It is very flexible with uses and has been very reliable.
I love the reliability and adaptability of the vehicle. In the 15 years I have owned it I have spent less then $2000 in maintenance and repair. I take good care of it and the body looks like a newer car.
Ariel P

Perfect car for everyday use.
This car gets great gas mileage, and runs smoothly. The car has needed little maintenance and had practically no issues thus far. There is a lot of room on the interior, and fits four people comfortably. Interior does heat up quickly, and makes car very hot easily.

It is blue-green and pretty nice.
Its blue-green. It is pretty good. My dad bought it used so I do not know much about it. Oh but I need to write more. It is smaller and low to the ground than other cars, which is nice, but the nose is kinda long which makes parking sort of difficult cause sometimes I do not realize how close to the curb I am, but that's probably just because I am a new driver..

It goes where we want to go. It has standed the test of time and is enjoyable
It can hold my wheelchair. It has space for groceries. JIt has good gas mileage
Angela s
on March 16, 2021
It's roomier on the inside than it looks.
I like the size of my car. It feels very roomy inside but It's still fair small and is very easy to navigate tight streets, turns and parking spaces. I don't like that the alternator has needed to be replaced every two years.

It's good on gas and its compact and comfortable and
I like the gas and how it drives i wish it was a little bigger i have three kids i need a little bigger
Zach C
on March 7, 2021
This vehicle is compact but has plenty of room. It has fantastic gas mileage.
Works great! Coolant leaks a bit though. The biggest problem would have to be the fact that the stereo does not work so well.
George B
on March 6, 2021
It is a beauty and runs good.
Car is a 4 door sedan red in color with a sunroof, am/ FM CD player radio. It has power steering, brakes, windows and mirrors. I bought it used and have done minor repairs so far. A new battery and cables and a new alternator. Tuned it up and changed the oil.
Jennifer E
on March 4, 2021
That it's reliable and good on gas. It's a small compact car. Not that roomy
I love that it's economical and good on gas. I hate that it's older but it's very reliable
Bo Y
on February 21, 2021
Great little car for basic commuting!
It gets me where I need to go reliably despite the fact that I do not get it serviced often. The gas mileage is good and the cargo space is spacious enough. However, it's a bit noisy.
Mary L
on February 20, 2021
Very family friendly and great for bigger families and road trips.
I like the small size and that it is easy on gas it runs good and I have not had any real issues with it.
Mark W
on February 16, 2021
I should note that because the Ford has such a wide frame, I don't have to worry too much about serious injuries in case of an accident.
My Ford currently has minor issues with the heating but it's extremely reliable as far as mileage and speed and the seats are comfortable enough for a smooth ride around the city or when I need to go handle business. It comes with built-in navigation so I never have to worry about getting lost on any trip and it's very easy to use. However the actual model of the car isn't as pleasing to me on the eyes, but it gets me from point A to point B which is all that matters to me at the moment.
Israel N
on February 13, 2021
It runs like champs I couldn't sell it even if I had.
I love my car so much even though I got hit from behind I still drive it like if it was the most luxury car in the world yes it can gives me problems and big headaches but I will fix it no matter what many people thinks is just a old ugly car but when you have worked hard and accomplish to get your own car by yourself then you will feel so proud of yourself.
Nd J
on February 12, 2021
It is a good and efficient car.
My car drives well and is in good condition and that is the reason I like it. However, I feel the model is old, and wear and tear is beginning to catch up with it. It therefore needs a replacement.

Ford Focus review- great car just old model
To start of my vehicle is very old and outdated compared to a new car. When I first got this car it was great and there was nothing for me to complain about. However, I have had this car for a long time now and it didn't have much problems as expected from an old car. It is very reliable. Problems that my car has had includes a non functioning air conditioner, a stiff steering wheel, and a door that was not opening. All the problems mentioned are fixable. This car looks a little rusty now, but it looked great when I first purchased it.
Rebekah T
on February 9, 2021
Ford Focus, overall good car
Pretty good first car. Unfortunately it has had some transmission problems since I got it 3 years ago.
Margaret H
on February 7, 2021
Drives great, very roomy.
I love my car. I like Fords. The only thing I dislike is that it is old. Wish I could buy a newer one.
Katherine C
on February 2, 2021
It gets me from point A to point B. There's no bells and whistles because I don't want any
It's a sturdy, straight-forward car that's served me well over the last 7 years. It is getting old, however, and the need for repairs is adding up, nor does it compares to newer cars as far as MPG goes.
Joe J
on January 24, 2021
Nothing, as I don't care about it. It's a means of transportation.
It's small and easy to drive. I really enjoy it's good gas mileage. I don't like the color and it's image.
Crystal W
on January 24, 2021
Great gas mileage. Drives smoothly. Very quiet.
Comfortable, reliable, it's a nice vehicle. Good car for a small family. It's great on gas. I really like my car. It is a good travel vehicle. It rides smoothly. Lots of safety. It's not very good for tall people my dad has a hard time getting in and out of it and he is 6' tall.
Brent G
on January 23, 2021
It is definitely not a sports car.
I like the good gas mileage it gets. It is surprisingly comfortable for a taller guy. I wish it accelerated better.
Carrie R

Ford Focus; a comfortable and fun car
I own a 2003 White Ford Focus ZX3 Hatchback, and it is truly a great vehicle. It's zippy, fast, and it handles corners with ease. It's great on gas, and comfortable to drive.
Fonda W
on January 14, 2021
The Ford focus has great mileage and saves money on fuel.
Has good gas mileage. Is safe, has side airbags. I have no complaints.
Matti A
on January 10, 2021
Focus must be on the blue.
Reliable car, my drivers side window has stopped working but other than that, it is drove perfectly. It is just not the best to look at. I haven't had any engine problems since I have had the car. It is wimpy trying to climb up hills but it definitely gets me from point A to point B without issue.
Kim B
on December 26, 2020
It gets good mileage about 22 mpg city.
Stick shift constantly needing repair. But small and gas friendly. Economical. Cheaper parts to fix it.
Zach F
on December 22, 2020
That it is a decently cheap, reliable car.
I don't like how bulky it is. I enjoy It's decent gas mileage. I didn't like the steering wheel too much.
Valerie W
on December 14, 2020
I've had it since 2004. I traveled an hour to look at it.
It's been a fantastic car since 2004 I love the sunroof. My window doesn't roll down.
Melinda C
on December 11, 2020
It has required a lot of maintenance over the years for issues common with this vehicle. For being a small car, it can actually hold a lot.
My vehicle is small and cute. I like that it's short because it makes parallel parking easier, however, it's wide which can make it hard to get into spots sometimes. I've also had several problems with it, which after researching the problem, discovered they're just common problems with this model of cars that were made during a time range of this vehicle.
Christie J
on December 10, 2020
Small, compact, nicknamed the skittle because it is bright blue.
Runs like a champ, just not pretty no more. Cracked windshield, hail damage from 3 storms. Mechanically sound. Love how I can zip through heavy traffic with it. Wish it got better miles per gallon like it used to. Has 144, 000 miles and needs tires. A/c works great.
Kay J
on December 7, 2020
Good car, but not incredibly reliable.
The car is incredibly comfortable. The visibility is good, I like the features in the vehicle (adjustable headlights, 8 speeds on windshield wipers). Gets decent gas mileage, good gas capacity. It does need to be serviced much more than other cars, ford reputation holds true here.
Meagan U
on December 1, 2020
Living in Florida my cars a.c. Works really well and fast. Even though it is starting to mess up and make sounds once It's fixed again it will feel like brand new.
I like my car because it is very reliable, it gets me to point A to B. It's the perfect size for me and my kids, but It's starting to have problems. It's starting to make a funny sound and my husband said it was the ac going out. Once that messes up It's going to mess up other things on the car.
Brittany D
on November 28, 2020
Saves you money to and from work.
Locks you out. Steering wheel airbag clock was broken to begin with. Great gas mileage. Long lasting car. 6 CD holder. Comfortable. Fog lights. Hatchback can fall apart. Windshield wipers on back window. No heated seats. Great speaker quality. Pay 30 to fill up car and as low as 10 on pick n' save card.
Jen M

Long lasting, reliable, good gas Mileage, easy to drive
I have had my vehicle since 2007, no MAJOR issues, mostly wear and tear items. Waiting for it to die
Mary M
on November 4, 2020
It is a 16 year old car that only had one owner before me.
Because the car is 16 years old and it wasn't driven since may 2018, the car is a little shaky and hesitant. Once the car gets a tune up the car will run as good as new. The car is silver and is a very good car for a first car for me. The inside is very cozy as well.
Megan L
on November 1, 2020
Good love it so good very nice.
Nice and good car I like it nice to drive handles well gas mileage is great. Sears are comfortable very soft and supportive I like the music system all the controls buttons and knobs. Tires are great smoky ride great breaks quiet nice smooth. Car is very good.
Niki S

Fast Focus a great car for quick, cheap, easy, traveling.
It's a very reliable car. I love it! It's great on gas, easy to drive, and you can pack in a lot of stuff if traveling. It handles great on the highway, parts are pretty cheap and very easy to fix. It has air conditioning! I have only had to fix the water pump since I owned it and that was hard because they don't make the part anymore so I had to go to a junkyard to find the piece I needed.
Melanie L

Ford focus review! Getting a ford will be the best choice you have ever made!
I have had my ford focus for over 4 years now and it has been a reliable car. Of course it is a car, so things do happen (battery dies, pop a tire,etc.) I have taken my car for long distance trips when I went to visit family in Houston (I am in Dallas) and it held up nicely.
Andrew M
on October 28, 2020
It gets great gas mileage so you don't need to spend much to get around.
It is a small car with very low cost of ownership, repairs are inexpensive as is the cost of gas due to the high gas mileage. It's nothing sporty.
Jean H
on October 17, 2020
Red 2003 Ford Focus se, a good buy for me.
I have kept up standard maintenance and have had no problems with my 2003 Ford Focus. While it is not the luxury sedan, it is comfortable for long trips with the adjustable driver's seat. It now has over 150000 miles on it and still runs great. The paint has not faded and the interior is still in very good condition. I have owned my car since 2004 and have been happy with my purchase.

Decent choice for commuting.
Ford Focus is a decent small sized vehicle. It is pretty reliable, cheap to maintain and service when needed, as well as good on gas. Mine is simple and unfussy, great for daily commute to work. Perfect for what I use it for. Definitely a solid economic option.
Abigail B
on October 11, 2020
2003 Ford Focus, getting old and dangerous.
The car has rusted out, is extremely loud and just does not feel safe to drive. We have done regular oil changes and for some reason my windshield fluid does not work. I had to change a tire when one popped and the wheel had like melded to the frame, it took a lot to get it off.
Morgan B
on September 18, 2020
Ford Focus: Friend or Foe?
Overall, my car is very comfortable to drive and is good on gas. The car is used and has had quite a bit of problems since buying. This could be due to the previous owner or the car itself. I do enjoy driving this car though and would consider buying a newer model
Char B
on September 14, 2020
Perfect vehicle for a busy mom.
My vehicle is extremely reliable. I have been able to successfully take it on a 70 plus mile drive from Los Angeles to Redlands. It is very good on gas, I can fill up the tank with $40 and it has plenty of space for groceries. Cost of maintenance is fairly inexpensive as well.
Kris H
on September 14, 2020
My car is a red Ford Focus and she is great.
My car does not have any issues. I have had this car since college and it is still up and running. I have taken this car all up and down the east coast and there has not been any issues for me. In addition, it's a great starter car for younger drivers.

White Ford Focus SE 2003 cloth interior gray
It's a white 2003 Ford Focus SE. Pretty old car but is reliable. Bought it used for $1300. Only problems it had when I bought it was; it shook when driving, the tires weren't that good, the radio was crappy and the breaks were crappy too. But I got it all fixed and it drives perfectly fine. Haven't had an engine issues or oil leaks
Melissa S

Roosevelt P
on September 1, 2020
My vehicle rides very smooth and is easy to handle.
The Ford Focus has a 2. 0 four cylinder and is very strong at 123000 miles it does not use any oil and runs very smooth. The body inside and outside is very well kept. The engine also has twenty four valve, it was well cared for in that it is service at the recommended mileage which is every three thousand miles, I am well pleased.
Dan F
on August 20, 2020
That it performs well, for the most part, but doesn't stand up to rust.
Like the way it handles.size is good.radio went bad.didn't stand up to that very well.
Gary Barlow
on August 19, 2020
A great car
The focus is have is nice. Bought it used with about 150k miles and a few nicks and dents in the body. Owner said it was bought in 2003 and still runs 17 years later. An all- round great and reliable family car
Kaitlyn S
on August 18, 2020
Reliable and practical car.
Most reliable car I have ever owned. I've only had routine maintenance issues, like replacing tires and oil changes. It’s nothing fancy, but it is great for city driving and everyday commutes. Gas mileage is ok. Features are outdated. Practical and reliable.
tessa J
on August 16, 2020
Runs smoothly while driving.
Needs new transmission and there is a minor gas leak brakes down not to often has heated seats a sunroof the car itself you a great car it was my very first car that I purchased on my own. I recommend people buying this car and is great on gas runs smoothly while driving.
Diamond W
on August 15, 2020
It's fast and low on gas.
Car runs ok it has low miles but still runs like it has so many. The hose wire under it fell for no reason after being put back. It's good on gasbags reliable. It's the perfect to and from car, it would be better if the back seat area was deeper and bigger
Joyce B
on August 15, 2020
My Ford Focus and me forever friends.
My car is cute, stable, reliable and gas efficient. It rides smooth and accelerates nicely. I tend to be a defensive driver and my car meets those demands. It is small enough to be inconspicuous in right lane traffic. Everyone can zip right past me and I can continue to travel 'jollily' along at my comfortable speed.
Robert B
on August 11, 2020
It runs very strong for having 230 thousand miles on it.
It's a very dependable car replaced a lot of parts on vehicle but motor and trans work just fine it has over 200 thousand miles and couldn't be happier although I had to replace the six disk stereo twice and not happy about that besides that the car runs just fine only paid 300 and put in about a thousand so I am happy.
Kelli D
on August 6, 2020
There was very little wear and use of it in its first 12 years of ownership.
I like the dependability of my vehicle. I like the way that it has held up for over 15 years of use. I dislike the old radio in my vehicle.
Dennis K
on August 5, 2020
Ford Focus 2003 good ride but costly repairs.
I purchased it used. The body was in good condition, some minor dents and scratches. Ac worked fine and heat. . After 2 years the transmission shift lever failed and had to be replaced at a cost of about $1200. It has had problems with the whole coolant system especially the thermostat, repaired for about 400. It gives good gas mileage and rides smoothly, but the initial expense after buying hit hard.
Hayden P
on August 3, 2020
Ford Focus that is reliable and affordable
Reliable. Holds up for long time. Would buy again. Comfortable for passengers and roomy. Had some electrical issues once that was easily fixable. Upholstery didn't hold up and I needed seat covers. Gas mileage is decent and I've never run out. Great car will buy again.
Donna S
on August 1, 2020
Excellent service and reliable.
I have replaced tires twice on car but rarely have any major repairs. I have had the car checked, oil changed and other maintenance work done every 3000 miles. In the 15 years I have had it, I have spent less than $2000 on the car. 800 was tires. It has exceeded my expectations.
Savannah B
on July 28, 2020
It's a good car. Fast car. Always reliable
Runs and operates good. It's the most reliable vehicle I've owned. Good radio and speakers. Only problem is tires but its not a big one
Lynn K
on July 24, 2020
Basic and safe -- the Ford focus.
The car was reliable and safe when my sons used it in high school. It is a station wagon which permitted them to carry sports equipment to practice and games after school. It is struggling now that I am driving it, but it has lasted 14 years!

Ford still rolling strongish
My car currently has no AC unit with the hot California Sun it is almost unbearable, there's no sunroof it's stuck and the car rattles and shakes when I hit about 60 mph but it does have almost 300,000 miles and it's still going despite those minor problems.
Trish M
on July 16, 2020
Not recommended. Get something that is more reliable.
Parts go out fast, needs repairs all the time. Steering wheel sometimes locks while driving. If one thing starts to go out then the whole car slows down. I need new spark plugs and the whole car lost most of its power. But they do last as long as you keep up with repairing it.
Sean E
on July 14, 2020
2003 Ford focus. Extremely reliable and affordable.
A solid car. Reliable even into the higher mileage with regular maintenance. The biggest issue has been the brakes. For some reason they need to repaired or replaced more often than other vehicles that I have owned. It is a very lite and compact which makes it easy to park in tight spaces. It would be nicer if it had a little bit more horsepower but it is peppy enough. I have had a couple of problems with the power window mechanisms breaking as well as the radio shorting out. The seats in the front and back are very comfortable considering the smaller size of the vehicle. The gas mileage is very good for the year and it does not take a ton of money to fill the tank. It seems to do well with tire ware even though I purchase mid grade tires. Since I live in New York we get a bunch of snow and this car does very well except for severe icy conditions. The heating and air conditioning has had some issues but not until owning it for quite a while. I definitely would recommend this specific vehicle if you can find a used mid mild version.
Gale M
on July 7, 2020
The ford focus 2003 is an oldie but goodie!
My ford focus 2003 performs pretty nicely considering its age! It drives well, gets good mileage, and is overall very reliable when it comes to getting me from place to place! It is a very comfortable car, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality car for a fair price!
Amanda S
on June 30, 2020
Ford Focus hatchback I would recommend.
My Ford Focus is very reliable, as long as kept up with, as most vehicles. It's a hatchback which is very helpful. Gas mileage is wonderful, since I commute a lot. There is a lot of room in the back, when the seats are pulled down. The sound system is great.
Linda G

Has not let me down very often.
I have had my car for about 7yrs. I have had some problems but have a great mechanic. If I had to buy another car it will be another Ford focus.

Found On Road in Delight!
The silver bullet, as I refer to her as, always has something going wrong with her. Either the heating gauge is to the top or a noise is being made under the hood. The fluids leak and there are constant repairs being made, but I don't completely hate the vehicle.
GUSTABO LUNA
on June 12, 2020
My First Car #1 Overall
I Love the way it can peel out into the freeway at such a fast speed and maintain stability I love the way it's so feel efficient it is just right size in the car overall there's nothing I don't like about it Ford has done a real good job and has made a gym out of boxes I believe that the Ford focus 2003 SE is the most reliable most efficient the most safest car that has been built by Ford top-notch I'm happy and I couldn't want any other car ever again I highly recommend it to anyone out there.
angela T
on June 9, 2020
2004 red ford focus reliable, gas efficient, easy to drive.
My vehicle is a 4 door sedan. It runs very well and is very good on gas, I like that it comes with a CD player and the radio is up to date and you can change the bass and treble as well as other things. This car is not spacious and if you are going on a long trip I don't recommend having more than 2 people in the backseat. The front driver seat is hard to move and is mostly impossible to get it where you can be comfortable, I have not had any major problems with this car except that the headlights randomly shut off causing me to have to turn my brights on in order to drive at night. This would be a great first car for someone. This car is reliable and is good on gas as long as you keep the oil changed and keep it tuned up.
Press Man
on June 5, 2020
Dependable
451663 miles, same engine, same transmission (Mtx-75), replaced a lot of little stuff, added some performance stuff. Even if I gun it most of the time while driving still get 22 miles to the gallon. Might have liked the larger 2.3 liter, but that engine looks a lot weirder. This 2.0 does work. With the hatch and the seats folded down I've fit both a dryer and a stove in this lil joker. Not at the same time of course. Piled wood into it, disassembled and tied a shed on the roof, I've done it all with this lil car. Do your maintenance and they'll last.
Robert Andrade
on June 3, 2020
It's 2019 and has 270,000 miles on it.
I bought this car in 2008, used.It's the best car that I've ever owned. Not knowing how long it will last, in 2018, I bought a new Focus Titanium. Great car, but it stays parked most of the time while I continue to drive the 2003. I've had to replace the transmission on it, but who cares? It's still fun to drive and it runs like it's new. Because I like the Sync 3 in the new Focus, I upgraded the radio to a Boss Android/Apple radio, so I have Google Maps, Bluetooth and all the modern features of a new radio head. (Yes Boss...not Bose). If you want to upgrade your radio, I do recommend Boss. They are inexpensive and with very minor unseen and undetectable bezel modifications, these radios look factory installed and really updates the interior or an older car that has lots of life in it.
Narelie G
on May 31, 2020
Even if it look old and broken, it will still take you places.
I like that it is easy to drive and it's small enough to fit in small places. I like that it's not electrical, because you get a small work out.
Juan R
on May 25, 2020
They should know that it's expensive to fix, the mechanic wants 3,000$ to make it run.
I like that it's small and compact, also stick shift. I also like the miles per gallon I spend around 40$ a week. I dislike the acceleration, it's slow to start.
Allison S
on May 22, 2020
I have owned more than one Ford Focus and would definitely buy another one!
My 2003 Ford Focus is very reliable. It is very good on gas I can usually fill it up from empty on just $20. It is also very easy to drive. I also really enjoy the size of the vehicle it is not too big and very easy to park. It also is the perfect size for our family with a big backseat and large truck for groceries etc.. This is actually the third Ford Focus I have owned and I would definitely buy another one.
Dennis H
on May 13, 2020
It is very reliable and doesn't require much upkeep.
It's great on gas and handles pretty good in bad weather. Very reliable and doesn't require much upkeep. Not the best looking car. Would like awd or 4 wheel drive.
Breanna W

It is silver and has four doors. It runs decently, but has some issues. I bought it used so I can't really complain.
It doesn't run very well. It jerks a little when it drives.

Cindy N
on May 3, 2020
My car has pep and is cute and fun to drive.
This vehicle has been very reliable, although it is older, and has had to have a refurbished engine to replace the original one. It gets me around town, when it ravel out of town I get a rental car. I like the size, it gets decent gas mileage and runs very smooth with mid grade gas and synthetic oil. I like driving my vehicles until there is no life left in them. I do not have to have a car payment that way.
d b
on April 26, 2020
It's a good performing car, and does well in all types of weather, including snow.
I like my vehicle, it has served my needs for many years. It is the right size for my family needs. It is low maintenance and uses less gas compared to other vehicles.

Cute and affordable Ford Focus
I own a Ford Focus 2003 zx3. I absolutely love my car because it has easy maintenance, very reliable, great on gas! Comfortable inside. This car will run forever with good care and i would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for starter car or a good commuting or everyday vehicle. Another great thing about my car is how much space there is in the trunk for shopping and also the collapsing seats that make the back into a flatbed that could be used for moving items, tailgating, or camping! Amazing car overall!
Sean S
on April 22, 2020
Super great in oil! Super realizable!
It has never broke down on me. It does not have very much power. It is normal for top speed for a small size car. It does really well on fuel and will be really good. The front end of the fuel tank lasts longer. The car does well on oil and is super great!
Patrick Z

Durable car has almost two hundred thousand miles still running.
Paid $1800 3 years ago I have only done two tune ups two brake jobs and put four tires I got it with one hundred thousand miles and have put another ninety thousand I have driven to Florida three times from Boston and never had a problem I would recommend a Ford Focus anytime.

Perfect car for anyone learning to drive.
The 2003 ford focus se is the perfect size. It can comfortably fit 4 people. It rides like a larger vehicle but has the great feature of being small enough to navigate efficiently and safely. I have had my vehicle for almost 10 years and have only had to replace 2 parts. It is very reliable. I love my little car!

It is a comfortable car as compact go. I inherited the car have had it a year. They owners took good care of it, never drove it hard. Getting on in years not a lot of miles.

Ford Focus 2003: spunky and sufficient.
I love my car, but I also acknowledge it has its idiosyncrasies. Because it is an older model (2003), it has started to have trouble reaching high speeds and I do not feel particularly safe driving over 70, especially in the rain. Otherwise, though, I would say it has been very reliable and dependable. I like the handling and the size - it is so easy to park anywhere. I am able to pack a good amount of stuff in the trunk and backseat, thankfully. Comfort-wise, it is fine but nothing special. After a long drive, you definitely are ready to move around and get out of the seat.

My favorite friend - my non-fancy Ford Focus.
My car is not the most beautiful to others but she, however is the love of my life! I have had very few problems with her which makes her extremely reliable. She is so small but can transport many as we zip in and out of traffic when necessary. She can sneak in and out of parking spots with ease. "Fordy" is so special that she is easy on the pocketbook. She gets lots and lots of miles to the gallon so we do not visit our enemies, the awful gas stations, very often. Try a Ford Focus se. It is for the fancy and the non fancy folks!

Nothing is automatic. Do not forget to lock the doors! Also there's no a/c.
It does not have a stereo system that you can plug a phone or iPod into. I actually like that the door locks and windows are not automatic. Fewer things to break. It has 100k miles on it and has never needed any serious work.

Performance of a 2003 ford focus.
This car gets me where I need to be but the interior needs work because it is coming apart. There were issues with the air conditioning which is very old fashioned but works okay currently. The muffler is noisy and there used to be issues with the turn signals.

Ford made a winner with the Focus.
6 speed standard transmission makes a fun drive accept in morning/late afternoon traffic. Enough room for comfortable seating. Has good extras like inclement weather road handling. I bought it new and expect to have it several more years.

My little Focus might be little but it is loyal and dependable.
My vehicle is easy to scoot around in. The gas tank is only 13 gallons, it doesn't take my whole check to fill up. It is easy to get in and out of my car. It has a nice big trunk. It is a great little car. The only thing I do not like about the car is that it does not get great gas mileage. I thought for sure it would but unfortunately it does not. I have a silver Focus and it is really easy to keep it clean. It always looks really nice.

I am to be able to pack a lot of stuff in there for when I need it.
It sits pretty low to the ground and doesn't have a lot of horsepower, but it can get up to past 100 mph. The driver's seat is very comfortable. The back seats are pretty crowded. The trunk is super spacious which comes in handy. There is unfortunately no aux inputs, but if you want to play your own music, it's easy to get a cigarette lighter input from the store and it is Bluetooth.

Ford Focus: great car for anyone.
The breaks can get work out, and when you plan on accelerating, it takes a bit compared to something like a Honda. Not as much power. Good on gas, does not take up too much so it is affordable. Quite reliable from my experience, a bit small to be a long distance car but it still does the job. Most of the time it is easy maintenance. Access to Ford product is not difficult.

Great gas mileage. It's wonderful for long distance drives. It's very reliable.
I love the air conditioning, the mileage is fantastic. The motor hasn't given me any issues whatsoever. I've traveled over 1200 miles with it for a trip and it did great.
