This was the first car I ever bought, and I've loved it from day one. Although it doesn't look particularly sporty, the gas mileage on it is wonderful. I usually only pay about $30 to fill it up, and that gets me to 400 till E. I've driven back and forth across the state of TX in it and had no issues. It's incredibly trustworthy.

Overall, I liked my Ford Focus because it helped me keep my budget in check. I wanted to buy a smaller used car that would be easy to fix should it need repairs. This fit the bill on all points. Nothing about it is too expensive, including insurance. Since it was used, I did not care too much about wear and tear on the car, so not much stress went into the experience at all.
