Thinking of buying a Ford Focus - any technical issues I should be aware of?

I'm thinking of buying a new Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost. Does this car suffer from any technical issues?

Very few complaints about this. Initially there were a few due to engines being switched off when the water cooled turbos were too hot (instead of being idled for 30 seconds before switch off). See the entry in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar
