Most reliable car I have ever owned!!!

Car is more reliable and has more interior room than other foreign competitors that I have test driven. It has all of the bells and whistles! Back-up camera, Satellite radio, USB ports, 12V ports, trunk buttons and remote, alloy rims, cruise control, SYNC technology for Hands-Free phone calls and voice commands for radio and phone calls, it's awesome! Drives great, heat & AC fire up immediately! It's a great car!

Buying this car was a good decision.

This car is more than I expected. Solid, good design. They did a good job on the interior room. Plenty of room. Nice extras with the touch screen.

Fantastic commuter car!

Car is very comfortable and I am 6 ft. and 200 pounds. The car has surprising get up and go, especially on the freeway. The bluetooth connectivity is fantastic and the stereo system is clean. For dealing with the freeways in So Cal this car is great, especially when it comes to miles per gallon!

Great everyday driver - fun and well designed

I was fortunate to find a heavily discounted leftover Focus, at the maxed-out Titanium trim level, which I have been extremely happy with. I have owned a wide variety of cars over the past 35 years, including the ST version of this model, which included a turbo, high-tech suspension, and many other upgrades. While I do miss the 6-speed transmission, I am otherwise very happy with this new model, which includes just about every feature, other than the accident avoidance technology. The handling is quite solid, mileage is excellent at 28 mpg locally (with a not-so-heavy foot, to be fully open, but ongoing climate control demands in 90 degree weather) and performance is quite engaging. Highway mileage is at 40 when you stay near the speed limit, and the ride is rock solid. The straight-line performance is limited but I wasn't really looking to drag race at this point in my life, and thus the Focus has been perfect. I especially appreciate the European styling and hatchback design, though I wish they wouldn't slope the car as much due to loss of capacity. I know that there are higher rated cars out there, but find the Japanese rivals either boring or sort of ugly (as in the new civics or nissans). the German ones would be tempting but I'm not too pleased with service costs or reliability. Plus this is american made, with no taxpayer subsidies. Please check it out - it's a great bet even if this design is getting a bit stale. For me the $4000 rebate pretty much compensated for the aging design. will have to get back about reliability but so far so good. Go Ford!
