We have used this car daily with great results. It performs well on the interstate, and we have never had any major issues. This is the second Focus that we have owned. The one minor annoyance is that sometimes we get a dinging sound when opening the driver door as if the headlights were on, even when they're not.

I personally enjoy almost everything about the Ford Focus (2006). It's amazing on gas mileage. As someone who has great anxiety driving, it is great size wise. I'm never afraid I'm going to accidentally cross into another lane. I'm 100% happy with my purchase overall.
