Comparing this to my 2012 Prius C, the Focus is absolutely one of the worst cars I have ever owned. Only one year apart and for about the same price- the Focus already shows signs of poor quality. There's a bunch of sun damage despite keeping it in the same environment as my Prius C...The sun damage is visible on the black accents outside of the vehicle, as well as on the dashboard. The steering wheel seems to be shedding (Don't ask- it's seriously shedding), and the power windows are having issues when rolling them up/down. They often get stuck, the car creaks, and sounds like it's about to physically fall apart. If you're looking for a car that will get you to 200k miles in it's lifetime- this isn't it.

The 2014 Focus ST that I purchased is a great car. It offers a 265hp turbo charged motor. The car itself is very stylish, as it is a hatchback and sits low. It came with an aggressive-looking front end, 18" rims, and a wing for the rear. The car has not had one issue since purchasing it. I have already put about 40k miles on it, and nothing has broken on the car. What I love about the car is that if driven lightly without gassing it, you can get very good gas mileage. However, what I don't like is the small gas tank that the car has.
