Commenting on the arrival of the latest edition of the critically acclaimed model, Pye Motors Dealer Principal Nick Payne said: “Focus re-wrote the rule book when it first arrived at dealerships a decade ago and the range has evolved into what we believe is one of the most complete family cars on the road today. “The arrival of this latest version adds a dash of class to this exceptional vehicle and I invite customers to see it for themselves and make up their own minds. Bold, beautifully built and with an exceptional choice of bodystyles, engines, transmissions and trim levels, new Focus is a typical example of the world-class products currently being produced by Ford – all of which are on display in our showroom.” Three-door, five-door and estate body styles are available to order now, with the revised saloon, Coupe-Cabriolet and sporty ST versions following within a few months.
