roll, while at the same time smoothing out the bumps very nicely. I was very positively surprised by the ride quality after having seen some reviews calling it "too firm".
@@crttft9203 Hah, of course, I see you're point as well. Good thing is responsive steering will save you from most of the potholes.
Did anyone on the design team not stand back and say, 'hang on a second, those wheels look too small'?
Hi, i saw your video, and it was quite helpful. Just want to ask one thing , i am planning to take it for Switzerland trip, especially in mountains areas, so will it be good considering its ground clearance?
Thanks 🙏
Switzerland has normal roads
@Autogefühl So will it be good to take this car in switzerland villages?
Btw your video quality and audio are phenomenal. These 2 parameters are making your video different from others. Hats off and highly recommended.
Sure np!
Thanks please recommend 😎
Thomas you are always so relax and good professional,if i have that good car,,,can i have 3 babys and 2 adults in there ?i dont want to buy a huge suv ,,,i want something and for city rides
Cheers! Yeah the offering of space is quite decent
yes ok with new style lights, but have you seen how awful looks with cheap halogen lights which are most like 8 of 10 cars on road?
Thomas, what spec would you choose to have your Focus if you were getting one? Trim, engine, colour, equipment? I just bought one, interested to see if you would have done it differently :)
Hehe, good question, not the ST frankly :)
@@autogefuehl Excellent! Because I didn't either :D I went for Active Tournier, 182hp auto in Chrome Blue. I also think Dynamic Blue is the best but it's not available for the Active..
Sounds great :)
Is there really more leg room in the estate? It's very rare for manufacturers to change the wheelbase length (or the position of the seats). Normally it's just the boot area that's extended.
See my direct comparison. Not a big difference
I'd say that bird can really FOCUS :-)
Great vid as always....now.
A) looks better than the Astra
B) rear of estate looks just like the fiat Tipo estate, which looks good.
C) the focus badge looks naff in my opinion.. I have seen a few around already in the uk.
D) would never buy a petrol ford, not after the reliability issues and the 2 litre diesel bhp is VERY low.. So as a prospective customer the octavia is looking better alround
Still the best red paint shade is on the Mazda 6.
yes Soul Red Crystal Metallic is good, so is Machine Grey. Ford's best colour just now is Magnetic (metallic grey).
Hot pepper red. That's my favorite
Great Video Thomas - what is your opinion ? focus - ceed or golf or wait for new golf :D
Thanks! Tough questions. They all have their pros and cons.. seen our Golf reviews?
Test driving the ceed soon as well
@@autogefuehl -Thomas golf is only facelift - kia allready won the comparison with golf on autobild. Me opinion is wait for new golf and mazda 3 in 2019 :D
