It's a nice car, but I spend too much on gas for the size of the car. If you take good care of it, it can be a great vehicle.

Fantastic first car

I bought this car in college and it?s been fantastic to own. Have had it for 50k miles and have just been getting the oil changed and nothing else needed. It is a bit light so wet driving needs to be done carefully. Traction control on launch could use improvement too.

2012 Ford Focus

Excellent handling and maneuverability. Comfortable front seating. Tight leg room in the rear. Great gas mileage. Adequate cargo space. It was an excellent replacement for one we lost.

Great little car

It?s a great car for its class. Plenty of pep and great handling. Although it does have transmission issues ford has done well with the extended warranty.

Excellent

Clean used car. I've had a Focus before. This car takes the cake in every aspect. I loved how well they cleaned it up and kept it in tip top shape.

Lots of storage room

I suddenly needed a car. I needed a car with storage, reliability, Bluetooth. This car has it all. It has a smooth ride, very quiet, lots of leg room, and plenty of storage in the trunk.

Great car. Excellent gas mileage.

A great car for everyday life. Comfortable. Reliable. Great in road trips. Comfortable for the kids. Hatchback creates plenty of room to bring stuff along.
