I read here how the dude drove a Corolla, a Camry, a BMW X6 and now praises the Ford Focus? After such machines, I would not even look at him. I had a nine, a dozen, Lancer 6, Lacetti, Priora, Octavia and now Focus 3, Euro 5. Stupid like a boot, it doesn’t go at all, ...

My Focus hatchback was purchased in 2012. in the configuration Trend, automatic, 1.6 and 125 forces (which is a little better than the base one., before that, I only drove other people's Zhiguli, someone else's Mazda 3 and the trade wind of some ancient year was also someone else's). I chose a car for two in order to carry my ass from Moscow to a village in the Tula region, and sometimes to work, and in principle I didn’t choose it, I liked it externally and came up with the money. security package (pillows) and comfort (dimming mirror, climate and something else). along with packages, not counting gifts, as I now understand, these are not disadvantages. It keeps perfectly on the track, there is not enough motor, but with a slipper on the floor with a delay of a second, you can get away from difficult situations, since there were a minimum of such situations. The car literally presses to the asphalt at speed, side wind or trucks are not terrible. without lumbar support, but for which, again, there was enough money. The box switches in sport mode very well, but with jerks, but clearly and quickly, which was very pleasing. The interior and trunk are small, but on this car, when there were already three of us, we calmly traveled to the same Tula region and back almost every week , and this is a 640 km round trip, it’s quite comfortable for everyone to drive, I emphasize again, I don’t compare with a higher class or a more premium car brand. We also drove this car to Bulgaria with a huge amount of things 4 adults and here I realized that behind when it’s comfortable to sit in front, there’s no place at all in the back, since we had ladies with a cap and we put them back. On that trip, I understood what EPS and ABS are and how they work in real conditions when it’s night, snow and a truck or roadside and believe me, they work)) they literally hold the car. The sound insulation in the car is disgusting, but it is disgusting when you drive on bare asphalt on studded tires, as soon as you change shoes for the summer and soft rubber is generally heaven and earth. I don’t know about anyone, but regular music (not Sonya) was installed in that focus, but it doesn’t sound very bad, I understand what a good sound is, but it’s just not very bad for a regular base radio, but the doors began to rattle after a while regular loud listening, but compared to other cars of which I saddled a lot later after the purchase .. this is quite worthy, for a car in this class and for that money. In the car, there is a torpedo where there is soft plastic, somewhere hard, all the squeaks of which were not many, surprisingly, since I watched video reviews and tore my hair out, why did I buy myself such a g.. but if people after 10 t.km there everything shakes and falls off. So here are the squeaks from the doors due to the not tight fit of the plastic and in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe radio where the hole for the SD otherwise nothing creaked anymore, for doors and music you need additional noise, but with the console of the radio I don’t know what and to do so that it does not creak, well, actually it irritated all this, but I got used to it. Excellent climate potsavil and forgot that you need to regulate something, tell everyone it’s the same climate, no, you type in Google climate control does not heat up or vice versa does not cool or overheat)) I know because I came across, but this is again a comparison , but it’s different for everyone. For 112 thousand km I had 1 repair, it was a repair under warranty, since oil flowed from under the sensor gasket, they changed it together with the sensor and that’s it. Ford was the first to install it) so it’s not only very convenient and at the moment it’s far from being on all cars of a different class, so I have it for 112 thousand km, it didn’t change, but it was chipped, but they were on the outside, and then nothing went on . this is a check engine light, it lights up and turns off when it needs to. For the first time on a trip to Bulgaria, somewhere in Romania they decided to rest at a gas station and refueled, and then it caught fire and the Bulgarian official Ford engineers did not find anything, saying that the gasoline is probably bad and it’s like nothing terrible “we threw everything off, go”, I didn’t tense up jokingly then, then on the way back, it caught fire again and already in Moscow, engineers from the same Ford said the same phrase, and then it was so regular that I forgot to throw off the check if the car hadn’t lost power and was driving normally (by the way, these were words the engineer of the Ford center on the phone)))) and the light went out, and then lit up, and refueled at both Gazprom and Lukoil and BP, don’t care, well, you get used to this too, although at some point there was a desire to buy a unit for a connection and reset errors and then for each time he gave 700 rubles with the understanding that for a while)) Clearance) clearance is really small)) but) if it weren’t there, there wouldn’t be such advantages in road stability. And he completely let me drive along the road after a snowfall with a rut from tractors or other more powerful machines. True, Grandfather (wife's father) always spread rot this clearance as you like or not, but he gives all the conditions to rub his belly and transfer this entire sound set to the salon, but he didn’t get stuck in anything where he rode, but I didn’t get into shit at all, but I not crazy. Well, my father-in-law’s roads are not sugar either. In general, the car was satisfied, but it has its drawbacks, but in the car that I had, they were not significant, maybe I got such a batch or something else, I don’t know, but I remember him only with good words. Subsequently, when choosing a car, I came across such things that I was in focus and did not think that there could be a problem or absence. For example, the same climate, windshields somewhere without heating at all, or only brushes, glasses fly like seeds, suspension, and so on. Yes, the car is not ideal, but with limitations, with a minimum of functions, but there is a price-quality ratio, I don’t know about the rest of the instances, but that was all good.

It was presented to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in early 2010. In August of the same year, the novelty was demonstrated in Russia at a specialized automobile exhibition in Moscow, but the cars went on sale only a month later, in September. The first Ford Focus 3 hatchbacks embodied a combination of practicality and drive. On the one hand, the dynamism and aggressiveness of their silhouettes emphasized the fact that the car was developed primarily for young, ambitious, active and easy-going people who are not able to live a single day without adventure. On the other hand, practical family men could also appreciate the transforming, roomy interior.

Despite the fact that this model easily gained popularity among motorists, Ford did not stop there and in 2012 presented to the court of motorists new hatchback Ford Focus 3 2012. The exterior of the novelty has not changed much. Only the details have been improved: the hood has become more embossed and aggressive, the optics have acquired a smooth cut, the stern has become rounded, and the taillights have been deformed and shifted from the racks to the wings.

Unlike the exterior, the interior has changed a lot: the standard interior trim has been replaced by a designer one, and ascetic materials have become more expensive and of higher quality. The front seats received excellent lateral support and the widest range of adjustments.

Meanwhile, in the rear seats of the modified Ford Focus 3 hatchback, it has not become more spacious: it is still cramped for three passengers of average build. In addition, the trunk volume has been reduced by more than 5 liters, and the full-size spare wheel, which occupies the lion's share of the luggage space, has not been replaced by a stowage.

The Russian versions of the hatchback began to be equipped with two versions of the atmospheric power unit 1.6 TiVCT (105 or 125 horsepower), as well as 2.0 TiVCT (up to 150 horsepower). In addition, a diesel modification has become available to consumers, equipped with a 2.0 TDCi engine capable of developing up to 140 horsepower.

Currently, the hatchback is presented in the following four versions:

• trend sport;
• Ambient;
• Titanium;
• trend.

The basic configuration of the Ford Focus 3 hatchback "Ambient" implies the equipment of the car:

• power windows for front doors;
• sixteen-inch steel wheels and decorative caps;
• steering wheel with adjustable reach and angle;
• ABS systems and;
• for drivers and front passengers;
• electric drive for rear-view mirrors;
• rear spoilers painted in body colors Ford Focus 3 hatchback 2012;
• audio training;
• height adjustment of the driver's seat;
• locks with remote control;
• attachments for child car seats.

The car in the Trend configuration is additionally equipped with:

• audio system;
• heated rear-view mirrors;
• air conditioner.

The Trend Sport version is additionally equipped with:

• light alloy sixteen-inch wheels;
• ESP and EBA systems;
• sports type front seats;
• fog lights;
• alarm;
• heated front seats;
• on-board computer;
• rear power windows;
• side airbags.

The Titanium version involves equipping the hatchback:

• center armrest for the rear row;
• light and rain sensors;
• interior LED lighting.

Approximate cost Ford Focus 3 hatchback performed by Ambient is 472,000 rubles. In the “Trend” configuration, it, depending on the equipment option, varies from 515,000 to 635,000 rubles, in the “Trend Sport” configuration - from 581,000 to 787,000 rubles, and in the “Titanium” version - from 653,000 to 812,000 rubles. Summing up, we can say that the novelty has “gained weight” in all areas, from the quality of the interior finish to the handling. Thanks to the changes that have taken place, she has every chance to repeat the success of her predecessor and become the undisputed leader in her class.

New Ford Focus 3 hatchback, sedan, station wagon.

January 2010 was a big month for the Detroit North American Auto Show. The world premiere took place Ford Focus 3rd generation! At the exhibition, all those present saw the new Ford Focus 3 hatchback And sedan.

Geneva Motor Show, where he presented Ford Focus 3 station wagon took place in March 2010.

Production of the Ford Focus 3 is already being manufactured at exactly five of the company's plants: Chongqing (China), Saarlius (Germany), Wayne Michigan (USA), Rayong (Thailand) and Vsevolozhsk (Russia). Cars are sold in 130 countries of the world.

What is the design of these three beauties?

The front part in these three models - sedan, hatchback, wagon, is the same. The headlights are oval, in expensive versions there are xenons and LED daytime running lights. A sports bumper, an impressive air intake and foglights. The front of this novelty fascinates with a fairing bumper. It has an air duct, which is divided into three parts by jumpers (vertical). The aerodynamic skirt going down attracts with its brightness.

Going up vertical jumpers go to the hood with ribs. A swift look is created, thanks to the heavily littered A-pillars. On the sides, you can immediately notice the bright ribs on the doors in the upper part, and at the bottom of the sample-stamping.

Insanely foldable look due to the adjusted increased wheel arches. This model is distinguished by a domed body shape. The 2012 Ford Focus sedan and wagon have a flatter roofline, but the windowline rises aft in all views.

The hatchback has the most attractive rear part due to the original overall lampshades of an interesting shape that extend beyond the wings. The luggage compartment is endowed with a neat door, which is located on the border with the bumper. In expensive versions, it borders on a diffuser. Focus 3 sedan is inherent in food with large chandeliers. It is very stylish and original, because the small trunk lid, which is located high, the rear is very powerful, decently inflated rear fenders and wheel arches create a simply breathtaking image of this model. It's nice to look at the neat marker lights, the large tailgate is very convenient. Here everything is where it should be.

All Ford Focus 3 new bodies feature the kinetic design of the Iosis Max concept look.

The size of the Ford Focus has increased.

The length of the external overall dimensions of the Ford Focus 3 hatchback, sedan, station wagon is 4358, 4534, 4556 mm, the width for all body types is 1823 mm (with mirrors 2010 mm), the base dimensions are 2648 mm, the height is 1484, 1484, 1505 mm, clearance (ground clearance) Ford Focus 3 - 140 mm (for Russian versions, the clearance is increased to 165 mm). Drag coefficient Cx - 0.274 - 0.295 (the new Focus sedan has the lowest body). Thus vehicle clearance amounted to 140 mm.

Interesting interior.

As mentioned above, there is a kinetic design, the interior is made only from the highest quality materials, the ergonomics here are meticulous, the high level of assembly. The steering wheel is perfectly adjustable in depth and height, it is convenient because it has an optimal shape, four spokes with tides for a comfortable grip. The control buttons are located simply on the steering wheel itself, so taking the steering wheel in your hands will be a great pleasure. There is also an on-board computer display, with excellent impressive graphics.

The front panel of the center console have beautiful lines and curves. The rectangular and large shape of the ventilation system deflectors provides excellent protection. Great comfort is given by the fact that you do not have to reach for the parking brake handle. It is located close to the pilot. The gearshift lever is in the right place.

The seats are well padded, not too soft, not too hard. They have a beautiful profile and there will always be room on the side for a comfortable hand position. On the large center console, there are many different buttons with the right functions. In expensive trim levels, the Focus 3 cabin contains a huge amount of electronics. The tunnel between the seats in front is uncomfortable with its width and height, drivers and passengers of a normal build feel a feeling of constriction between the door and it. The interior of the front is like a sports car, similar to the Focus WRC rally. It will be difficult to climb into the rear seats due to the high threshold and narrow doorway. Only two people will be able to accommodate more or less freely there.

The trunk of the Ford Focus 3 hatchback holds up to 1062 liters of usable volume.

372 liters allows you to fit the trunk of a sedan, the station wagon will hold 476 liters, and folding the back row 1502 liters.

Running and technical characteristics.

In Russia, one diesel and four gasoline units are made for the new Focus 3.

Gasoline: 1.6 liters. (85 hp) with 5 mech. Gearbox and 1.6 liters. (105 hp) - 1.6 liters. (125 hp) - 2.0 liters. (150 hp) with 5 manual transmission or automatic transmission with 6 steps PowerShift.

The front and rear suspensions are independent, with MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link rear suspension with the Torque Vectoring Control system. This system is needed in order to be able to enter the turn better, namely, it slows down the inside of the rear wheel. The brakes are disc, electric power steering is worth. There are also electronic assistants that are installed in a separate case.

The road behavior of the 2012 Ford Focus 3 is stable and very predictable, which ensures safety and reliability. Steering wheel turn - 2.6. Potholes and bumps do not create problems, thanks to a successful suspension. Although on large bumps there is not enough energy intensity. The car is very thoughtful, it’s not scary to fly off the road in sharp turns, it drives just fine in a straight line. The Ford WRC racing team has tested this model and provided a solid review. The 2012-2013 Civic Focus embodies this experience and is one of the best options for the European C-Class.

Focus 3 with weak 1.6 liter engines. (85 hp and 105 hp), according to customer reviews, do not bring joyful experiences. Weak acceleration and problems with dynamics are noted. The most optimal choice is 1.6 liters. (125 hp) with 5 manual transmissions.

Models 2012-2013.

For an additional fee, in the simple entry-level configuration of the Ford Focus 3 Ambiente, air conditioning, a 3.5-inch monochrome display on the dashboard, a CD MP3 head unit with USB, 6 speakers, EVA is an emergency braking assistant, ESP is a stabilization system, Torgue Vectoring Control - an electronic differential lock simulator, as well as side airbags.

The base Ford Focus 3 Ambiente has power mirrors, a Ford Easy Fuel system (no filler cap), ABC with EBD, power front windows, a telescopic steering column, driver's seat lift, a pair of airbags, 16-inch iron rims and central locking.

The Titanium version is not bad: R16 alloy wheels, interior lighting with LED lamps, light and rain sensors, dual-zone climate control, hill start assistant, engine start with a button, lumbar support, which is adjustable on heated sports seats, alarm with sensors perimeter and volume. But even the most expensive version comes with separate features for a fee: LED running and bi-xenon lights, power driver's seat lights, LCD displays on the dashboard and center console (4.2 and 5 inches), cruise control, navigation, automatic valet, rear view camera and more.

Price for 2012-2013.

It doesn’t matter if something interesting and fresh has appeared or not, prices are still getting higher every year. What is the price of Ford Focus 3 2012 release?

In Russia, this figure starts from 532,000 rubles for the simplest version of Ambiente 1.6 liters. (85 hp) with 5 manual transmissions. The price tag for the Ambiente sedan is 632,000 rubles.

Station wagon in the configuration of Titanium 2.0 l. (150 hp) with 6 PowerShift automatic transmissions, which has a full range of additional options, such as leather interior, R17 wheels and a great variety of electronic assistants, costs more than a million rubles.

Ford Focus 3 hatchback, station wagon and sedan - builds for every taste, quite reasonable price. Many will appreciate these models. For a large family, you can also choose a convenient option.

Ford Focus always finds its buyer, regardless of generation. The first Focus will please those who appreciate good driving performance, and the second - those who are looking for an inexpensive roomy car, devoid of serious flaws.

The Ford Focus Mk.III debuted in 2011 and went through a facelift in 2015.

The third Focus can compete with any of its predecessors, but, unfortunately, it has lost some of its practicality. Inside is not as free as in the Ford Focus 2. Part of the space was eaten by an enlarged front panel, which forced the driver and passenger seats to move back. As a result, the second row became a little tighter.

You don't have to rely on a big trunk either. The 5-door hatchback with a spare tire under the floor offers just 300 liters. Far from ideal and station wagon, which has at its disposal 490 liters. Disappointing and sedan. Instead of the standard 500 liters for the segment, the owner will find only 475.

As befits a modern car, the Ford Focus 3 can be equipped with numerous security systems, in particular: a parking assistant, an unintentional lane change warning system, automatic high beams, a traffic sign recognition system, adaptive cruise control, a blind spot monitoring system. Most of them were available only in the richest trim levels and only for a fee.

Many people will like the interior design. It looks nice and modern. True, the multimedia screen, by modern standards, seems too small.

Engines

Ford Focus 3 got a wide range of powertrains. The backbone is formed by 1.6-liter aspirated Duratec with a capacity of 85, 105 and 125 hp. As an alternative for Europeans, a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder EcoBoost was available with a return of 100 or 125 hp. A 1.6-liter EcoBoost was also offered there, generating 150 or 182 hp. In Russia, the top was appointed Duratec with a capacity of 2.0 liters, developing 150 hp. After restyling, its place was taken by a 1.5-liter Ecoboost with a return of 150 hp.

On the European market, cars were also offered with diesel engines of 2.0 and 1.6 liters. Both turbodiesels were created jointly with the PSA concern, but the aggregate part does not completely coincide with the French counterparts used by Peugeot and Citroen.

Which engine to choose?

Those who buy a Ford Focus 3 with a mileage of more than 100,000 km, of course, should only consider gasoline aspirated. This is the safest choice. In the event of a malfunction, the motor will not require large repair costs. The 1.6-liter Duratec uses a Ti-VCT variable valve timing system and port fuel injection. The main thing is to periodically check the valve clearance and change the timing belt every 120,000 km. The 2-liter engine has a chain-type timing drive. And instead of distributed injection, it is equipped with direct injection.

The EcoBoost series motors have a similar design to Duratec. But turbocharging and direct injection radically change the character of the engine. It becomes not only dynamic, but also economical. At least as long as the driver maintains a calm manner of driving. It should be understood that the Ecoboost series units are a typical example of downsizing. Small engines operate at high loads and therefore have a limited resource.

As for diesel versions, it is better to choose a 2-liter engine. But it will be difficult to find it. 2.0 TDCi is devoid of serious shortcomings and is able to overcome more than 200,000 km without any problems. Reliable enough and 1.6 TDCi. Both turbodiesels need periodic timing belt replacement.

Typical problems and malfunctions

Transmission

In general, the third Ford Focus is not a problem car. In any case, if the PowerShift robotic gearbox is not installed. The most harmless ailment is oil leakage in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe right axle shaft. It is much more unpleasant if the TCM box control module fails (35,000 rubles) or the clutch unit wears out prematurely (30,000 rubles).

The leakage of the oil seal of the right axle shaft is also observed in cars with a manual gearbox.

Engines

Fortunately, the mechanical part of gasoline engines does not cause any problems. You only have to deal with trifles, such as a worn-out right support of the power unit (7,000 rubles), a failed oxygen sensor (3,000 rubles), a fuel pump in the tank (15,000 rubles) or a leaking timing solenoid valve (3,000 rubles).

It is worth noting that the fuel system of the 2-liter Duratec uses a high pressure pump. HPFP is sensitive to fuel quality. A neglectful attitude to the choice of gas stations can cost the owner from 20 to 30 thousand rubles.

At the moment, there are few complaints about EcoBoost. Among the recurring faults, only mass air flow sensors (MAP) are listed. There are also complaints about the engine control program, in which errors are periodically detected. However, the problem is typical for all powertrains, which Ford solves with regular software updates.

Chassis

The suspension is able to withstand 100,000 km without intervention. Later, you will have to replace the stabilizer links, thrust bearings, and sometimes one of the front levers. After 150,000 km, it is the turn of wheel bearings and shock absorbers.

For your information: the suspension was equipped with two interchangeable types of levers - steel and aluminum. In the first case, the ball joint can be replaced separately, and in the second case, only together with the lever.

Steering rack knock is a common thing. Extraneous sounds, as a rule, pester only on unpaved surfaces, where the car moves quite rarely. Fortunately, this defect does not affect security. In rare cases, repairs may be needed to the electric power steering (10-20 thousand rubles).

Electrician

Power supply problems occur after 150-200 thousand km due to generator failure, as a result of brush wear or a voltage regulator malfunction. You will have to pay about 10,000 rubles for a new generator, and about 3,000 rubles for a regulator.

Electrical failures can also be caused by a failure of the BCM (GEM module). Water from the washer gets on its contacts.

Body and interior

Corrosion, if it occurs, is only on the elements of the chassis and exhaust system. Its presence does not cause any concern. After winter, you should check the shutters that cover the radiator grille to quickly reach the operating temperature of the engine. Due to contamination, they may remain in the closed position. The device was installed only on diesel modifications.

Quite often, owners complain about fogging of the front and rear optics. In addition, they note the periodic appearance of a small amount of water in the trunk (from the vents hidden by the bumper) or in the front passenger's feet (from the air conditioning evaporator).

Sometimes the head unit or the electric window drive fails (drive corrosion). With age, interior elements and the stove motor begin to make noise (7,000 rubles).

Market situation

Today, a worthy copy can be purchased for 440,000 rubles. Among the proposals, versions with a 1.6-liter gasoline aspirated dominate. There are four times fewer cars with a 2-liter Duratec, and diesel modifications and inflatable Ecoboost can be counted on the fingers.

Conclusion

Of course, the third Focus is not the best representative of the class. He lacks interior space, and the workmanship is average, but he is held in high esteem in the secondary market. Nothing surprising. Focus falls short of the ideal quite a bit, and the cost of purchase and maintenance is low.
