The Ford Focus Estate isn't bad but doesn't provide you with enough reasons to pick it over a German alternative
The Ford Focus Estate may not be as fun as it used to be but it鈥檚 still near the top of the class for ride and handling, and is definitely worth consideration.聽
The steep asking price looks unreasonable at first glance, and indeed if your list of criteria has 鈥減racticality鈥 and 鈥渃heap鈥 in bold, red writing, you can find much cheaper, if very basic alternatives such as the Dacia Logan MCV.
However, those seeking a competent all-inclusive package 鈥 that provides a fun driving experience, excellent motorway comfort, good equipment levels and the ability to swallow a reasonable amount of baggage 鈥 would be forgiven for ignoring the alternatives from rivals such as聽Volkswagen and Kia.
