There’s a bit of a miss in it though, I would guess from experience that it needs a knock sensor (common issue on these, bit of a pain) but it might just be a coil stick or plugs. Worth a punt IMO if you’re willing to investigate it yourself

Didn't find it overly sluggish for what it was to be fair and adequate to keep up with the traffic ahead of me on all occasions bar none as I recall. The 1.4 Mark 1 Focus I drove once for example was noticeably slower. For somebody looking for a runabout to tide them over for a spell you could probably do worse if the actual car and the price is someway right.
