Ford recalls almost 600,000 Focus cars due to safety concerns.
This was from the BBC ticker. I'm sure Co55ie would be happy to hear about this.

mus100 obviously hasn't driven a focus. for the job they are designed to do (family hatch), they are very good and have won many car tests etc.
They're not my cup of tea, and I doubt I'll ever own one but that doesn't make it a bad car.
