2016 Ford Focus!! :)

This car is great for gas and fun to drive. Couldn't ask for a better car. It is just big enough to hold my 6 foot 3 husband.

A good small car

I have owned several Ford Focus' over the years, but they no longer fit the needs of my Cello. Ford needs to bring back the station wagon version. The hatchback just doesn't work for me.

Fairly priced, fun to drive!

Great car for the price and came equipped with much more bells and whistles than other vehicles of the same price range.

Fun to drive & doesn't break the bank!

More bells & whistles inside than most other similarly priced vehicles. It's great on gas and has plenty of pep!

2016 ford focus hatchback se

Solid tight ride with plenty of style and easy to use on board vehicle computer. The transmission has slight slip when acceleratING but has not caused any problems. The ride is nice with slightly higher than normal road noise

Worst car for winter ever

I rented this car during the winter. Worst drive ever. I had a 9 hour drive and it was horrible. I slid all over the place. It had brand new tires it just was not made for snow. Being from the North East you need to know how to drive in that. I hated the dial for the gears. What happened to the normal gear shift? This car had a dial. I will never ever rent or purchase this car.

Comfortable and great on gas

This car is certainly an upgrade for me. It is comfortable with plenty of options. The controls are within easy reach. Great on the highway and city streets

Very Pleased With Our Decision

This car was not what we were planning to buy, but we were certainly glad that we did. We are a small family (in numbers), so one of our biggest concerns was how well our Chicco KeyFit 30 would fit in the back of the car. I am 5'6" tall, and I can comfortably put the car seat behind me. My husband is 6'6" and is comfortable as long as he doesn't have anyone behind him. We are pleased with the trunk space as well. We LOVE the fuel economy of the Ford Focus, especially since we travel out of state quite often for work and family. We would eagerly recommend this vehicle to those who want something that looks good, rides smooth and has a good fuel economy.

The Ford Focus is a Great Buy - for small car.

I love this vehicle. It is very responsive to me - exiting/entering freeways. I love the gas mileage and all the bells and whistles that came on it. The SYNC is great - you can barely hear a blip when I am using the phone in the car and it automatically goes to my phone when I exit the car. The only thing I wish it had was an electric car seat adjuster (okay, maybe also heated seat...)

Economical Car

A perfect ride for daily commute with good gas mileage and all the basic features loaded (example - bluetooth) in it to make everyday life easier.
