I am thinking of buying a new Focus when they come out later in the year. I have heard that they have a huge turning circle and the Titanium is the worst because of the large wheels. (Well over 11 metres) is this likely to be a problem in tight car parks?

The turning circle is large, I have a Focus ST and you learn to live with it, only when I drive another car that you really notice it. Very rarely you don't need to carry out a three point turn. The XR5 is not much better, need at least four lanes to carry out a U turn. They both however are great cars.

Would there be much difference between the Trend and the Titanium? (16 and 18 inch wheels)

We have a tight car park at work and I can honestly say I've never noticed. I've got 16in wheels.

It's only really the bigger wheeled variants that have the big turning circle. I'd imagine a Trend on 16's will be fine.

As above, I've owned an XR5 and ST which both had 18s and a bit of a terrible turning circle, but it was never really an issue to me.
The lower spec models with the smaller wheel and tyre packages have a much better turning circle. |
