The Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet had a difficult start, but perhaps the recent facelift trubbels all glossed over. A good reason to go and stroll with this convertible built at Pininfarina.
At that facelift was given a new nose, but the designers left the back intact and that means the coupe-convertible with huge buttocks still huge taillights with a classy chrome strip between stating that a Ford Focus. From the back you can barely see the car with a steel the compact mid-range as a basis, but it's those very long back bow.
Yet Ford drag benefit from the enormous rear end. With the roof closed, the Ford Focus Coup-Cabriolet offers a boot of 534 liters and that is very much for a car of this caliber. You open and close the hood with a button on the dashboard and that process takes 26.5 seconds. In the Ford Focus can comfortably open riding well above 120 km / h. In the back are two seats, but are not really generous.
The dashboard does not differ from that of the normal Ford Focus, in this test car, it is carried in a brown hue, which fits well with the interior. The Titanium has good material on the center console, which is an expensive look. The hard plastic on the doors is taking a bit out of place. Between the front seats is a large armrest with storage compartment beneath a large, top of the armrest is adjustable. Up front there is little place for stuff and the door pockets are small and narrow.
Less noise
The beauty of a coupe-cabriolet, the noise, such noise by canopy leaves less than a speck. Yet we hear what a closed roof cracking noises, especially on sharp thresholds. That makes us fear the worst for the stiffness, but that is bad.
The character of the control can be set: normal, sporty and comfortable are the possibilities, sporting a heavier and more direct steering behavior yields. In the comfortable position, it's all nice and light. The handlebar position can be set perfectly. Too bad the steering wheel buttons are not illuminated in the dark. In the heavy curves behave convertibles are fine and the inclination is bad. While accelerating the inner front wheel hits it quickly and it shows especially on a ESP light flashing.
The 145 hp 2.0 16V engine reaches its maximum torque of 185 Nm only at high rpm. You need him far beyond the 4,000 rpm to hunt there going to get well. The long of the five-speed transmissions for that matter do him little good. Because you must firmly stairs to the hallway to keep up, the Focus also consumes much more fuel than the manufacturer promises.
In the Ford left for what we hear wind noise, that the mirror seems to come. Moreover, the Coup-Cabriolet mirrors smaller than the hatchback. This is unfortunate, because the convertible is the rearward visibility is less good.
Ford knows the rider convertible in excellent pampering. In the Coup-Cabriolet with its chic on the side lacking you almost nothing: leather upholstery, air conditioning with separate temperature control, 17-inch wheels and many more things that a car enjoyable.
Verdict Ford Focus:
(+) sends tight
(+) Coach is sufficiently stiff
(+) complete equipment
(-) Performance 2.0-engine attack against
(-) Consumption is much higher than Ford promises
(-) Little room for stuff in the front
