Ford was not in my consideration set until a coincidental test-drive which led to a subsequent purchase.
On the performance:
Responsive. Powerful but tend to be a little loud when I push it slightly more than 120km/h. When going uphill at Genting, I used the recommended (S-Gear) but was taken aback by the loud revving (up to 6.5 x 1000) before changing to the next gear. Honestly, it sounded like as though I was torturing it real badly. To be fair, the drive mode (D-gear) was good enough to bring me up the steep elevations along Genting Highlands.
On the Handling:
Precise handling sums up the experience. Even as I drove through a puddle in a heavy rain, the car was within manageable control though it did "float" for a few milliseconds before regaining its steady form. Manoeuvring through sharp bends at comfortable speeds are also made possible with a combination of supportive driver seat and reliable steering wheel. Another thing I like about this car is the sensitive brakes which puts me in control whenever I have to do emergency braking to avoid accidents.
On the Features:
No complains at all. I totally love the sound system, one of the best factory-fitted speakers I have experienced. Loud bass, clear surround sound, steering wheel function buttons are plus points. Other "mini" features which usually do not play a major role in carbuyer's decision making process includes bluetooth handsfree, Iphone Aux Port and keypad for dialing.
On the Interior:
5 grown ups with no fear of numb legs and shoulder rubbing incidents during a long drive. Boot space is a little on the stingy side as compared to my previous car but its enough for me to do a week's grocery shopping on weekends.
On the exterior:
I still have a fetish on the previous model in which it looks sportier. The new Focus Hatchback is a refined car with a non-provocative look which I am skeptical about.
On the Fuel Consumption:
Crowd Pleaser. At 11-14km/l on average depending on the roads i'm on. It is on par with most car available in the market category.
If you're looking for a compact family car with superior features, this is it.
