Ford Focus is better worth

Ford Fox leaves us this year. Although this may not mean a huge deal for the United States, for Europe, it is a teeth kick. The reason is simple: it was a great car to every level to a large extent.

Until recently, Ford in Europe was about young sellers at reasonable prices and a volume wandering at a comfort for lack of money. This has been changed steadily as the company moves to Bevs, and with it, a group of cars that were artists in the background were analyzed in different films of people. Soon, the focus will join them.

It was launched in 1998, and it was an alternative to accompanying, a masculine car (mostly good too). Although it is a car in the nineties, the focus did not seem great as it was on style, but instead mixed sharp lines with long curves – he looked recently thanks to the “new edge” design language. As such, it has emerged wherever he went, making Astras and A3s at the time it undoubtedly seems the old school.

He also helped him the fact that it was great to drive. The focus alike, which was assumed by the press and customers alike, was the modern Ford for a modern audience.

The old saying says that everyone has an experience with Ford, and before focusing, there was a lot of Fords to choose from. Attached parents accompanying, they were transferred to school in Cortinas, moments were stolen in Caprice, and they crossed all kinds of things to all kinds of people on a daily basis (and let us be honest: they still do). This is somewhat. By the time when focusing on us, Cortina was a great memory for many, and the accompanying had exceeded its climax.

Ford’s focus has become a new generation. It came as an opening, sedan or real estate, which made it ideal for families of all shapes and sizes, while its engine collection saw it as a kind of things that you can transfer to a educated driver to take it on the world (in one case, Chum spent a month on a tour of the ALPS game in the focus cart, even asleep in the back on more than one occasion – both, did not die).

The legendary dealing with it was Richard Barry Jones and his team of engineering treatments. Many continued under the skin, but his rear hanging is at least the place of its magic. This came with the “Control Blade” comment, which is a multi -link design that has caused less noise, better treatment, and the low cost of the least efforts to compete.

Ford’s focus has become a new generation.

The results were somewhat amazing-a little focus could have exceeded cars several times. This kind of thinking that made it stand out, put Ford at the head of the lint, and made the competitors raise their ideas.

Of course, the Ford collection will not be complete without being fast, and the focus has not disappointed. The accuracy came first, but the stars of St170 still. The 2.0-liter hot hole was the complete thing-freshness, exciting, and … showing intentions. It is the type of car, unless you know what it is, it may not be known, but it built a solid mass base.

RS that followed, though, was Stonker. The 2.0 -liter 2.0 -liter pieces of 2.0 -liter connecting 212 hp and 229 lb -pound lbs, racing to 62 miles per hour in six seconds. Its maximum speed was on the enjoyable side of 140 miles per hour.

RS was quite the thing for early egot. A little fighting, Barbie, and front wheels, was a large hot opening for commitment. It was fun seeing in the period, and even more than that to discover one now. They were very angry in the most wonderful way and presented the concept of the RS Ford team for a new generation.

As it turns today, in the end, the focus had to develop. The second general was only … well. The problem is that the second difficult album after the beginning of the blindness is that you rarely top the thing that made people fall in love with bats. He kept the bits that made the first car good – handling, mostly – but added both size and weight. The result was not just like the ground crusher that came before, and he was accused of being an uncomfortable touch to it at the time.

(The United States got a completely different concentration of the second generation. Less say, that was better.)

However, the second generation focus appears to have been well. Ford was a more sophisticated era-it came with more games and a lesser picture in your face. It was something you can slip next to Audi and (hope) not to get any shade. As before, you can have a lot of reasonable body methods, as well as a very solid solid top. You did not see many of these. I am still doing it.

Although the main car was not the most exciting, ST was much. It came in a shiny orange color, which made it loud. The 2.5 -liter turbocharger cylinders have made the car hood quickly (a fun fact: you can have the same engine in the common Volvo C30 for Swedish cold at the pace).

Still the front wheels, it was fast, and with some nice modifications, it will be intuitive. It was loud loud, orange versus golf GTI lust for your father yet. Ford’s performance arm was not ashamed of it, away from it. Especially when it comes to RS.

Front payment, 301 hp, 325 lb -ft, the highest speed of the fun side of 160 mph, MK II Focus Rs Batshit, wonderfully. With this many power that passes through the front wheels, and although the front of the anterior suspension was made, it was still a torque.

Where the normal concentration can look delicious in places, with its wings, huge wheels and Kermit-Green, this version looked great. A lot was bought, and many (definitely) were working well until their driver uttered the immortal words, “Watch this.”

(The concentration of the second generation) was something you can slip next to Audi and (hope) not to get any shade.

When I arrived in the third generation in 2010, we knew the training. Although his initial appearance was an external touch-for some commentators (mysteriously remember that the person claims it is very similar to a Korean car, which was at the time filled with shade, but today it will be courtesy of the highest arrangement), it was a strong and predictable car.

MK III was also a global car – you can, in theory, focus in Paris, drive it to Los Angeles, and provide it in every country along the road without any problem. The focus was not necessarily “greater” in the traditional sense, but it was a strong leap forward.

He made the appearance, ST was great, but RS was where he was. All wheels with different tricks of their sleeves to keep you move as quickly as possible, the Ecoboost 345 hp, 347 lb 2.3 liters, OH, and to the extent that even your mother can come out the donkey (until I managed to get my mother to do this).

As much as Fast Fords goes, it is likely to decrease as one of the great people. Evil, fun, and … get the idea. One of the great excessive fascists was born at all. The focus on the third generation was the type of car that just succeeded. After a slight retreat, the focus returned to the groove.

The final repetition appeared in 2018. It was more informed, loaded with technology, designed to be a drop version of the car that turned into many heads throughout those past years. The thing is that the masses have changed.

The focus was born in a world where everyone and everything came with a shine of luxury and elegance; The word “premium” has become excessive in use like “exercise”. It was a car made to suit a different time. At the same time, though, it was made to do all the things that the original achieved well. It was spacious and fun for driving and efficiency, wonderfully, just a little wonderful.

There was no RS this time, but ST came with 276 hp (with a 2.3 -liter turbocharged gas engine; less powerful diesel, but Torquey was also available) a limited shedding to prevent the front wheels from getting very rough. This was not the best ST the company producing, but it was a good time when the roads became twisted.

At this time, the European market was growing up, and the world was changing. The trend towards small SUV was in full swing, and many governments have made clear that EV is the way to go. Ford first let the Eid go, then the ax fell to the focus.

The focus (which is, at least) was a practical, fun family car at reasonable prices. Effective memories were made in it, and millions of miles fell under the front wheels. First cars, first kisses, first, first … everything. The focus was a moment for Ford, and that moment ended. This is the bad thing.

The good thing is that Ford has made a lot of things that will not be focused far and faded overnight. You can bet on your ass as an uniform MK III RS will be worth a ton one day.
