2nd Generation Ford Focus 2004 – 2011
Launched at the Paris Motor Show in 2004, the second generation of Ford Focus was the first to use the Ford C1 platform that was shared with the Volvo S40 and the Mazda3 thanks to the Global Shared Platform Program which was in place between the 3 vehicle manufacturing companies at the time. The basic construction of the second generation Focus was similar in most ways to the first generation (see below), but the design stylings were significantly different to its predecessor. In 2005 it received its first facelift as well as the launch of the Ford Focus ST. These later model second generation vehicles included one more slight styling update in 2008 and are still popular today thanks to their reliability and economical driving characteristics. Did You Know? This generation of Ford Focus received the best possible marks for safety during its Euro NCAP Safety Test. Not only was it awarded 5-stars for overall safety, but it received an almost unheard of score of 16/16 during its frontal impact test.

1st Generation Ford Focus 1998 – 2004
The vehicle that started it all, the first generation of Ford Focus hit showroom floors in July 1998 and replaced the Ford Escort here in South Africa. The Escort was an iconic car the the country, but yet the Focus easily filled its shoes (or is that tyres?) thanks to its mechanical reliability and fuel frugal nature. In 2001 the Focus received its first ever update, and this included a number of feature additions, many of which were optional. Some of the most impressive were the inclusion of: Revised headlamps Revised bumpers without indicators Revised upper and lower grille Revised fog lights Optional Xenon headlights Optional 6-disc CD changer Optional Navigation System Optional Digital Climate Control Additional to all of this a TDCi Engine was introduced to the Ford Focus range and an Optional Versatility Pack was also made available. Did You Know? In 2002 it was claimed that the Ford Focus was the most reliable car between the age of 1 and 3 sold in the New and Used Vehicle Market in Germany. This is quite a feat for a non German (European) vehicle! Even more so when one realises that it is not a luxury sedan but a Compact Family Car.
