Best car I've owned!

Stylish, dependable little car that's great on fuel. Add on the superior, above-and-beyond service of my local Ford dealer (Wood Motors, Fredericton, New Brunswick) and I never intend to drive anything but a Ford :)

Great first car! 2009 Focus S (5 speed manual)

Very fun car and has a great sound system compared to other cars in its class even in the base s trim. Very smooth and quiet ride. I have had no problems with this car at all and the clutch/transmission work perfectly even after 100,000+ miles! My only complaint is sluggish to minimal acceleration up hills.

Has served me well.

The only drawback is that it is an 2009 SES model. I have kept up the maintenance on it. As an SES model, the brakes are different from the SE model and are the tires, I had to get 17 inch tires, 16 ins. do not fit on it. I am still driving it and it has 144000 kms.

great affordable car

exceeded my expectations regarding reliability and affordability . its been a great car. The only downside is the transmission does not shift so smoothly from first to second, and there is not enough noise deadening material in the floor of the car, but this seems common for this class of car.
