The forduk Focus Estate is one of the best cars to drive in its class, and it's available for only £13,000 when used 🙌 Read our used buying guide
Although the SUV seems to have conquered all in its path over the past few years, for many the estate is still the perfect car.
Imagine, for example, that you wanted the excellent driving manners of the admirable fourth-generation, but you needed a larger boot with a more practical opening for the family or dog or whatever your various needs are. Enter the Ford Focus Estate, a car 12in longer than the hatch and with a 608-litre boot as opposed to a 375-litre one.Meanwhile, as mentioned, Active models will appeal to fans of SUV-inspired styling.
On the road, none of the engines will set your pulse racing, but all offer adequate performance for hauling loads around. Refinement levels are good, too, with most engines not causing a fuss, and wind and road noise relatively low. The estate gets a slightly upgraded suspension setup, and in most versions it’s a fine-riding car, with the sportier ST-Line cars being a little firmer.
Inside, the driving position is multi-adjustable, and we love the uncluttered dashboard layout and orderly instruments. Visibility is good, too, and although quality is a little mixed there are some nice touches here and there. Space up front is great, and that’s matched in the rear, where six-footers will have no problems sitting behind equally tall drivers. Meanwhile, that 575-litre boot, when fitted with a mini spare wheel, is large and easy to access, with a low loading lip.
