Great look, Terrible engineering.

I loved the look of this vehicle and it came with all the bells and whistles, but I had nothing but trouble with the transmission. In a period of just 3 years, I had to have the transmission fixed Several times including having the entire TCM replaced twice. After having a new TCM for just 5 months, it died and instantaneously shut my car off while I was driving. Totally unreliable, with seemingly no real fix. Do NOT get this make and model year.

Great gas saver! Super reliable vehicle!

It's great on gas! Drives smoothly and comfortably! For the size engine it has it really does get up and go fairly quickly! It's sleek and sporty all in one! Ford really did an awesome job designing this vehicle!

The Dealership Didn't Want to Sell It!

Despite the pains of a lease buyout, I decided to purchase her. The dealership didn't want to let her go! For the price, there's nothing better in her category. Never lets me down - drives smooth as silk, great performance, attractive features, sporty interior and sleek body, no hitches, low maintenance. All she wants to do is drive and flirt. Keep your eyes on the road, boys!

Sleek, modern, and reliable.

I love it. A great first car. It's going to be a car used for the long haul. I recommend this car for any new drivers.

Feel I made a wise purchase

I am moving from a Buick LeSabre to this Focus. The Focus does not seem to have as smooth a ride and is obviously not as roomy but I felt the trade-off of it being better in gas mileage - and so sleek looking - prompted my purchase.

The car was definitely worth buying for the price!

I got a manual version of my ford focus and it was easy to learn because it would tell me when it was time to switch gears. The style of the car looks fancy

Great vehicle!

I traded in my 2003 Dodge Durango 4WD in for this vehicle and although it is a nice, reliable vehicle, it does not handle snow, as well as my Durango, did but that is to be expected. It is way better on gas and it is a FlexFuel vehicle. I love the hands free Bluetooth features. It gets warm and stays warm and is a great vehicle all around. I am still getting used to the Eco engine but I am satisfied with this vehicle.
