Ford Focus with two doors review
It only has 2 doors and looks awful. Lots for room inside though. It runs well and its pretty fast. Its comfy inside and the speakers were good.

Very durable car and very reliable.
My vehicle is small and reliable. Have had it multiple years with no major problems. It drives smooth and the engine is great. The tires that fit the car is great even in snow storm. That is good because I live in Midwest. The color is red and it is very durable. The radio is good. Transmission is good.

Dependable and great gas mileage. Just don't expect luxury. It was made well as far as engine and body but some pieces/parts of the interior and exterior car were cheaply made.
It has been very dependable and a great gas saver. Ford cut a few corners the year this car was made as far as the rear view mirrors are not very stable, they come off very easily. But then again it is not a luxury car, it is a practical car. I have had very few problems with this car even as old as it is. Overall a great car.

The never dying, forever alive vehicle.
Great car, honestly. For the age of it and the fact that it has over 230, 000 miles on it and it is still running and getting me and my daughter from place to place, I would definitely say it is very reliable. But it is a smaller car so this is probably not a family car but maybe a car for a teenager just starting out.

Ford Focus 2004: hit or miss?
Since it is an older car, it has its moments where things need to be fixed. It is currently being fixed after it failed inspection. Semi reliable, still has issues and sometimes, like today, I do not have a vehicle because it is getting fixed. Rather have a newer car.

Shitty car but it does its job
My car is very old I have a lot of issues and I have bad mileage. The vehicle dash lights don't work so I can't even see when I'm driving in the dark. Gas is about 20 mpg so it's not too bad but it not the best. The car is a starter car for me and my family

Great car for the price I paid for it.
I really like my car. There is just a lot of quirks and other minor flaws that make it a bit of a hassle to drive sometimes. Since it is an older car, it is a little beat up. It is broken down a few times but for the price I paid for it, that is somewhat understandable.

It still runs even after all these years.
It's like a tank--it has had a tree fall on it, but didn't get dented too much. It's had squirrels eat battery cables twice, and once squirrels built a nest by the battery. It's still running even though the check engine light has been on for almost 2 years.

Runs smooth after 16 years.
Excellent for a 16 year old vehicle. After 16 years and almost 150,000 miles, the only thing that has need to be replaced are the spark plugs, ignition coil, and rear bumper(not from wear however). Still gets between 25-30mpg on half hilly half highway use. Oil changes and parts aren't expensive if you look in a few places before biting the bullet. The car had been sat for 5 years in New England before I purchased it, and you would never know. No serious rust anywhere, infact I just polished the engine and that puppy still shines like new. All I can say is, If you treat yours like a beautiful lady, she will never leave you SOL.

Skeptical but purchased it anyway and very satisfied
This car is comfortable and kind of small. It has a large trunk for storage which is nice. It sits 6 if you need it to. 3 in front 3 in back. I like this option. It gets great gas mileage.

2004 Ford Focus: basic but good.
I think the car itself is great. It is definitely very basic, but my husband and I don't really need anything more than that. I am twenty three years old and it is actually still my first car that we're driving and I drove it in Michigan for several years before moving to Texas, so rust is very much so eating it alive and causing tons of problems that wouldn't have existed otherwise.

A little loud but gets around pretty nicely. Wish it had a little more power.
My main issue with this car is that the ignition keeps locking up and eventually it ended up getting permanently stuck. For a while I was able to hit the key on the end and jiggle it. (Looked it up on youtube) had to get it towed. They said it was very common. Ended up having to get the whole thing replaced. Worried it will happen again.

Good gas mileage and runs well if you keep up with it.
My car is pretty reliable, I have had a few fender benders in it and it has rain well as long as I have had it, which is 4 years. When I first got it I had to replace the temp gage and something with the coolant because it kept overheating, but after that I have had no issues.

Recommendations and Brief Evaluation of 2004 Ford Focus
The Ford Focus is not what I would deem an unreliable vehicle, nor even a bad choice of a vehicle. Perhaps not the most luxurious or comfortable, I would highly recommend this vehicle for a beginner. The interior is quite compact; with the fabric upholstery it can make for quite a stuffy environment. The top complaint on my particular vehicle are the brakes and shock system, though wear and tear is to be expected of a vehicle of this age. So while this vehicle does not drive as smooth as newer models, I would still highly recommend for an individual not seeking a higher end, luxurious car.

Great mpg averaging 33-45. Sits low, so you have to climb out of. Quite comfortable on long trips. Shifts smoothly. Easy to park. Gets knocked around in a stiff wind.

Driving a manual in 2018 can be interesting.
It is an older car which has been modified quite a bit by previous owners. It is a manual transmission, so you do need a certain comfort with driving stick to drive this car.

The 2004 ford focus that I drive has never given me a real problem to make me want to trade it in when I got it back in 2012.

Better than your average 2004 car.
My 2004 Ford Focus is sufficient to get me to and from work, but that is about it. The car itself is not bad, it needs new tire and a tune up. And a new radio. I have bought Ford in the past and would do it again. I am my experience they are reliable as long as you regularly maintain them, like any other vehicle.

Ford focus: awesomeness in a car.
I like the size of the car. I like the miles per gallon that I get. The heater and air conditioner work very well. It has a good strong motor. Does not burn oil. My Ford focus is very roomie. The trunk is very spacious. I can fit several bodies in it. Just kidding. My car has very low miles for how old it is. It is still going strong. The headlights are very bright and they light up a large area when driving at night. I like that I can see blind spots well. All in all I feel that the Ford focus is a great car.
