The Focus is one of the most enjoyable of these cars to drive on
twisty rural roads, as the chassis clings to the pavement through the bends with a handling balance that is decidedly European.
On the drive, which was comprised of delightfully
twisty rural roads and a lengthy stint on the Autobahn averaging 160 km / h, the diesel returned an average of 7.1 L / 100 kilometres.
