Not so good

One at a time, my electrical systems are going out. First the trunk latch, the button will not open it anymore, and I get a warning that the trunk is open. I have to use the quick release in the trunk to use it. My door lock button does not work anymore. I have to unlock/ lock the driver side and climb around in the car and open each door. My washer fluid switch will not work anymore. So far the wipers are still working.

Great Value

We are a Ford Family. We have previously owned a Focus and upgraded to a Fusion. We went back to the Focus as a second car. Love the style and gas mileage!

Beautiful car

This car has always been reliable and met my needs. Used to commute to work every day for 5 years. beautiful blue color and style. Only complaint is that my husband is too tall for true comfort in the front seat/passenger seat.

Great lil car

It's been a great car, it's taken me on quite a few long trips and hasn't failed me yet. I'd keep it if I didn't need a truck.

Responsive and affordable

Fun car to drive. Engine and dual-clutch transmission are a great match. Even the sound is fun without being annoying. It's firm-ish sort of ride, but not harsh. Electronics are pretty amazing (iPhone, USB, audio, Sync, etc.). Had some trouble with the transmission, but Ford fixed it without charge. Visibility out front left suffers from pillar width and mirror, which requires extra vigilance in turning left.

Great little commuter.

I was looking for a commuter, and will need to pick up my kid a few times a week. This fits the bill.

Good city car

If youre looking for a great car to get around town. But when it comes to performance, the Focus comes up a little short. The amount of space is amazing even for a compact.
