  Pros Quick and nimble performance with good gas mileage to boot!

  Cons Recaro seats are a bit grippy and lack fine tune adjustments

  This is a great little car. Finally, I understand why the Europeans have loved the Focus so much. This version is really fun to drive. It accelerates smoothly and effortlessly without any trace of turbo lag. I love that the horsepower is not coming at the expense of torque…both are excellent. The steering is accurate and instantly responsive as small driver inputs translate into quick maneuvers. It has little trace of wheel hoping torque steer that usually comes along with strong front wheel drive cars…nice work on the software! The suspension is tight without punishing (although this may be a subject to debate depending on what type of ride you are used to!). Breaks are quick without being twitchy and the exhaust note is great under power but vanishes at freeway cruising speeds…perfect.
  
  I’m driving a package 202A equipped model and it has all the nice features and details I’ve come to expend from higher end cars in a reasonably priced package. The technology is good (with a bit of learning) and the fit and finish really shows Ford is doing some great work these days....MoreHide

  Best car I have ever owned! This car has a lot of good features for the money. My favorite feature is the heated seats, which is included with the winter package.

  Pros Good fuel economy, comfortable ride

  Cons Not much to complain about

  Great small car that doesn't feel small. Most of my driving is on the highway with the big trucks. If there is anything to complain about, it's that the power windows don't have an auto-down feature. Oh, and the manual transmission could use a sixth gear. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing....MoreHide
