Detailed analysis of the Ford Focus Berlina Urban 1.6 TDCi 95 CV (2011-2012)
General description
The 2011 Ford Focus is not just a car; it's a milestone in the history of compacts. With its 95 HP 1.6 TDCi engine, it was presented as the choice of both the heart and the mind, a machine designed to devour miles with astonishing efficiency without sacrificing the driving excitement that has always characterized Ford.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of this Focus is to rediscover the pleasure of pure driving. Its chassis is a work of art, with a control blade rear suspension that gives it an agility and cornering poise that makes you smile. The 95 horsepower may seem modest, but the generous 230 Nm of torque from very low revs provides an energetic and capable response for daily driving, making the car feel alive and willing. It's a direct connection between the asphalt and your hands.
Design and aesthetics
Ford's 'Kinetic Design' philosophy reaches its maturity here. Its sharp lines, aggressive front grille, and swept-back headlights give it a dynamic appearance that has aged with incredible dignity. Inside, the dashboard envelops you, creating a cockpit-like feeling that, although loaded with buttons for its time, makes you feel at the center of the action. The perceived quality was a notable leap, conveying solidity and good craftsmanship.
Technology and features
For a 2011 car, the Focus was at the forefront. Although this Urban version is simpler, the range offered technologies that democratized safety and comfort, such as torque vectoring control that improved cornering. The 1.6 TDCi engine itself was an advanced piece of engineering, with common-rail direct injection and a variable-geometry turbo that achieved minimal consumption and complied with Euro 5 regulations.
Competition
In a market dominated by giants like the Volkswagen Golf, the SEAT León, or the Opel Astra, the Ford Focus made its way with an overwhelming personality. While the Golf boasted refinement and the León a more Latin character, the Focus offered an open secret: it was the most fun and rewarding to drive. Its balance between comfort and dynamism was, quite simply, the benchmark to beat.
Conclusion
This Ford Focus is irrefutable proof that a practical and economical car can have a soul. It is a loyal travel companion, incredibly frugal thanks to its diesel engine, but with a chassis that invites you to enjoy every curve. It represents one of the golden eras of compact cars, a well-rounded vehicle that captivates with its balance and remains a fantastic option for those who value, above all, the driving experience.
