Best car I've owned so far

Got the one with all the extra features and I am IN LOVE! Back up camera is super helpful, interior is really nice. I even spilled a lot of soda in my car and the upholstery was very easy to get clean.

Very Zippy car. Love it.

My son Neese a car for school. So we ended up getting the focus. It drives great. And the gas mileage is awesome.

Great price. From a trustworthy dealership.

We searched for two months for the perfect car for the perfect price. We believe we found both. I was not looking for massive horse power but had to have enough to get on the interstate highway. This car has it. Plenty of room for a compact and looks great. Got a very good price and found it all on cars.com. Thank u guys

This car will really impress you

We were looking for a comfortable and dependent vehicle. The Ford Focus is a bargain. So a joy to drive.

Great car

I fell in love. I haven't driven a car for a decade and this was very comfortable. I like all the features and hands free options.

I can't tell yet I just bought it today

I hesitates a little when starting from a stop such as a a traffic light but it has good pick up on the highway. I enjoy the Sirius satellite radio and all the other features that came with the car and look forward to acclimating myself to these. I can't wait to show it off to my friends and family and have several people that I will be pointing in he Ford Focus direction due to my recent purchase.

Not for me

Drove the hatchback version which looked nice and sporty but was too small, lacking power, and uncomfortable. More suited for a younger driver.

Great Value and Features

Good commuter car. I have the hatchback, so room for light duty hauling. We took a day trip; it handles the highways beautifully. Good gas mileage. Small back seat - for younger kids only.

Focus ST Review

I was deciding between a brand new 2017 Civic SI or a brand new 2017 Focus ST. I test drove both and I just absolutely loved the Focus ST. I thought I would end up getting the Civic SI because it's what I'm used to with my friends having Civics, but I liked the hatchback look of the Focus St and the power it has while driving it. Recaro Seats just made the decision easier and I am going to have a ton of fun with this car already. Cons: Torque steer, trunk doesn't have a lot of room, Pros: turbo, recaro seats (could be a con for some), sharp handling, clean interior
