Used 2002 ford focus. Tan sedan, 3 seats in the back. Great on gas.

My 2002 ford focus is an awesome car. It is very comfortable, has just enough room in the front in back. Not too small. It is a great gas saver. It ran perfectly fine until, unfortunately, some issues came up with it recently. Fixes will be made soon. The car was bought used so I would say the reliability is pretty good, as long as it is being maintained and taken care of.

I already have done that.

I like the size. It is economical. Car is good on gas. Dependable ride. It has plenty of cargo room. Provides reliable transportation. Upkeep is reasonable also. I like the color. I like the performance. I do not need a huge gas guzzler. Nor do I need a sports car. Something of a normal size for everyday use.

I love how durable it is it has kept me injury free after a accident a few years ago and it still runs pretty well

My car is reliable at a decent price and a sedan that's all

My car is reliable for the most part. When one piece breaks so does another though.

Susan S

It's runs very good with not too many repairs. It gets very good gas mileage.

My vehicle gets very good gas mileage It runs like a charm even though it's pretty old. It gets me where I want to goo

Brenda B

Great little ride and fab gas mileage!

Super reliable. Great gas mileage. Is older, but performs super well and runs smoothly. It is comfortable, with one drawback being the middle console. It is super tiny and hardly fits anything in it. The av is a bit loud when the car turns off, but other than that I do not notice anything mechanically wrong.

It needs new suspension. .

The suspension has been bad from the day I bought it, wears down the tires due to the bad suspension, very squeaky.

Don’t waste your money Tons of recalls

Although this car is good on gas it’s a POS you fix one think something else breaks fix that and again there’s another issue. The engine in the car is basically non existent has no pickup and drones. Tons of issues.

It is a small car. It is good for gas mileage but too small for a tall person

It is a smaller car. It runs well but it is small and I don't like it. I feel like I cannot see around me very well. I also don't have much head room.

Gage H

It is a very small car and does not have a lot of space for tall people like me

I have had my car for 2 years . The car is very loud . It overheats very quickly and parts of the car are falling apart. I do have to travel from Morgan county tennessee to Murfreesboro tennessee quite regularly for college

Don't really like it. It needs too many repair. Not good mileage,

Don't buy one,.. Not worth the money. Not good mileage.

Ford Focus: last resort car.

The trunk has one of those inside release pulls that gets stuck pretty often, meaning our trunk does not lock. The fuel filter is extremely difficult to change because of how and where its placed. The headlights are also extremely difficult to change for headlights as you must stick your hand in a pringles can size tube and squeeze a latch. Besides that, the car drives well. We drive a manual version of the car, so its really great on gas. The inside of the car is actually pretty nice, even if a little dull. Everything is pretty grey, but easy to access and use everything.

Crystal A

My poor little broke down Ford Focus.

To many issues, always had some problem that needs to be fixed. To much money spent to fix. When you turn it on it makes s loud noise. It's a good car got me from a to b but overall not the best car, I've had to spend a lot more than what it actually cost me to buy it.

Rhiannon R

My experience with a used 2002 ford focus.

It has a lot of issues. It is not a good car if you do a lot of driving. Regular maintenance is very important. It is easy to work on and parts are affordable. It seems like a money pit. Once a fix an issue it seems 2 more pop up. I suggest this car if you do local driving.
