It's a very reliable car

This car has everything I ask for in a vehicle. Power lock and power windows. Camera, bluetooth access, satellite radio. The interior and exterior was the color I was looking for.

RUN AWAY! HUGE WAIST OF MONEY

Don't buy this car! You WILL regret it. I have had a ford focus for only 2 years. In that 2 years its been xxxx and Ford doesn't care about your experience at all. They literally laughed at me over the phone. I have shelled out nearly 8k trying to fix this car I have only had for 2 years. I found out recently my transmission issue is a well known issue ford has with their focus transmissions. I also discovered Ford had been forced to extend their warranty to cover the issue due to a lawsuit. So I called the warranty company who informed me that Ford was fighting the suit and they no longer have a program I am eligible for. They informed me that if I wanted to try I could contact the dealership for an exception. I contacted the dealership who laughed at me and told me that only the warranty company can approve an exception. FYI the car is only at 61000 miles so it broke only 1000 miles after its warranty expired! If thats not planned BS then what is? Not only that its happened to 2 million other buyers so far! I dont care who is wrong or who is right! All i know is this company sold me a defective and will not fix it even after they were found guilty. I will never buy another ford every again. Consider this a warning. I know I wish I would have seen this and made a batter decision then buying a Ford.

So far so good!

I'm only a couple of thousand miles into owning this vehicle but I have the 1.8 EcoSport three-cylinder. It's only a Ford Focus, so it's not a luxury car, but it is surprisingly well thought out. I get about 35 MPG on average. I like it so far!

First Car

Very economic and light on gas. Very versatile, can take a beating and shrug it off. However the inside seats are very basic and feel like you bought them from Amazon basics. Hard to see over hood of car due to its long nose.

Titanium model is fabulous!

Ford hit the nail on the head with the Titanium line of vehicles. Loaded with options. Fabulous audio system, amazing comfort in an economical model. Very sporty and plenty of pep. I think it's a mistake that Ford is discontinuing this particular car. Been very popular for many years.

Great Car!

My main uses are for work, which puts the most miles on, and to travel to see my sweetheart. This car has been put to the test in the Arizona summer heat and passed with flying colors. The handling is smooth, and the car doesn't feel like it's working hard to keep up with the speed it's being driven at. In fact, a few times I had to slow down cause, even though it didn't feel like I was going that fast, the ride is so smooth.
