Detailed analysis of the Ford Focus Berlina 2.0 Duratec 145 CV Sport (2004-2006)

General description

The second-generation Ford Focus arrived to redefine the compact segment, and this version with the 145 HP 2.0 Duratec engine is living proof of it. It's not just a car, it's a statement of intent, a hymn to pure driving in a golden age for naturally aspirated engines. Getting behind the wheel is to remember why we are passionate about driving.

Driving experience

Every journey becomes an experience. The 145 horsepower is delivered linearly and energetically, with a sound that invites you to stretch the gears. But the real magic lies in its chassis. The steering is precise, almost telepathic, and the multi-link rear suspension glues you to the asphalt in every corner, conveying a confidence and agility that brings a smile to your face. It's a car you feel, that communicates with you every kilometer.

Design and aesthetics

Its design was a mature and athletic evolution of the 'New Edge' that made such an impact. The lines are more fluid and elegant, but without losing an ounce of its dynamic character, especially in this Sport trim. The interior, although sober by today's standards, was a great leap in quality and ergonomics, creating a driver-focused cockpit where everything is in its place to enjoy the road.

Technology and features

At the time, it represented a very intelligent technological balance. Beyond the absence of touch screens, its real technology was in the engineering of its chassis, in active safety with an effective braking system, and in a lightweight and efficient aluminum engine. It offered what was necessary for remarkable comfort, but its greatest advance was the man-machine connection it achieved.

Competition

It faced giants like the Volkswagen Golf V, the SEAT León II, or the Opel Astra H. While some rivals opted for comfort or a more conservative design, the Focus always played the card of driving dynamics. It was, and for many still is, the benchmark in the segment for those who seek not just to get around, but to feel the road and enjoy every curve.

Conclusion

The 145 HP Ford Focus 2.0 is much more than just a mid-2000s compact. It's a car with a soul, a tribute to analog and exciting driving. It offers the practicality of a five-door for daily life and the spark of a sports car for weekend getaways. A future classic that captivates anyone who values the pleasure of driving above all else.
