Tin Can

This car is a piece of xxxx. I rented this car for a week. Brand new. 1000 miles on it. It was a 6 speed standard shift. Drove it for 300 miles. GOT 20 MPG.-- OUTRAGOUS. The car feels unstable on the highway.

Sporty and fun I love it. Lots of power.

It met all of my needs. I wanted a car better on gas than my SUV to drive back and forth to work and I want to drive it all the time! The torque is major for a 4 cylinder it gets to 60 quicker than my v6' very happy with this purchase. Buy the SEL trim and get a few extra features, its worth it.

Great little gas saver made in the USA!

Great little gas saver! The real reason I bought it is it's made here in the US. Most of the compact cars are made in other countries and shipped here. Not this one, made right here in Michigan!

Most regrettable purchase

I can not believe that Ford could make a vehicle this shoddy. I purchased the vehicle due to its price ($15,000) and I regret being cheap. The vehicle is so outdated and outperformed by nearly everything in the industry. Standard features that you would expect to find in a vehicle from the early 2000's are non existent. There is no cruise control, no power rear windows and almost no safety features on the vehicle. When considering this vehicle do yourself a favor and look else where, this vehicle and Ford have shown that are not up to par and will still be behind for years to come.

Most reliable car i've owned

I love this car, it rides nice and his comfortable. There is just enough room with myself and two children. It is very good on gas and has been very reliable.

A PLEASURABLE PURCHASE AND DRIVING EXPERIENCE...

The car I traded in was a '15 Ford Fusion, & this was my 1st small car in a long time.The sales team (Michael & Christy at Lake Elsinore Ford) were not at all pressuring me and gave me a fair price on my Fusion as a trade.I was impressed with the eaze of the SYNC feature usage, the smooth ride, the list of standard equipment( SEL trim level), & quality of workmanship. I've had this 2018 FOCUS SEL hatchback for 3 weeks & am very happy with it.
