The shortage of cars, both new and used, in the domestic market forces us to look for options in neighboring countries. Deliveries from China, for example, take 1.5–2 months… And what about Europe?
And with Europe everything is faster – 2-3 weeks, and the ordered car is already in Russia.
For example, this fourth-generation Ford Focus, which was reviewed by Alexander Vinogradov, an expert from Za Rulem, the oldest and most authoritative automotive publication in Russia.

Ford Focus is a model well known to Russian motorists, which has been on sale with us since the very first generation. It all ended in the third generation, which was not the most successful.
The fourth generation of the Focus got rid of all the shortcomings of its predecessor. There is a spacious interior, a comfortable suspension, and excellent handling, as well as a 1.5-liter turbodiesel with a consumption of only 7 liters of fuel per 100 km and an 8-speed automatic.

Such a three-year station wagon with a mileage of about 150 thousand kilometers will cost 1.5 million rubles in the end if ordered from intermediaries, and 1.3 million if you buy, drive and clear the car personally.
So far, everything sounds and looks tempting, but … There are a couple of important points that you can live with, but not everyone will agree to.
First, the “fourth” Focus has nothing to do with the third. It has a different platform, as well as an engine and gearbox unfamiliar to Russian servicemen.
Secondly, all spare parts and consumables will have to be ordered in Europe and wait 2-3 weeks. That is, take care of the preparation for maintenance in advance.
Read about other pluses, “buts” and features of a used Ford Focus from Europe in the March issue of the magazine “Behind the wheel” – already on sale.
The latest issues of the magazine are always available on marketplaces.
The material was prepared based on the article by Alexander Vinogradov “How to fix it?”, Published in the magazine “Za Rulem” No. 3/2023.
