Best car I have ever owned.

Bought it with 800 miles on the odometer back in 2010. Have used it as a daily driver ~50 miles per day during the week and a 2500 mile round trip once. Averages about 37 MPG. Now has 106,000 miles on it and I have not had a single thing break down on it. The brakes even lasted 90k miles! Just tires, filters and fluids and it seems like this car could go indefinitely. Really good sized trunk for a small car. My only minor complaint is the back seat is a bit cramped for anything more than small children.

Great deal for the money

Bought this car new because of Ford incentives. Mine is an SE rework a manual transmission. Feature-wise it's great with Bluetooth and Sync. I added aftermarket leather so it's comfortable. Interior o consider it to be laid out nicely with everything within drivers reach. Trunk is a good size and it swallows even more when you drop the rear seat back. Outside is nothing fancy but not boring. The engine with the 5-speed manual is peppy enough to have a little fun and it sticks to the road very well for a car in it's class. At 75,000 miles I had my first incident with the clutch pedal assembly needing to be replaced but otherwise other than scheduled maintenance every 7500 miles, nothing else. Originally bought to be our tow vehicle for our RV, it became my everyday car when I sold the Mercedes.

Greatest car I have ever owned.

This car is excellent in performance. Very comfortable on long trips and great on gas mileage. I love the heated seats! Great stereo sound. Very roomy. Large trunk.

I'm sorry I sold it!

This was my first new car at 47 years old! Was afraid to spend big money (what I thought was alot) but it was worth it. This car never gave me any problems and I got about 40 mpg on highway with it. I sold it at 97,000 miles because I inherited a newer Toyota and couldn't keep both. It felt a lot more solid and powerful compared to this little tin can I'm driving now.

Dependable car with good gas mileage

Great car with good headroom and has been very dependable. Handles very well and is easy to maneuver. I agree with other reviews that it is a tad loud. I'd buy another one anytime.

Overall the 2010 Ford Focus has been a good car.

This car has been a good match for me. However, it's worth pointing out the 2010 Ford Focus is not a quiet car to drive. In addition to hearing all things outside of the car, I have also found it to have some significant rattles. Most of the rattles seem to come from under the floor of the drivers side of the car (Yes, I have taken it to several shops to no avail). At times there are various rattle sounds from the dash area as well. Nevertheless, it has been an exceptionally reliable car. I would recommend this car for its dependability.

Wonderful Vehicle to drive

I purchased this car in 2010. I drove this car on the streets of Puerto Rico. Reliable, I never had an issue with anything other than changing the A/C. Is horribly hot in PR anyway. I recommend this car to anyone.

The best car I have ever owned

I would not trade my Focus for anything. My previous vehicle was a mini van , so I was very pleasantly surprised that the adjustment from large to small was so quick and easy. My Focus handles beautifully, and is still very comfortable , even after almost 140,000 miles. I added a spoiler on the back which gave it a more sporty look, which I prefer. I anticipate being able to drive my Focus for another 100,00 miles!
