My mum has a 2008 focus diesel, It's pretty good to potter about in.

Sorry that's the best I've got!

Driven a 1.6 petrol, drove well for what it was.

Apart from the iffy reliability of the TDCi engines, they're nice cars to drive.

The issues they had with the early TDCi engines were resolved in the newer ones - they're completely different engines in the Mk2 Focus/Mk4 Mondeo than the Mk1 Focus/Mk3 mondeo.

The 1.6 is reasonable and capable of silly mpg figures, but the 2.0 is the one to go for IMO

Driven a 1.8TDCi. Drove alright, made reasonably progress, excellent MPG, average interior

Had a 1.6 TDCI 05 plate myself, great MPG, around town, lots of stop/start traffic would get ~45mpg, stick it on the motorway at a steady 70mph and you can expect to see 62+mpg.

Servicing, repairs etc are all cheap as parts are readily available and reliability wise the car was flawless for the time I had it (13 months).
