My boss has been running a Focus similar to that which Atterz has bought - same colour in fact too.
It's a brilliant car IMO, does everything he needs it to and hasn't let him down once. Eats tyres on the front axle but I suspect this is his driving.
Aside from general servicing costs he has had to replace the dreaded Dual-mass flywheel / clutch and he has a slight boost leak which comes and goes (!). Otherwise it's fine. Driving position and cabin ergonomics are a million miles apart from the Mk1 Focus, which IMO is a steaming pile of sh*t.
