What really makes these Focuses so much fun is the great feel of steering (very accurate and well balanced even on my 1999 mk1 1.8 hatchback) and the awesome cornering ability that I love.

It is independent suspension and Richard Parry Jones. mk1 Focus is perfect fwd car even today. mk2 Focus steering is a bit better.

Your driving is very competent and impressive. And it's nice to watch your channel you've done well for a long time I've been watching your channel on all the machines you show yourself perfectly.
I own a 2004 ZTW! Mine is a slushbox automatic unfortunately but the handling is very, very good. Great suspension, reasonably quick with the 2.3L Duratec. Same silver color and alloy wheels as your example. A good car.
My Dad Still Has his Mk2 1.6 115HP its now 15 years old he bought it when it was 2.5 years old and still Reliable and the Boot Space his amazing he had a e46 320i Touring before which barely had more room and was just unreliable it had over half the value of the car at the time in repairs and the car was 6 years old . The Focus as only needed a new Exhaust ,Brake Pads,Washer Bottle Pump and a indicator Bulb thats it in 15 years .
Meiner ist von 2002 mit inzwischen 256000 km runter. Er fährt immer noch wunderbar und bisher müssten nur Verschleißteile gewechselt werden. Rost hält sich in Grenzen, abgesehen von den Schwellern. Werden beide dieses Jahr hinten am Radkasten erneuert. Sonst ist es ein sehr treues Auto.
This shitbox kept me taking to places, even Europe trips for 8 years. I am still grateful for this quite reliable car, but i have changed to opel astra J, and truly, steering with a focus was somehow much more fun. Also Focus diesel engine would go for another 20 year
To fakt .. Jedynie auto z tych "starych" które ma futurystyczny wyglad . Sam posiadam focus ale w kombi z silnikiem 1.8 rowniez ;) + gaz ;P W swoim zyciu to juz moj 3 focus ;d wczesniej hatchbacki . Jedynie co mnie w nich denerwuje to to ze kierownica ochodzi opornie ;D ale taki chyba ich urok
Niedawno kupiłem od babeczki 65r.sprowadzone z Niemiec w 2009 i tylko jeden właściciel w pl. 1.8 99rok.ponad rok stał na podwórku nie używany, dałem 1100 zł wsadziłem 1300. Pewnie jeszcze z 500 połknie choć już jest po bad tech. Klima coś nie halo, silnik krokowy i któreś łożysko. Te 1300 wsadziłem profilatycznie wymieniając wszystkie płyny filtry i aku. Auto niemal bez rdzy. Zbiera się gorzej jak a3 z 96 z 1.8 pod maską ale nie narzekam
I have a 2004 focus 1.8 zetec. It goes 85km/h at 3000rpm at 5. gear. It means uncomfortable high way drive unrd high fuel consumption. Is there anything wrong with my car, is there any solution about this? Thanks for answers

I've wondered the same. I believe he rents the cars out temporarily so he can set up his cameras and film a drive. In this video here for example: ua-cam.com/video/Jyv_3crHJP0/v-deo.html you can see on the back of the car at about 0:23 there is a sticker that reads "FleetCenter rent a car". Or maybe he just asks for a test drive.
I also found this reddit thread that wonders the same thing, a few good answers in there which probably are more accurate than mine www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/azyfey/how_are_youtubers_able_to_test_drive_expensive/
miałem focusa, również z 2000 roku tylko to był 1.6 zetec, i ogólnie pamiętam, że było to zwinne i super trzymające się zakrętów auto, które fajnie wkręcało się na obroty, niestety pomimo mojej heroicznej walki zgniło na wylot, nawet dach zaczęło brać. Gdyby focusy były lepiej zabezpieczone, to byłyby na pewno jednymi z lepszych aut w historii a tak niestety, mimo pięknych wspomnień z podróży nienawidziłem tego samochodu, za to mój blacharz je uwielbiał, tak jak każdego innego focusa XD
One of the best car ever.
Is it better then the opel astra h ?
@@Emstacksze.m oh yeah
Yep
the MK2 is even better
@@Kaktus5001 no way...mk2 was like a did all the design went into the mk1 so no effort on mk2
Great driving car, best suspension in that category.
Świetne auto w świetnej cenie, jego wygląd po dziś dzień się nie zestarzał w mojej opinii
Dokładnie, szczególnie polift starzeje się bardzo wolno. Jak dla mnie wygląda lepiej niż następca ;)
Ale wymiana chłodnicy klimy... jest zespolona z chłodnica wody... także nie oplaca się naprawiać....

I like interior of this car. Also it seems to be comfortable on highways. It's really cool car for 2000
Still look great. Great quality. Good engine.
