The car is equipped with a powerful front bumper with a huge opening of the air intake, delimited into three segments by vertical bars. At the bottom of the fairing is a spoiler, and stylish chrome fog lights are located on the sidewalls. True, in the initial configurations for their installation will have to pay extra.
Ford focus 3 lights are also on top. Owner reviews indicate the excellent visibility that the headlights filled with xenon provide. They allow you to turn night into day. It is possible to install rear LED lamps and daytime running lights on the hatchback.
From the first days of driving, the aerodynamics of the body impress. The car has a very low drag coefficient. Due to this, even at high speeds in the cabin there is dead silence. Sound insulation of wheel arches, the bottom and the engine compartment of the Ford focus 3 also shows itself well. Reviews from sellers and drivers testify to this. Swing wipers also perform their functions perfectly: in rainy weather the glass remains clean throughout its area.
Has a car and flaws. The main one is the sharply reduced luggage compartment volume for the sake of form and style.
