An opinion please on the Ford focus 1.6 zetec diesel 2008. Thank you
Our answer:
Hi Mike,
Decent car, and hugely spacious. Always did well in reliability surveys so that's a bonus. Just make sure it has a proper service history and that you give the 1.6 diesel a steady diet of high-grade engine oil.
