Smoothly running car

Overall, Ford focus is a well-designed car. The ride is smooth, you dont feel too much of road bumps. Transmission changes speed smoothly, although the acceleration is a bit low. I like the design and space of the car in spite of the small size.

Quiet, sleek, and very comfortable

This car is great on gas. And hands-free for phone calls has really spoiled me. I don't think I will ever own another car without hands-free. It's so quiet, when I exit the car while it's running and get back into it, I often forget it's running and try starting it again. It's very spacious - being a compact car, you wouldn't expect that. I love the front end on it because it looks almost like the front end of the high-end car Aston Martin.

Smooth ride.

When I decided to down size from a truck to a car I had no idea what I wanted. Once I got into the focus I knew this was the car for me. The ride to and from work is very smooth. The backseat is a little tight for adults but more than enough room for a carseat or young children. And you can't beat the gas mileage (well at least for me from driving a truck to a small car). The i inside is very clean and nice. It has more space and storage then I thought it would. Love all of the usb ports and aux (which was very important to me). The hands-free technology was a little confusing when I first got it but easy once you sit there and figure it out. The only thing that I wish it had was more handles around the car and air vents in the back.

Best Car I've had

There's so many features that I enjoy out of my Ford Focus, but several are my favorite! From the excellent fuel economy, to the big hatchback, this car has truly been a blessing!

Good Car

I like this Ford Focus SE. It drives well and does good on gas (about 35.6 mpg). It's no race car but has plenty of pep and speed when needed. I was actually surprised to how well it handled at 80+ mph. It has disc brakes all around which I really like. I wouldn't recommend it for a family with older kids but for my wife and I it's great. I'm 5'9" 160 lb and my wife is 5'4" "120" lb and we're in our 50's. The front has plenty of leg room but that back is a bit tight especially when I have a taller person upfront. I have never had any problems at all. The A/C and heater work great. The Sync 3 is very good. We use the navigation system a lot with no issues. I usually drive it to work which is about 25 minutes one way. We have driven it to Michigan from Texas and back about 3,500 miles round trip. We stayed fairly comfortable the whole trip. Drove straight through on the way there. Getting used to all the controls was a bit clumsy at first. I change the oil with synthetic about every 7,500 miles but the manual says you can go 10,000. People who have driven this car love the way it drives. It's actually kid of fun. Parking is a breeze. The back up camera works perfect. I have noticed that going up or down BIG hills does effect the engine while in cruise control but when I turn off the cruise control OR put it in "S" (Sport) gear it does very well. I have tried the "S" gear to use as a manual shift but prefer the "D" better. You can change the interior lights for the floor board, cup holders... to different colors which is kind of nice. I would and have recommend it to friends.

Very fuel efficient

Great car. I would like it to be a little faster but you can tweak it and make it your own style. Great on fuel
