Ford Focus Estate (2011-2017) interior

Plastic quality is pretty good but the build and design are lagging behind newer alternatives

Style

The sheer amount of buttons can make the Focus confusing to operate at first

The dash is well laid-out, but there are more conventional buttons than you get in the Volkswagen Golf, which can make the Focus a little confusing to operate at first. The Golf also uses more high-quality plastics than the Ford, although the gap between the two has never been closer.

Overall, there is less space than in close alternatives and the design is dated

Infotainment

The sheer amount of buttons can make the Focus confusing to operate at first

The Latest version of Fords Sync 2 voice activation system is a handy addition, it can be used to control many of the car’s systems, so your eyes can concentrate on the road ahead, and can also read text messages aloud.
