Used Ford Focus ST for Sale in Houston, TX

Everything about this car was great for me. I have owned and driven over 30 different cars and this one definitely stood out. Comfort - Extremely comfortable for me with the bucket seats up front, although stiffer than most regular seats, thats how I like it and the back seats are softer than bmw's, maserati's, audi's or any of the luxury brands ive been in. All of my controls/shift knob, cupholders are in exactly the right spot as well. Performance - For a 20k dollar car the performance is awesome and spirited. Love how it drives, and although I prefer stiffer suspensions, it is stiff enough to feel secure while being soft enough to not bother people over bumps. The shift is easy, the clutch has decent weight, everything is just right for me. Reliability - Over 5 years and there have been no maintenance issues with this car. Absolutely the most reliable car I have had to date.

I just purchased a 2013 Yukon XL SLE from here. It was a 6 hour round trip for this so I asked all the necessary questions before going. Everything Mr.Bob said about this vehicle was true. The buying process was very enjoyable, no hassling out pressure. Very pleased to have done business with them. Will definitely call them about my next purchase in the future.

So far, my 2013 Ford Focus st has met me expectations. It is nice. The transmission shifts smoothly and the shift light seems to be pretty accurate unlike most cars. This is a quick car. It’s going to be faster than most, but not faster than all. It’s a happy medium between a family car and a performance car.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

It’s a blast, puts a smile on your face every time u drive it. Nice turbo, comfortable and this recargo seats really hug u during the corners.

I just had the most unbelievable, remarkable, outstanding service of my life. A truck I recently purchased broke on me while pulling an RV for a planned vacation. Diane Boyd took care of my family as if she were the one going on vacation! She jumped into action and made the whole repairs process painless. I am still in shock. I am not accustomed to having people keep their promises, or do the right things just because they are right. I am used to excuses and justifications and meanness especially once a company has my money. But I am writing this to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the over-the-top level of service and care shown to me and my family. I highly recommend Texas Direct Auto and encourage others to give serious consideration to purchasing the extended warranty. Texas Direct Auto kept their word with me beyond belief. Thank you Diane Boyd!

Most of the features of the car is good except the space... Now, I have a newborn baby and I’m thinking of changing the car. The trunk is not large enough and I cannot put the stroller in easily! Also, rear seat is not comfortable for two passengers if the baby carier is installed.

I was very satisfied with my visit. The sales person that I spoke to was very courteous and knowledgeable about the product.

This car meets every requirement I want it in a hatchback sports vehicle handles beautifully motor runs great comfortable seats, performance on Highway and in City great maneuvers beautiful around corners

I stopped by for an unscheduled service on my Ford F-150. I know it isn't a Ford store, but it was the closest place to me. I pulled in to the service department and was immediately greeted by the newest member of their team Rene Orantes. He took my keys and assured me I was in good hands. He was right. He had my truck serviced and done while I watched T.V. and finished up on work. I would highly recommend Rene and Autonation Dodge to anyone needing service.

This car has great handling, the interior is very nice, the sound system isnt bad but could be better. I really like the ambient lighting. For a larger person, the seats may be uncomfortable (wrap around bucket seats). The RECARO seats are very nice though. Overall, I absolutely love the car!

The sales representative shows great courtesy and good knowledge about the vehicle.

I traded in my 2014 Focus ST for a 2018 Focus ST recently. My 2014 ST was a fantastic car. I had 85k miles on it when I traded and about 40k of that were travel/pleasure miles. In all that time, it never left me stranded, had no major issues and was extremely reliable and fun to drive. Because of that, I decided to trade it in for another one. I have spent the last 3 days and over 300 miles driving this car and have really enjoyed every minute. So what do I like about the car? For the money, you cannot beat this car. It is fun to drive, comfortable with the newer seats, has plenty of power for round the town and spirit mountain road driving, and looks great. You get modest tech in the ST1 package, but when it comes to in car tech, I can take it or leave it. I buy cars based on smiles per mile, so if the car can put a smile on my face on the daily, I really don't care if it doesn't come with a 7" screen, nav, or apple car play. I love to listen to music while I drive, so as long as I can pair my phone to a car to use my music library on it, I am happy. At 5'11'' and a modest 160lbs, I fit in the car well. My wife and 17 year old fit in the car well also. You can easily fit 4 average sized adults in this car with comfort. The storage room in the hatch area without the seats down more than accommodates a trip to the grocery store or a day of shopping. With the seats folded down, I can easily fit my all of my camping gear, cooler, inflatable kayak and a duffel bag full of clothes with room to spare. I have a roof rack on mine, but if I needed to, I can easily put my mountain bike in the back as long as I take the wheels off and store them around the bike. For a compact hatch, that is amazing. My 2014 was extremely reliable so I am hoping that my 2018 follows suit with that. The handling is fantastic in this car. It goes where you point it and you can enter a high speed turn with confidence. Plus, there is that fun liftoff oversteer that lets you kick the rear end out when you are feeling extra spry. The factory tuned appears to be much more refined that the pre-facelift version of this car. My 2014 was an in your face tune. The turbo kicked in and threw you back in the seat. There was nothing linear about it. This newer version seems to be much more linear and you get more of a constant pull. Overall, if you want a sporty, fun, and great daily driver, this is the car for you. What I don't like. I cannot stand the shift in this car. I feel like I am rowing a boat. Ford should have put a factory short shifter in this car and put a bigger shift knob on it. This is just personal taste though that can easily be changed with a couple aftermarket parts. I am not a huge fan of the big plastic bit on the rear bumper. I will never understand American car manufacturers and their obsession with exterior black plastic. It just looks tacky. I am iffy on the clutch feel. The 2014 ST clutch feel on the kick back end was terrible. This new clutch pedal is almost non-existent. While that is great for daily rush hour traffic, there isn't much feedback during spirited driving. While I don't really care to much about tech, it's 2018. Your standard econo cars are coming with apple and android play and in dash screens for less money so I am not really sure why Ford didn't step up their game. The paint is fragile and chips easily. Living in the desert, this is a big deal since you are constantly at war with pebbles and stones on the roadway. I also do not care for the new steering wheel. I do like the flat bottom but the leather wrap and steering wheel in general feels like cheap plastic. The steering wheel on my 2014 was much better. That is the most important part of the cockpit and Ford dropped the ball on it. Also, the exhaust tone, or lack there of. Come on Ford. You built a sporty car, gave it a quiet exhaust and replaced it with some fake engine noise that sounds more like a Subaru than a 2.0L Ford. Overall: This is just simply a great car and it is sad that 2018 will be its last year in the states. This care built a cult following over the past 5 years and got a lot of people into cars that normally would not be into fun to drive sporty hot hatches. I loved the reliability of the 2014 I owned and this 2018 is much refined over that one. The pro's greatly outweigh the cons, since for a little bit of money and some aftermarket parts, I can easily adjust it to my liking.

I went to Clear Lake Dodge to buy a used Tacoma truck that I had researched. The sales person was top notch, the “finance guy”, well he was a finance guy, but okay. So I was going to buy the truck for cash after I reviewed the CarFax with my wife (Dealer supplied, nice touch), and return the next day. So we did arrive a little early, but the sales associate was “paged”, and we sat, and sat…etc. As we waited my wife was looking over the new trucks on the sales floor, suggested we take our money and put it down on a new truck. So, after 40 minutes we left. I can only suggest that that leaving a customer on their own is dangerous to sales. My time is valuable, if you can’t respect that then, there are other fish in the sea. Overall a good experience as car dealer go, but for the closing.

This car is affordable. I know it has issues but Ford always keeps me up to date with current recalls. Great on gas and dependable.
