CONS: No spare tire!. How cheap!

REVIEW: I can't believe that I've had this car for almost 2 years because I still love it and I'm a pickup truck person. I picked a black 5 speed coupe with as many options as possible. I was very disappointed to discover when I got home and looked in the trunk and found a compressor instead ...

CONS: There are no cons

REVIEW: My husband and I have owned our 2008 Focus for almost a year. We truly love this car. Everywhere we go people are always asking us about the car. Many people can't believe its a Ford. Some of our favorite things about the Focus is the ride, the layout of the interior, the appearance. I ...

CONS: NONE

REVIEW: I purchased my Focus SES in Oct.2008 and two months later I had a terrible accident. The passenger side was completly smashed in, the air bag went off and I got out without a scratch!!Talk about a safe car. (DOWLING FORD in Cheshire, Ct ) restored it and it is a thing of beautyI have always had ...

CONS: gas mileage is not as good as I thought it would be

REVIEW: I purchased this vehicle about a year ago. I have the SES model. The main reason I got this car was because I wanted something with good gas mileage. I shopped around and was looking at purchasing a hybrid, either the civic or prius. After test driving though I liked this one because of all the ...

CONS: You think you're getting a safe car.. but you're not!

REVIEW: I purchased a brand new 2008 Ford Focus. A few months later I was involved in a collision. The air bags AND the seatbelts failed to work!!!! The two most important things had manufacturer defects. If you also bought this same vehicle.. I would suggest taking it in and having it tested. You'd ...

CONS: I scratch the bottom when parking, clunk noise when wheel is turned and in reverse.

REVIEW: This car is so absolutely the best. I drive it hard, and it performs. It has umph. It comfortably seats at four, and on long trips I feel just fine. I love driving my car. Any excuse to drive it, and I've had it a year, and I still love driving it. Only problem I've had is the clunk ...

CONS: Factory some factory parts like tires and break pads wore out far too soon.

REVIEW: This is a cheap car that rides like a cheap car. Buuuuuut....I got what I paid for and more. Very good gas mileage. Very fun to drive. Folding back seat gives trunk hatchback-like cargo capacity. Very versatile car. I drive my Focus hard and for the most part it holds up well. I would ...

CONS: Placement of accelerator, windshield wiper switch from 1992 Mercury Sable.

REVIEW: Got this as a rental for a week. Work as a security guard. Our patrol vehicle keeps breaking down. Boss rented this for us. I patrol a large open area. Spent 8 hous a day in the Ford Focus SE model. Love the exterior styling. It just plain looks good. Entry is great for a compact car thanks to ...

CONS: None. Very happy with it.

REVIEW: I'm 6'2" and I felt better after a round trip to Indianapolis from Cleveland in the Focus, than I did in our larger Taurus. Performance is fine for a small car. We needed better economy than the larger sedan was getting and we're getting 31+ combined city/highway. ...
