The UK's best selling car at the
moment; the Ford Focus, is a comfortable and versatile mode of
transport, according to the manufacturers, who claim the latest model
is longer and wider than before.
With a variety of body shapes available
in several trim levels, the Ford Focus costs from £11,395
on-the-road for the three-door 1.4 Studio model, to £19,200 for the
1.6 16-valve TDCi Titanium estate with Durashift CVT transmission.
The most basic Studio model standard
equipment including electrically operated front windows and central
locking, while its low car insurance rating in group 4E will have
been aided by the array of safety features in and around the vehicle.
These include features such as Ford's
Intelligent Protection System, including driver and front passenger
airbags, side airbags and front seatbelt pyrotechnic pre-tensioners,
while standard anti-lock braking with electronic brake force
distribution will help to avoid accidents happening in the first
place due to drivers locking up.
Additionally, the ISOFIX seat mounts
allow drivers with young families to secure child seats much more
easily in the back of the car.
Indeed, Ford manufacturers describe the
car as the safest in its class, citing its five star Euro NCAP rating
– factors that are crucial in deciding a particular vehicle's motor
insurance grouping.
Drivers looking for Ford
car insurance may also find the standard security features
of interest, such as immobilsers and central locking, which can be
operated remotely in the LX models and above.
The Ghia model, which includes various
luxury features, is fitted with a Thatcham category one volume
sensing alarm, to ward off burglars and keep car insurance claims to
an absolute minimum.
Except for the range of
high-performance Ford ST models, the maximum motor insurance grouping
for any car in the Ford Focus range is 10E, which is generally for
the Ghia and Titanium range models.
