Great deal

This car was exactly what I needed for the right price. With usb, charging ports, sync for my phone and a large trunk, towing around kids was a breeze.

Worst car I ever owned

Purchased new April 17 on advice of salesman to serve as every day transportation and tow car for retired couple. Transmission seized up in month 7 and again in month 11. Second repair performed by World Ford Pensacola which denied warranty without reference To Ford Motor and held car for $5,900.00. Odometer reading 3,985.

Great car - great value - great performance

I got the Focus Titanium sedan - plenty of room, great performance from the 160 hp 2.0L motor & 6 speed auto trans - good technology with a 7" touch screen display - leather & heated seats - power everything, fog lights and great styling. I average 33 to 34 mpg in town and 38 to 41 mpg on the highway

Not badbut not up to the competition

It's a compact sedan so my expectations weren't too high however the competition is getting very competitive the Honda Civic is by far a much better car however $7,000 better??? The depreciation on the Ford Focus is ridiculous as soon as you drive it off the lot it drops considerable where as a Honda Civic will hold its value much better the performance is lousy it should have put a 1.5 turbo under the hood.

Excellent value, sporty daily commuter

My 2016 Ford Focus is extremely reliable, with sporty performance for a standard inline 4 engine. Very good fuel efficiency, I average around 37 combined miles per gallon. Exterior styling is very classy and sharp for being an entry level model, and the interior is surprisingly roomy, comfortably fitting 4 adult passengers. The seats could benefit from some additional lumbar support, but that is a very minor complaint that only becomes an issue on the 3+ hour trips. I drive around 2,000 miles a month and this car performs in all aspects beyond my needs.

Brand new to me, but enjoying it

I was not planning on owning another ford but I really liked how this drove and the gas mileage was a huge consideration. It's a new car to me so I get to play with it and figure out all of the gadgets!

Just purchased a used 2016 Ford focus 29,000 miles

I'm very happy so far with this car. First Ford I've ever owned. Rides smooth, good on gas, love the interior and all the extras.
