"I have owned my 01 Focus 4 DR LX for 19 months. Purchased it with 55XXX miles in 2008 from original owner. It now has 68XXX. Vehicle is great on gas and very practical. Large trunk for a car this size. Vehicle has been running fine since purchased. I have not invested any money in it other than oil changes and car mats."

"I bought this car 2years ago and have loved it. Has been very reliable. All ive had to do is general tune ups and the car just keeps going. Put a K&N air filter in it and Fusion sparkplugs and this car is actually pretty quick. I put a tow hitch on the back to pull around my utility trailer. This car doesnt get as good of gas mileage as everyone thinks but its still good. I would recomend this car to everyone."

"I'm 19 and drive a focus. This is the PERFECT car for a college student because it's incredible on gas (I commute to school, rather than living in a dorm). I took a trip to a place that was 4 1/2 hours away, and then entire trip cost my gas tank about $40. Mine is the kiwi green, and I love the option of having such a different color. I haven't had any problems with my car yet, and am expecting to keep it for a while! Thank you Ford =]"

"This is the first car i ever bought. it's an '05 & had 29,000 mi on it, it now has 53,000 and still running great! I did put a little money into it.. front right tire blew out when i hit a pothole and it now needs an alignment, rear brake light went out one time. loud rattle underneath car when i hit bumps it could be suspension or bearings so that is going to cost a bit for me plus i need all new tires. but saying all that i do love this car! picks up spead nicely and good brakes. perfect starter car for young ppl or small family. i paid 10,800 for it 2 yrs ago and i think i got a good deal at the time."

"I bought my ford last year used. I have never had a problem with it. I even drove across the country twice in it. My only complaint is the lack of sync technology that the newer models have. I love the interior gray color. Ford later came out with the car in black or camel interior. My friend has the black and you can't see anything at all in her vehicle. There is no lighting in the backseat which is something I would definitely like to have. Overall, the car is excellent and has responded well to my boyfriend's rough driving as well."

"The transmission went on our 01 Ford Escape twice within 1 1/2 years. So we traded for an 06 Ford Focus. We do not recommend the Focus. It is not comfortable for tall people (6.0 feet +) or long road trips. Road noise is apperant. When the two back windows are rolled down there is a pulsating sound that I've never had with previous vehicles. After two years of ownership, the A/C quit working. After three years of ownership we are replacing the third set of tires because the tires wear so unevenly. We have heard the same story from other Focus owners about the tires. We are not happy with this vehicle and would not recommend it."

"Apparently there is some problem with the engine design. I took good care of the car and one day its just stopped running. It was like no fuel was getting to the engine. Mechanic said only one cylinder had ANY sign of compression. Very dissappointed. Will not buy another Ford."

"The car is an ok car. Engine runs smoothly but i think everything else is about ready to break of fall off. Not alot of problems yet, after i got the new fuel pump(which is on recall) car runs better. The car does not seem to be holding up very well, wearing down quickly. GET WHAT U PAY FOR IM NOT IMPRESSED FORD."

"Bought it new 5/2004. 66k miles and I haven't had any problem with it, not even a light bulb. So far its cost me gas, oil, a set of tires, a set of spark plugs, and air filters. It gets 34mpg hwy, 25mpg city. I've driven it cross country 3 times. It's reasonably comfortable and has enough power for me. Ford, in it's inexplicable lack of wisdom, discontinued this model and the wagon, which are the two most practical models in the Focus line. I can get an amazing amount of stuff into the back of mine and would have bought a wagon had there been one available at my dealer. My only complaint is that it's noisy at highway speeds, but mine came with the 16" rims and wide tires. And being a Ford, it's resale value isn't wonderful so I think this model would be a good value to purchase. I'm planning to hold onto mine until it's dead."

"I bought a 2003 ZX5 with a manual transmission for the fuel economy. I have almost 90,000 miles on it and had only three major problems. The ignition cylinder failed (common problem with this car), the clutch master cylinder leaked, and the OE Blaupunkt radio failed (hard to find a replacement for this 2-DIN size). Other than fluids and wipers, I haven't had to do much for maintenance. Great fuel economy - about 30 mpg mostly city driving and close to 35 mpg on extended highway trips. It handles great for an economy car, and the hatch provides great utility (I hauled an under the cabinet microwave and a dishwasher on separate occasions). Too bad Ford stopped selling the 5-door model."

"We bought this car new in 2004 and haven't taken it back to the Ford dealer for anything but oil changes. The car has had zero problems or repairs. It is also a joy to drive. It has plenty of power and also gets 34 mpg on highway driving. It would be hard to convince me that a Honda or a Toyota would be a better buy. I also have two other family members who have similar experiences with their Ford Focus."

This car has worked out great for me. I hear the new ones are even better. I recommend the Focus to anyone who wants a great small car."
