Detailed analysis of the Ford Focus 5p 1.6 TDCi 109 CV Sport (2004-2005)
General description
The second-generation Ford Focus arrived to consolidate the success of its predecessor, and this 1.6 TDCi 109 HP version with Sport trim was the embodiment of perfect balance. It represented the promise of a car for everything: economical in daily use thanks to its diesel engine, but with the soul and chassis that have always made a Focus more than just a means of transport. It was the compact car that made you smile on every curve without punishing your wallet at the gas station.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of this Focus is to rediscover the pleasure of driving. Its chassis, with an acclaimed control blade rear suspension, gives you absolute confidence. It feels agile, precise, and planted on the asphalt, inviting you to link curves with surprising fluidity. The 1.6 TDCi engine, with its 109 HP and 240 Nm of torque, pushes decisively from low revs, offering more than enough response for daily life and for traveling with ease. It's not a pure sports car, but the connection it establishes with the driver is genuine and addictive.
Design and aesthetics
Its design was a mature and athletic evolution of the original 'New Edge' design. The lines were softened, but without losing character. The 5-door body showed a robust and well-proportioned silhouette, with a generous width that gave it a great presence. Elements like the sharp headlights and high-mounted taillights became its hallmark. The Sport trim added that spicy touch with 16-inch wheels and specific details that enhanced its dynamic nature, creating a visually attractive and timeless package.
Technology and features
In its time, the technology of this Focus was centered on efficiency and safety. The heart of the car, its common-rail direct injection diesel engine with a variable geometry turbo, was a piece of modern engineering that achieved very low consumption for its performance. Although its equipment may seem basic to us today, it had the essentials for a safe and comfortable journey, such as ABS and, in many cases, stability control. It was technology at the service of driving, without superfluous distractions.
Competition
In 2005, the battle in the compact segment was fierce. The Focus went head-to-head with titans like the Volkswagen Golf, the SEAT León, the Renault Mégane, the Peugeot 307, and the Opel Astra. While some rivals opted for greater comfort or a more avant-garde design, the Ford Focus always played the driving dynamics card. It was, and for many still is, the benchmark in dynamic behavior, the car you chose if you really loved to drive.
Conclusion
The Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi 109 HP Sport is much more than a used car; it's a piece of well-made popular automotive history. A vehicle that demonstrated that practicality and economy do not have to be at odds with emotions. Its brilliant chassis and a willing engine make it an intelligent and passionate choice even today. It is a reminder that, sometimes, the simplest formula, executed with mastery, is the one that leaves an indelible mark.
