Great mileage smooth ride

This car is excellent and it has cruise control that makes your long trip driving more comfortable my only problem with the car is my shifting gear is in the floor you have to push the gear forward a little in order for it to start the engine. It also is retaining moisture in the headlights

Great commuter.

Great car for all situations. Comfortable on the highway and in city driving. Great gas mileage. Plenty of leg room in front and rear. Also great cargo space with the hatchback.

RELIABLE FUN AND SO DARN SPORTY

I absolutely love my car... I drove a Jeep right before buying this car. I originally bought it for the gas mileage to save money as I am a commuter so I spend a lot of time in my car. It was difficult to get used to a first coming from an SUV but wow it has been the best experience. I have the flex fuel model so I save money with the use of E85 gas which I have found if you purchase from mainstream gas stations you get the best value for your money and it lasts just as long as the regular fuel. The Focus drives really nice, its dynamic when it comes to speed pick up, maneuvering and overall drive performance. I love the get up and go of the vehicle. I have the hatchback and I love the space and the flexibility I have in my travels and carrying the things I need. Its a great purchase and the value for your dollar is so worth it. I plan to purchase another one... I want the turbo...as I love speed, while this car is great.. a little more pickup would be amazing...not necessary but just wanted.

Nice car, great fuel economy!

We went with the 5 speed manual since the automatics are less unreliable. The car handles well and has decent cargo space for it's size.

Not reliable at all very disappointed ?

Do not bother with purchasing this type of car not worth the hassle. This car has problems through the year if 2012-2018. The transmission is awful and can leave you stranded.

Love my car

I love my car and it has met my ever need and expectation. I love how it connects to my phone so I don't have to hold my phone going down the road. It drives so smooth and gets great gas mileage.

Good car

The vehicle is really nice. I have no complaints having owned it for several years. The vehicle gets excellent gas mileage and is very well appointed.

Easiest car to drive

This car has been the perfect car for me. It is easy to drive, reliable, and comfortable. As someone who doesn?t love driving, this car has made me enjoy driving! Things I used to hate, like parking, have been easy with this car!

After 60k miles, it's the best car I've owned.

I just hit 60k miles and have had NO unexepected repairs needed. It's still a blast to drive and has great gas mileage. It's not fast, but quick. The manual transmission is smooth. The voice system could be improved, but not bad for the year. Never had such a reliable car.
