Not for me, but is a great vehicle!

For me, this vehicle was too small. However, my son owns his 3rd one, and my friend is on her 5th one, and they love them. The car is reliable, practical. I needed a little more space than what it had. Ride was smoother than I expected. I had no problems or hesitations with it. Great little car.

It was okay

I just got done with my lease of a focus se manual. It was a zippy little car but I dont miss it at all. I never had any issues with it at all so very reliable. I just didn't find it very comfortable plus there was nothing to it. It was a 20 thousand dollar car with nothing in it. Then I just got a 17 jeep renagade with all the options for 18 thousand and it sooo much better quality. You can just the better quality when you drive. Wouldn't recommend the focus

It's ok...not enough value for the cost

I leased the 2015 Ford Focus Hatchback, and bought it at the end of my lease to avoid mileage overages. It's too small, doesn't do great in snow, hesitates often, and doesn't really have much power. It's sporty looking which is fun, but overall the value has declined so much that I feel stuck in this car. Not great.

I have the German made 3 cyl turbo

It?s a great car I put 100,000 miles on it in my first two years. I got 40 mpg average and 47 on the highway. Ford never advertised the car maybe because it only came as a stick. Have had no problems only maintance

Very nice overall vehicle, except for a few things

This car has been exactly what I needed when I needed to replace my 2002 Buick Century after it died of old age. I love pretty much everything about it except for it's Automated manual transmission. Basically what this is, a computer handles shifting but the engine is setup like a manual with two clutches: one for the Odd gears and one for the Even. What happens with it is usually from a dead stop, trying to get going is difficult. The shifting has trouble from gear 1 to 2 and even sometimes to 3 but very rarely. This is not exactly a great function as any transmission slip is not good for any car. The other complaint is the lack of storage space. Yes I know it's a small car, but it's not what I thought in terms of space. Other than those issues, it's a great car for long highway driving with 39 HWY, and even as a college commuter vehicle with 26 City. Also very easy to maintain and very cheap parts.

Strongly recommended car

I've only had this car a short time but it's everything I was looking for. Very comfortable, great gas mileage and so many great features.

A very enjoyable, easy to drive vehicle.

I felt comfortable in our 2015 Ford Focus and drove it out of town many times. It handled very well and was easy to drive. The anti-skid brakes came in handy one time when a cat ran out in front of me and it passed by safely (just barely). There was an issue with the transmission for 2015 models, and a factory recall fixed the issue for me with no cost. Before the fix, the car would stutter on take off, but afterward it drove great. The backup camera is a very useful and I really appreciate the E-Z fuel (no gas cap) fueling. There are some really good safety features designed into this car.

My Ford focus is a major safety and hazardous car.

A hazardous vehicle that can cause tremendous casualties and cause me to physical and emotional stress. Do not buy a Ford focus. Purchase another vehicle!

Great second car for family with kids

This car is a perfect combination of sport and family friendly. It is fun to drive, leather interior, is spacious enough to have a big car seat, and the trunk accessible from the car back seat (hatchback style). Great choice for a family looking to have a second car.
