About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
As far as i can gather, Ford are stopping making the 1.6 version and replacing with the 1.0 eco boost so they have surplus 1.6 stock to get rid of before the new reg comes out in March.
Price includes a dealer discount of £2100
You have to take out Ford finance to get a further £1950 discount but you can definitely pay it off after the 1st payment if you don't want credit.
The price also includes £500 discount for test driving a ford car (nationwide for promotion for Feb)
Price includes 6 months road tax (although i got 12) and 1 year AA cover.
Red is standard White is £275 extra and metallic is about £575 extra
I got a free diamondbrite pack in mine, but you have to ask for that :-)

What a naff comment.
The 1.0 is smooth with a strange growl to it and pulls much better from low revs as well as being very quiet at motorway speeds.
The problem however is the fuel economy is over 20mpg below Fords official figures.
It's averaging 34.5 with a mixture of town and dual carriageway driving which is pretty common rather than the quoted combined figure of 56.5.
Due to the small engine the turbo is always on boost running well over 200,000 rpm hence a lot of fuel is forced into the engine to achieve the power output it gives out.
The 1.6 at that price is worth going for price wise as the economy is known to be slightly better than the 1.0 in real world driving .

doesn't say what the BHP is, but the PS figure is usually close. The 1.0 ecoboost for the standard Focus is 125PS. I got the Focus ST170 at the mo, which is 169BHP.. the 170 in the name is the PS figure

The Ecoboost comes in two engine's - 100ps (98bhp) and 125ps (123bhp)
The 1.6 is smooth, better on fuel and very quiet in comparison.
Better stick to your Scalextric posts - you clearly know nothing about full size cars.

Skoda Octavia, a bigger car than this Focus uses a 1.2 engine. ( amongst others ).
Does this mean i could get it for 2 grand less ???
But was the 1.1 you were loaned the 'EcoBoost' version as is being discussed here? The whole point of the 1.1 ecoboost is that the fuel economy is better than a 1.6 and performance is supposedly similar.

If the 14 plate would be worth the extra £500 at trade in time to loose the test drive price reduction for the earlier registration is the question?

This is a great deal!
Should suit Steptoe and Son, it is a Ford after all.(_;)

I read that and thought "200k rpm's? that pretty high for a turbo, arent they normally up to 150k rpm's? surely that cant be right!" ... so i went and researched and I was right, they dont have a maximum of 200k rpm's, the 1l ecoboost engine turbos go up to 248k rpm's!!
WTF?

No it doesn't...... Ford Privilege (employee discount) is always on top of any deals you can get in the dealer.... A Focus Petrol with Privilege currently gets an extra £1700 off.
Might explain why some owners of Fiesta Ecoboosts have destroyed their turbos.
There is no 1.1 and all the 1.0 focus models are Ecoboost.
That "growl" is the rattle from that god awful 3 cylinder engine, I'd take the 1.6 any day.
Nope.
That's RRPs for you. Sometimes imaginary, though always inflated to make people believe they are getting a deal. It works very well, a lot of people are very gullible.
