2009 Ford Focus S Sedan

Pros

Fuel economy, ease of handling and parking. Very good city car.

Purchased As Not Purchased

Drove my son's Focus to the cabin. Comfortable for a compact. Rather similar to our Pontiac Vibe in fuel economy and comfort. GEts in low 30s mpg for combined city and highway travel. He reports no maintenance difficulty.

Pros

Great fuel economy

I 've had my Focus for three months, my wife and I just love it .Looks great, rides great handles great its a great auto.

Pros

I average 36 mpg

I purchased my Focus in February of 08. Mine is a standard five speed w/NO frills. But I love the way it handles, and the gas mileage is great (average 36 mpg highway). There are only two things that I don't like about it: since I don't have electric windows, rolling down the windows is awkward; I actually have to be fully stopped to accomplish this. The other thing is that there is no lighting in the back seat, this makes it difficult when trying to put child in a safety seat in the dark, or trying to search for something back there....read morehide

Pros

I love everything about this car gas milage, ride, looks comfort

Cons

no spare tire have not been able to buy a set of cheep steel wheels to mount snow tires

I would have given the Focus a perfect score which I feel it deserves in its price class except for the ommission of the spare tire. My Focus came equiped with a tire inflator that might be fine for a puncture but I suffered a side wall blow out late at night on a rural road. I had to abandon the car and it was later damaged when towed. Even with a simple puncture the inflator is hard to understand how to operate....read morehide

Pros

It has super fuel economy with a little get up and go when needed.lot's of room even if you're tall

Cons

Great car

I don't like the drive to 1 selection only on my car. It is very dangerous in the mountain especially on ice.To hold second gear you have to put it in the 1 selection and if it goes below 25 it automatically drops to first sending you sideways in a hurry.Ford has done this funky and dangerous pattern since the early 80's on various vehicles.I can't beleive no one has sued them over it.I couldn't say anything else bad about this car.It beats our fuel economy expectations by far and lots of power in the hills. Work on the shifter pattern and you have agreat safe car....read morehide

Pros

good fuel economy

Cons

The car engine was too loud after 65 mph. The door was broken in the first month that I had it.

Poor value. A lot of things broke within the first 5 months of ownership. Finally, the brakes squeaked a lot, including when the car was parked and the handbrakes was used.

Pros

ALL THINGS ARE EXCELLENT

Cons

NONE THIS VEHICLE IS AWSOME

GREAT HANDLING, GREAT GAS MILEAGE BETTER THAN MY FREINDS TOYOTA, I WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Pros

Good fuel economy, great looks

Cons

Brakes need replacement around 20,000 kms.

I also have a grand marquis and the focus outperforms in traffic and at a speed of 80kms.
