Used Ford Focus for Sale in Salem, IL

got the SE model with the 5 speed tranny, handles great, great acceleration , comfortable on the long haul, gets up to 40 mpg highway, 33 around town, only drawback is trunk space but it fits golf clubs, suitcase and full size cooler.

This car is a very reliable car, with good acceleration and good brakes. It includes cruise control and a backup camera. It is very cheap for its quality.

I love this car. I have the Titanium hatchback and it is super sporty and fun to drive. The interior is comfortable and everything is perfectly located for the driver's convenience. The push-button start and keyless entry mean no more fumbling for keys -- just leave them in a pocket or purse and go. Sony stereo sounds excellent with a subwoofer in the trunk. You can't go wrong with this model.

I bought a 2014 with 47.ooo and had it 2 weeks and the double clutch went out and now the Ford dealer has it, I hope they fix it and it will last

Sporty and safe... even my kids think it's cool! I'm very happy with my new car. I am glad I got a car that was leased for only 3 years. Great value, low mileage and such a great overall value!

Surprisingly comfortable, great technology, plenty of room for road trips, and great gas mileage. Performance is lacking, but a great daily driver...much better than my Subaru WRX.

The Ford Focus is good overall car especially when saving gas, it’s also good car for a little family and the exterior is really nice

Excellent ride.. Very comfortable and safe car!! Extremly reliable.. Sleek and sexy but very very durable! I would buy this car over and over as I am loving It!!

This car is stylish, comfortable and fun to drive. The miles per gallon are superb, it runs smooth and quiet. The inside is up to date with heated seats, MyKey, rear backup camera.

We bought a brand new and amazingly good looking inside and out 2014 Focus Titanium. The car was for my wife. She drove test the car. She fell in love and we took it. BIG MISTAKE! I drove it for the first time one week later and realize immediately what a defective dual transmission this car possesses. I think, the best way to describe it is like “having a teenager learning how to drive a standard shift transmission car for the first time”. When you start driving slowly from any stop, the car shakes in a jerky motion six or eight times before shifting. Every speed shift you can “VIOLENTLY” feel it, and occasionally a loud clank can be heard out of nowhere. All of this happens in Auto or Manual mode. In slow or fast speed. Don’t try to pass another vehicle because when you try, the transmission will shift 3 to 4 seconds after you press the accelerator. Three weeks after we acquired it, I took it to the Ford dealer. The technician drove it. The Service Manager drove it, and they both agreed that this transmission is a royal piece of $#!+, BUT, they can’t do anything about it because Ford Motors Co. says IT IS A NORMAL BEHAVIOR IN THIS CAR. They printed what Ford says and gave it to me. In it, acknowledges everything I mentioned but arguing that is perfectly normal. Normal in a car that just came out of the oven? That is BS! We tried to return the darn vehicle and the depreciation in five weeks made it impossible to afford. Now we’re stock with this beautiful car, which, other than the transmission, it is amazing. Sad to see how FMC mocks his customers, and don’t take responsibility. In 2017 we bought our 11th new car. A Chevrolet Malibu LT with dual transmission. Boy! What a difference. One of the best cars we have owned. Imagine that the transmission doesn’t exist. You can’t feel the car shifting at any speed. No more Ford for us.

First off I would just like to say for all of the people complaining about the auto 6spd, this transmission is very unique. Its actually a manual transmission, It has a dry clutch pack and no torque converter. The shifting of the gears and clutch are just automated. I have seen so many complaints about it being shaky taking off from a dead stop but Ford says it's normal. You have to drive this car like a manuel, taking off from a dead stop you cannot baby the throttle. You have to blip the gas and roll into it just like you would in a normal manuel car. Again since it's a automated manuel when you are slowing down it uses engine breaking very effectively I may add. Breaking last seconded the computer disengages clutch so it's in neutral at thw mercy of the breaks. This transmission has adaptive learning so it watches your driving habits. When you baby the throttle consistantly from a dig so many times the computer learns that behavior and that's why the jerkiness happens. You cannot baby this car, for at "automatic" trans it sure is rev happy. My gf will drive it for awhile and it will start doing that bc she babys it. When I get into it I'm trying to drive it how I know it wants driven but its confused bc it knows my gf's driving habits. You can make it learn new habits driving it for awhile it will re-adapt back to you OR from a 10mph roll you pin the pedal to the floor till it hits 100. Everytime I do it the car is so much more peppy afterwards, throttle is more responsive, doesnt shift till abt 4500 instead of 2500, just feels more torquey and it stops the jerkiness it has learned from someone else. This car is a blast to drive once I researched how it likes to be driven, i must say its definitely a one of a kind driving experience. Because of the sophistication of the "automated manuel" transmission, when you buy this car they REALLY REALLY should educated people on how exactly this transmission works!!

I have owned a handful of well used cars and one truck so this is the newest car I have owned. Just bought this car 2 days ago and my girlfriend and I love it. Pretty powerful, amazing gas milage, sound system even in the SE package is amazing. Pretty comfortable to and from work. Small but roomy. Plenty of storage, and I love Fords new chime when the door opens.

I have owned 2 2015 Ford Focus SE's due to it being the only year you can get the sport package sedan. I wanted a car I could take on road trips and as a daily driver. I honestly love the car or wouldn't have purchased a second one after I totaled the first. I only have the 1 complaint and we all know what it is, the transmission. My first one was perfect but this one I just purchased has the issue. Its honestly not a big deal to me, warranty is extended to 150k miles and my dealer gave me a rental to drive when being fixed. Other than this, I recommend the car to anyone. Constantly get 36-40 mpg highway and love the looks. Sporty with good gas mileage. If the transmission is a big deal, then stay away but if you buy certified used with low mileage then you have zero worries. All cars have issues, just be lucky the warranty is extended!

I needed a car that was reliable and got good gas mileage. Also have 2 children in college, so had to be inexpensive. Surprising comfort and extras (bluetooth + aluminum wheels) for the price. Great gas mileage. Nice looking vehicle as well. Hate to part with it.

I bought my Ford Focus se flex fuel in 2016. I bought this vehicle as a rideshare vehicle. I drive this car 24/7 almost, pretty much non stop. Current mileage is 139,000 miles, still rides nice and mpg is 31.0. 90,000 miles the clutch in the 6 speed auto trans and even outside of the warranty Ford still replace it for free. I have only had to replace a upper oxygen sensor, evap tube/valve. Iam very happy that the focus has been this reliable. Iam sure with the mileage iam about due for a alternator or a water pump but that is normal, I love this car and its a testament of a rideshare driver who puts 500 miles a day in all traffic conditions that the Focus is a great vehicle and very reliable. Ford guy for life.

The price was great and the car exceeds my expectations... We were in severe need of a newer, more reliable, vehicle and the car fit the bill perfectly...

I just bought this car it's fuel efficient and smooth ride makes it a great car also very comfortable plus very good looks and has plenty of get up and go

At 61 years of age, after always having bought brand-new cars, I decided to purchase a used car. I did a lot of researching and shopping, and I bought a 2014 Ford Focus SE. It turned out to be the best deal I have ever made. The car is fun to drive, very economical (34/37 MPG), and, best of all, very reliable. I truly recommend.

Great Dealership. First class service department. My car broke down on Labor Day outside Mt Vernon on my way to South Carolina. The service department got me in at 7:00 next morning. New air conditioning compressor installed, back on road that morning. Very courteous staff. Great service.

I love the comfort and look of this car. It is perfect for what I need! It has all the "hands free" features which I love.

Family members recommended I come here, I did and I was very satisfied. Thanks to my family whom bought v echicles from here to recommend them I know I will find something here just can't make up my mind.

This car has been awesome for me...great travel car that has handled mountain driving, light snow, mud and heavy rain all extremely well. The seats lay flat so storage is ample and access easy with a hatch. Very sporty looking too! My shepherd Romeo also approves!
