The Car (manual NOT automatic)

The current vehicle supplied to me, as part of a contract with AA Driving School (AA Solo Contract), to deliver driving lessons in Nottingham is the Ford Focus 1.0L ST Line but not branded with AA Driving School livery.

The car is a mild hybrid, petrol, manual version. It was manufactured in 2024,  is fully serviced, maintained and replaced every two years but, in an emergency, can be replaced within 48 hours. It is worth noting, if you’ve not driven a mild hybrid before, that the electric motor is charged though regenerative braking. Essentially this means that, when decelerating, the power generated is transferred to the electric motor. The main difference that you’d notice as a driver is that the car starts to slow down more rapidly as soon as you come off the gas pedal and is also easier to control the speed of the car when going downhill.

Important Note: My contract with AA Driving School expires in June 2026 and I will be exploring other options for the supply of a vehicle around March/April 2026. I aim to replace my current vehicle with another Ford Focus but it may have a different spec.
