"We bought this Focus a month ago and like it very much. It is underpowered compared to the car we had before--a six cylinder--but it does get much better mileage. The seats are much too firm for our comfort. We can't imagine what Ford was thinking. We did not test drive a Focus before buying as we intended to buy a Fiesta."

"Such a Great driving car at a Great Price & Great Mileage, too! No longer the Tuna Can it once was! Totally re-engineered inside & out designed like a German car. . .so no reason Not to Buy American! My sister bought a new car the same time a boring Toyota Corolla based on Consumer Reports High Reliability -- compared to Ford Focus -- hope this new model has improved on that. However Car & Driver did rate the Ford Focus in Top 10 Best Cars for 2013 and I would agree with that!!"

"I am very happy with the car overall. I just wish the two left doors matched the two right doors. The dealer service says they will fix, but so far nothing. The sales folks were very helpful, and yes I'd buy another one."

"I've got 3,300 miles on my minimally equipped 2013 Ford Focus S with a 5-speed manual transmission, and it has not disappointed me. Power and handling and solid feel coupled with outstanding fuel economy make this car a winner. The driver and shotgun seats offer comfort and excellent support. Mrs. Supercruiser and I were very comfortable on a three hour nonstop drive despite our arthritis issues. The nice part is that a fully grown male (I'm 6'1", 245, and wear a size 54 long suit.) can fit into the driver's seat comfortably, although I have popped the buttons off several rear trouser pockets during entry. Forget assigning any adult passengers to the rear seats while the front seats are adjusted all the way back. They won't fit."

"Nice car for being a "Focus" with lots of nice features, heated seats, rear camera, comfortable seats. I traded in a 2002 Saturn and the Focus in way above a Saturn in all respects and not an entry level car. It gets 27 mpg around town and has a lot of pickup and go at all speeds, way beyond what I expected. A huge improvement from my Saturn. The drivers seat is very comfortable and the car is much easier to get in and out of than the Saturn. Ford put the seat and door post in a better position. The only complaint is the "minor hesitation" with every start in first gear, a "Focus" signature. Too bad Ford didn't design that out of it. Great car for under 20K if you don't put too many fun features on it."

"I only have a little over 500 miles on the car I bought about three weeks ago. It is very nimble and frugal with gas, but it shutters when accelerating from standstill. The two left door inside panels do not match the right two doors or the seats in color or fabric. So far the first two tanks of gasoline have averaged about 30 MPG in mostly city driving."
