Discover the Ford Focus, one of the UK's favourite cars, great to drive, full of technology and very refined but a small boot means it’s not the most practical five. The Neat and Nerdy Backpack. When you’re away from home all day, whether working or exploring, you need to be prepared for every possible contingency. Perhaps you pack an extra battery pack, or some portable entertainment. Maybe you’ve got a mess of cables, or a laptop if you want to get some real work done.

Update: Renault’s compact Captur crossover has been in South Africa since May 2. The present line- up consists of five models spread over two trim levels, Blaze and Dynamique, two petrol engines, a small diesel and three gearboxes – five or six- speed manual and six- gear dual clutch automatic. Our test unit was fitted with the Alliance’s Euro. Euro. 6 if you can get 1. K9. K turbodiesel. The engine has an iron block with aluminium cylinder head and sump; eight valves operated via a single overhead camshaft and induction by common rail direct injection with a waste- gated turbocharger supplied by Bosch. It has a close- coupled diesel particulate filter that should last the engine’s natural lifetime. The timing belt’s life expectancy is 1. A sticker in the engine compartment stated that our test car came from Renault’s Revoz plant at Novo Mesto in South- Eastern Slovenia near the border with Croatia. It’s a small town covering 3. A recent facelift endowed it with a redesigned upper grille with chromed edging, LED Pure Vision lamps and new C- shaped daytime running lights. New colours and new wheels supplement smarter interiors with new, more supportive, seats; satin chrome trim; a soft- touch dashboard; a new gear lever and a central armrest, with concealed tray, for those in front. The armrest unfortunately gets in the way of working the gear stick and parking brake, so we flipped it out of the way. Full leather upholstery with warmed front chairs is a R1. Dynamique versions. Adjustments are all mechanical. Carried over from previous models are four airbags, automatic locking on the move, touch- button unlocking and push- button starting. There’s also the usual braking and handling kit, multimedia equipment, hill start assist, auto- on headlights and wipers, cornering fog lamps, automatic air conditioning with quick defrost, satellite navigation, tyre pressure sensing, parking alarms and reversing camera. Renault’s signature walk- away central locking is still there. Good to know is that, because there’s no transmitted signal, bad guys with jammers in supermarket parking lots cannot override it. But it only works after the engine has been running. If you go back out to open the car for any reason, you must use the transmitter on the key fob to relock it. That’s when you should watch for the flash and try the handles. This car was essentially identical, apart from facelift and paint colour, to the Sunset Edition we drove last November (2. Information we came upon after more recent research is that the engine’s torque band extends from 1. That’s where power has already built up to 5. W, and climbing, so it explains why you get such a seamless surge of power and the motor’s unstoppable feel. The gearshift is smooth and positive, there is plenty of space for big left feet to reach the footrest, steering is light and easy, the dials are clear and the seven- inch touch screen with its half- dozen menus is straightforward. Thankfully, music volume and air controls are separate and consist of simple buttons and knobs. The car feels solidly built and fit and finish is good. Rear seat accommodations provide three full belts, three head restraints and a fairly low centre tunnel. That means the middle passenger can at least have legs, even if they’re not very long. Storage is courtesy of a couple of seatback pockets, small door bins and an open tray in the central console. There’s no armrest and thus no cup holders, but there is a 1. That’s because it’s awkward to lean on an armrest and still use both thumbs. The seat squab can be shifted fore and aft through a range of about 1. Transporting littler passengers enables up to 7. The hatch door opens down to about 7. Unusual is that the board is reversible, with a non- slip surface on one side and it can be removed completely to reveal an additional 1. A light and one bag hook are provided and the spare is a spacesaver. We liked this Captur’s balance of properties and reckon it has all an average urban family needs; strong performance, good fuel economy, usable features, average- to- good luggage space, solid construction and competitive pricing.
