Who Ford Focus suits in Warsaw

In Warsaw, the Ford Focus is chosen by people who need an ordinary, dependable car for a few weeks. Most often that means drivers waiting to collect a new car from the dealer, employees posted to companies in the capital, and students moving to Warsaw for a semester who need a car for the daily commute.

The Focus is a compact hatchback, so it is easy to park in Mokotów, Ochota or the narrow streets of Old Żoliborz. The TDCi diesel runs quietly in the city and lets you drive economically on the expressways around Warsaw. It also feels secure on wet roads, which you appreciate in autumn on the Armii Krajowej route.

On a month-long rental the Focus combines the daily commute well with weekend trips, for example to family in Lublin on the S17 or to Płock. The mileage allowance counts across the whole rental, so a quiet week in the city leaves plenty for a longer drive. A second driver on the contract costs nothing, which helps when two people from one household share the car.

Things worth knowing about the Ford Focus

  1. The second-generation Focus made its debut in Paris on 25 September 2004, and the 2008 facelift brought the Kinetic Design styling of the Mondeo.
  2. The Focus II sits on the C1 platform that Ford shared with the Volvo S40, V50 and C30 and the Mazda3 and Mazda5. About 60% of the parts were common to these cars.
  3. The C1 platform was engineered in Cologne by Ford, Mazda and Volvo engineers.
  4. The second-generation Focus earned five Euro NCAP stars for adult occupant protection.

These facts are about the model generation and its history, not the equipment of this particular car.

Routes from Warsaw and the mileage allowance of Ford Focus

The daily rate of Ford Focus includes 300 km, and the allowance adds up across the whole rental. For the shortest rental, 5 days, that is 1 500 km. Below you can see how much of it is left after coming back from popular routes. A kilometre over the allowance costs 1 PLN.

Ford Focus or Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi?

Two compact manual diesels built for daily commuting. The Ford Focus has a slightly bigger boot (385 l vs about 350 l) and feels secure on wet roads, while the Peugeot 308 HDi with its 90 hp engine is geared to low fuel use at a gentle pace. For the commute alone they are much the same; for a trip with more luggage the Focus is the better choice.

Where Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi wins

No edge on paper; it comes down to what you need the car for.

Ford Focus or Peugeot 308 1.6 THP Automat?

Compacts of a similar size, but the Peugeot 308 THP has an automatic gearbox and a 156 hp petrol engine, while the Ford Focus has a diesel and a manual. The Peugeot is livelier and needs no clutch in a Puławska jam; the Focus uses less fuel on the road and has a 385 l boot. If your licence covers automatics only, it has to be the Peugeot; if fuel costs over many miles matter, the Focus.

Where Ford Focus wins

  • lower price, 90 PLN instead of 100 PLN per day
  • lower deposit

Where Peugeot 308 1.6 THP Automat wins

  • automatic gearbox

Ford Focus or Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi?

Both have a diesel and a manual gearbox. The Kia Soul is taller and shorter, easier to get into and to park, while the Ford Focus has a bigger boot (385 l) and is calmer at expressway speeds. For town and short hops choose the Soul; for a trip with suitcases and longer routes, the Focus.

Ford Focus or Opel Insignia 1.8?

The Ford Focus is a compact and the Opel Insignia a class bigger, both with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. The Insignia has more rear space and a boot of around 500 l, but it is long, so parking in the tight streets of Stara Praga or Saska Kępa takes patience. The Focus is easier to fit in, and its diesel uses less than the Opel's petrol. For daily driving choose the Focus; for a family trip, the Insignia.

Ford Focus or Mazda 5 1.8 MZR?

An interesting pair, because the second-generation Ford Focus and the Mazda 5 share the same C1 platform. Mazda uses it for a seven-seat body with sliding rear doors, while the Focus is a conventional diesel hatchback with a 385 l boot. For five people and low fuel use the Focus is enough; for six or seven, or for lifting children into car seats every day, choose the Mazda 5.

  • lower price, 90 PLN instead of 129 PLN per day

Ford Focus and other versions of this model

Looking for another version of this model, a stronger engine, a diesel or a different year? Those versions are not in our fleet, but below we say plainly how they differ from Ford Focus and when our car is all you need. You can book Ford Focus straight away.

Ford Focus z silnikiem benzynowym (II) or Ford Focus?

1.6 Ti-VCT 115 PS, 1.8 125 PS, 2.0 145 PS

Petrol second-generation Focuses are quiet and simple, but our TDCi diesel has more torque and uses less fuel commuting and on the road, which matters on a rental of several weeks.

Ford Focus ST (II) or Ford Focus?

2.5 turbo five-cylinder, 225 PS, 320 Nm, manual

The ST has a Volvo-derived five-cylinder engine with a distinctive sound. It is a hot hatch for keen drivers, while our Focus is a calm, economical compact for daily commuting and longer trips.

Ford Focus RS (II) or Ford Focus?

2.5 turbo, 305 PS, 440 Nm, front-wheel drive

The second-generation RS sent 305 PS through the front wheels alone, helped by a Quaife limited-slip differential and RevoKnuckle suspension, and the RS500 was built in 500 units. Today it is a collector's car. Ours is the same generation as a five-door everyday hatchback.

Ford Focus III i IV (2010–2025) or Ford Focus?

Focus III (2010–2018), Focus IV (2018–2025), production ended in November 2025

According to Ford, the Focus III was the world's best-selling model in 2012, and the last Focus left the line in Saarlouis on 14 November 2025, after 27 years of production. Ours is a facelifted second generation, a proven design with a TDCi diesel.
