Used 2009 Ford Focus for Sale

I was surprised at the quality of the Ford Focus. The car looks sleek without looking overly small or squished, like many small cars. However, it is a little generic looking. In a lot with many other silver cars mine can totally blend in. The engine is of a good quality; not overly loud, accelerates well, and the transmission shifts smoothly. When in traffic if I have to accelerate quickly to make use of a gap in traffic I know the car can handle it. However, sometimes it can idle a bit heavy. This goes away once it's in gear, though. There's room in the cabin to fit a 6'3" tall person, though at 5'11" my knees have little extra space while in the driver's seat. The console controls are straightforward and expected, although my car lacks some of the more advanced functions like Bluetooth or any on-board "computing". I would recommend an upgrade to the tires. Mine are a very basic brand and type and, especially in non-perfect conditions, the engine can overpower the traction. Overall the car is a great value for the price, and would be more so if some of the optional extras were applied. Would definitely buy a Focus again.

I had no problems with this vehicle at first, however a few months after purchasing it I noticed the vehicle seemed cheaply made. I do find the carvery stylish however which is partially how I was persuaded to purchase it.
