2005 Ford Focus Review

Drive it and you'll understand why it "begs to be driven." 2005 Ford Focus is another Ford masterpiece that speaks of Ford's renowned excellence from its external features down to its interior, handling, suspension and powertrain. It specially appeals to its buyers for its first-class design, powerful engine and reasonable price.

Biggest change for this year is the new engine line-up, including a super-clean Duratec 20E 130 hp engine. It is more powerful and more fuel efficient. The Duratec 20 engine offers 136 hp while the most powerful Duratec 23 engine, which is standard in the Focus ST, generates 151 horsepower. While these engines balance performance and economy in a vehicle, it also virtually eliminates fuel evaporation.

 

Body Styles offered for 2005 Ford Focus are: the three-door ZX3 hatchback, the four-door ZX4 sedan, the five-door ZX5 hatchback, and the ZXW wagon. The three-door hatchback features a sporty look and is economical, practical and fun to drive. Five-door hatchback makes it easy for rear passengers to get into the car. The sedan is comfortable to drive while the wagon provides room for your cargos.

 

Subtle changes are noticeable on the exterior while there are more on the inside. It retains its roominess and high roofline for headroom. Expect a more traditional look inside the 2005 Ford Focus with the previous dash altered. The instrument panel was restyled and the passenger areas are divided by two rectangular climate control registers, the hazard switch and a shallow center stack.

 

Four colors are offered for the interior. Lighter shades for the lower portion of instrument panel and door trim panels are used. Also offered are cloth and leather upholstery. More exciting features await you in the 2005 Ford Focus. With its practicality, style, performance and affordability, you will surely love this car!
