Used to own a Ford Focus SW

The Ford Focus Station Wagon is great for transporting things. There is a lot of space inside, I was able to load two 2x6x10 and up to 10 2x6x8 inside. Which is handy when you do not want to spend time attahcing stuff on the roof rack. Wish the reliability was better though.

Ford Focus SVT

This car is a bargain of a lifetime if you want a hot hatch. Very fun to drive. Parts are very hard to find. Good luck. Interior is very nice.

Most reliable car I have ever owned.

I bought this car new December 23,2002. I am still driving it. It has 319,800 miles on it, as of today and still going strong. I have only done minor repairs and kept maintenance up on it and I plan on getting many more miles on it!

The car owes me nothing

I bought my Ford focus Wagon used 7 years ago with 160000 miles on it. It handles great and is fun to drive. I love the cargo the space when I put the seats down. It is too bad ford discontinued- the wagon model of the focus, I would have bought another one.

I love it

I bought this used and love it the only thing wrong is I was in a car accident and it took some damage so it will need to be repaired. It drives great, has plenty of space and is safe during a crash.

Sm]st new car buy, for my needs.

Smart styling, comfortable, and great mileage. Took car on trip with three large people, full cooler, and miscellaneous stuff to the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Averaged 33.9 miles to the gallon. My friend, who drove part of the way and is a bus driver loved the way it handled.

the perfect size. I wish ford still made them.

This is the perfect size car. It carries a lot of things but doesn't look bulky like a SUV. It gets much better gas mileage than a SUV and carries more. It's too bad only Volvo makes a stationwagon now. They are too pricey. If ford still made one I would have bought another. Very reliable and durable.

Ford focus

The design is nice interior and exterior. The vechicle takes about $20-25.00 to fill up. I love the smooth ride. It's a used car anyway. Just keep up the on it and u can will have this for years. It's very good car to lease, to buy, or to sell. Just keep regular mainteance on the car, etc. And u are good.
