Ruby Red Focus Hatchback

Excellent car for the price. We test drive several vehicles. The Ford Focus was had the most features we were looking for at the best price.

Nice car

This is a review of the 2017 Ford Focus. This car gives a very nice ride. I particularly loved the back up camera and the compass. I know the compass isn't necessary, but it is a nice touch. The car I tested had an automatic transmission, and it had quite a bit of pep for a car of its size with an automatic transmission. I'm used to manual transmissions so I'm a little biased, but this car did a good job. The car was very comfortable to drive, and the seat felt very nice. The air conditioner was actually cold on max AC. This was quite a feat on a hot July day. I have found that Ford air conditioners are among the best of any manufacturer that I have tried. I owned a Yaris and its conditioner was weak. In the end, I didn't buy this car. As I mentioned, I like manual transmissions. I also like cars that are a bit smaller. But for many people, the Ford Focus is quite a nice car.

All my cars have been Ford models

Living in Michigan most of my male relatives worked for Ford Motor Company. The Ford models were what they drove. When I was honorably discharged from the military, my first car was a 1968 Ford. To this day I still own a 2000 Ford Focus.

Great first car

I bought this car new as a first time buyer. It's an affordable car with all the features. I bought the SEL trim level, which is the second highest trim. My only complaint is that it does not have power seats and the gas tank is small (only 12 gallons). Other than that, it gets great gas mileage, it's comfortable, stylish, and even surprisingly fun to drive.

Great Car

I've had the 2017 Ford Focus Titanium for about a month now and I am very pleased with the car. Handling is great, smooth ride, fuel efficiency is good as well. As for the interior it comes with leather seats witch are very comfortable. All round it is a great car and I am very pleased with my purchase.

Great hatchback for the price

The SEL trim looks fantastic. I think it's worth the extra cost to have the nicer tires and more sophisticated-looking inside. The car looks fast. Very roomy, lots of cargo space. Decent acceleration, and the dash is easy to read without being distracting. The acceleration and driving gets a little weird around 20-30mph, doesn't shift gears as smoothly as other cars.

Love my car

Bought my car brand new. In a month have put 5000 miles on iits just a blast to drive! I went with the base s model. Since it didn't come with cruise control I had a local shop add it. I get between 42 a 44 on the highway consistently with the 6 speed automatic.

Decent, pretty small car.

Gas guzzler, pretty small inside. Apple car play is okay, but I feel is overrated. Cool wheels, the gas tank guzzles very quickly.
