Ford Focus Coupe Cabrio 2.0 TDCI Titanium

For the first time the Focus teaches everything, everything and everything. Before you have the first Ford coupe cabrio, showing his body elegantly signed by Pininfarina. For its premiere, nothing beats a powerful diesel, high-end finish and a competitive price is it fashionable?

It is a comfortable, spacious and attractively priced car.

Roadster and the windows rolled up just turbulence seen in the interior.

With the roof closed, the Focus Cabrio becomes an elegant coupe.

With this engine Diesel filtered some mechanical noise, especially when accelerating, the rest refinement to this model luxurious court.

Well, we think so. Ford was the last generalists who has registered trademarks in the fashion of the compact coupe cabrio derivatives; This has allowed him to look at competition and thus be able to offer a product that were at the height of the demand on the market.

The Focus CC is a four-seater, like most of its rivals, is left of complications and provides no technological solution that sets you apart from the rest. Its roof is completely metallic, some of their natural enemies carrying glass- and is divided into two parts. However, it has an advantage over the rest: his huge trunk, which it bases its design on the absence of nooks and crannies, which manages to be a car more multipurpose use everyday.
This designed by Pininfarina which also has also been responsible for its development and manufacture -in Italy-, hence it is not surprising that keeps certain similarities with the Volvo C70, his “cousin” of the Ford group, also developed by the Italian coachbuilder, with which it shares many elements of its frame and roof. The first thing that draws attention to this model is the existing “disproportion” between its three volumes, a rear part that stands out for its length, especially when the roof is open, recalling the style of a typical American car, the kind that always appear in movies. This feature is common and is also found in most of its rivals except Eos or Astra Twin Top are provided more, and even more in C + C lower segment; no other, we must make room for the roof.

It is also significant its size, the largest among its rivals. 451 cm long, it is 17 more than a two-volume Focus cm and 2 cm more than the four-door version. That translates into an interior of generous measures. No need for a meter to realize its great width in the front seats and, above all, in the rear, which have 4 cm more than its rival with better bound. It is not bad the hole there for legs that go back; if they are adults over 1.75 will travel something fair, though, knowing they have more room than in the Astra a Mégane or 307, for example.
Another important aspect in this model, at least in our test unit, is the Interior presentation. The quality of finish is up to the best Ford, or at least the most expensive. The cause is in the only finish available with this engine, the top end, called Titanium. Among its standard equipment are details like leather upholstery, steering wheel and knob also covered, which give a nice look and feel to the whole. There is no doubt that a convertible has to have a much more colorful tapestry, since it looks when the roof is open, but we think the leather with burning sun, especially in our country, and in winter is very cold – the latter is no longer a problem thanks to the heated seats carrying series-, something attributable not only the Focus, but any convertible market.

The operation of opening and closing the roof is made in 25 seconds or less what it takes to descapotarse the other cars in its segment. It’s too long for a light, so to enjoy the sun no choice but to step aside, nothing we monitor attached to our rear trunk lid -the requires about 10 cm of freeboard when descapota- -, neutral, handbrake and keep the button pressed for opening all the time. With the windows rolled up, just turbulence seen in the interior, being one of the best interior aerodynamic models, which still further improved if the rear spoiler is mounted -optional 200 euros; It installs in less than a minute and will make the trip more enjoyable, especially in winter.

Lacking door frames, loudness up with closed logically ceiling is somewhat higher than in a conventional tourism. With this engine Diesel, filtered some mechanical noise, especially when accelerating, the rest refinement to this model luxurious court.
The dynamic behavior is good. It is appreciated that this Focus It is harder than its equivalent in three or five doors, but in any case we can cross it off uncomfortable. Its firm suspension system, merely supports the rigidity of the frame, one of the best segment by the VW Eos. Traction control and stability, despite having the top end surface are optional -350 euros-; It is not a car that constantly requires his performance but, as in all cases, we recommend installation.
You can choose a Focus Coupe Cabriolet petrol engine 100 hp from 22,205 euros, but If you want a diesel engine, the only option is to this 2.0 TDCI. The engine is good and offers great acceleration and speed, although its long development in fifth and sixth speed change forced to use more than usual. With everything, the 154 hp offered our unit are more than enough to move even with some sportsmanship. Its price is set at 29,185 euros, in line with what rivals offered. Series has interesting elements such as dual zone climate control, automatic headlights on, radio with MP3-and the Bluetooth Music system and offer launch- and electric height adjustment driver’s seat, not all rivals They carry.

Conversely it misses than standard stability control, rear spoiler or a spare wheel of normal size. It is a comfortable, spacious and attractively priced car. It is considerably cheaper than a VW Eos, provides a generous trunk and both inside as outside image, which is separated slightly from the appearance of a conventional Focus. Undoubtedly, It lives up to its rivals and therefore fashionable.
Maybe this car is found both in the livability and luggage capacity, the latter being the best in its segment. The engine has good performance and offers moderate consumption, but it is noisy and has to deal with long developments in the last two marches.
