Ford Focus and the 929
WHIPS AND GRILLZ...
Focus on features for the money
Ention the Ford Focus, and certain adjectives jump to mind: Practical. Affordable. Unassuming.Exciting? Exhilarating? Uh, no.
So when I arrived to pick up my test car, a sporty Focus SES model, I was pleasantly surprised to find it adorned with 17-inch aluminum rims, a dark chrome grille, fog lamps and a rear spoiler. Far from boring, the car looked ready for a road rally.
I had a different sort of endurance test in mind, however: A week of highway and city driving with my wife and two kids, aged four and seven. There would be no mud-splattered windshields, but Cheerios getting wedged between the seats was a distinct possibility.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Inside the car, the pleasant surprises continued.
The Focus's black and silver interior exuded a refined look, and the radio and climate controls were logically laid out and intuitive. Another nice feature was the "driver's message centre" that displayed the time, outdoor temperature, radio information and vehicle direction. Located in the centre of the dash-top, the display was easy to glance at without taking my eyes off the road. Presumably, this reduces the odds of swerving into a ditch while trying to read the name of the song that's playing.
