Well we’ve been driving the new Focus now for 6 weeks and I thought I’d mention a couple of the things that I have found to be somewhat disappointing. Now the standard list price of our 1.6 EcoBoost Titanium model is £19,745 plus we have the “Candy Yellow” tri-coat paint job at £745 the “Driver Assistance Pack” at £750, the … [Read more...]
Well the time has come. I have been putting it off and largely procrastinating about it but the time has come to test out the Ford Focus “Active Park Assist” which is part of the £525 “Convenience Pack” optional extra (which also includes electrically assisted folding wing mirrors) on our Focus 1.6 EcoBoost Titanium. This pack is only … [Read more...]

I managed to take the Focus out on an extended run down to London this week so I really got to see just how good the 1.6 litre 150PS EcoBoost engine is. Now I should point out that MTI is being courted at the moment by a new suitor, people or persons who must remain unnamed (for now) who would like to acquire our site. I should also point out that … [Read more...]
Next up in our line-up of cars from the important crossover segment is the Skoda Yeti. Skoda Yeti review What is it? Let’s get one thing out of the way straight away shall we? The name. Despite the negative connotations surrounding the name “Yeti” such as it being the “abominable snowman of the Himalayas” and being well, … [Read more...]
If you remember last week’s instalment I left you with a little bit of a cliff hanger (well that probably makes it sound a little more exciting than it actually was but you get the idea). The Focus had been banging on about the tyre pressures all week and yes I had checked them and they seemed OK so I figured it must be some sort of computer … [Read more...]
OK week two with the new Focus and the discovery of the usb port hiding discretely in the glove box has been an unbridled delight. 8GB’s of tunes and audio books to get through before we have to hand the car back at the end of next month. Realistically I am not going to get through them all, even if I started driving now and didn’t stop for six … [Read more...]
The ford focus, being the UK’s best selling car of the last few years, has given a welcome profit to many a car dealer. It is a bit of a “go to” car for the independent dealer because there are invariably so many about. They have always been good value for money and a ‘bread and butter’ selling opportunity. The Focus has also been a … [Read more...]
Next up in our line-up of cars from the important crossover segment is the Ford Kuga Ford kuga review What is it? The Ford Kuga is based on Ford’s C1 platform which also underpins the Focus and C-Max. Built at Ford's Saarlouis plant in Germany, the Kuga first went on sale in 2008 and is offered to the market with only Zetec or … [Read more...]
