2021 Ford Focus Active review

The Ford Focus has struggled to grab the attention of buyers in Australia. That's a shame, because even the activewear-wearing Active is a good thing.

Pros

Mature ride and handling
Characterful, punchy three-cylinder engine
Practical interior

Cons

Blind-spot monitoring is optional
Demure interior
Why is no-one buying them?

2020 Ford Focus ST launch review: manual

Ford's new Focus ST is its hottest hatchback, and the performance division has done a bang-up job crafting an agile and bloody quick pocket rocket. There's a brand new auto option, but here we test the one with three pedals.
