Used Ford Focus for Sale in Syracuse, NY

I purchases my 2012 Ford Focus in used condition. Upon purchase my car had 15,000 miles on it and was almost like new. I have had few problems with the Focus. I am a single mother of a teenage girl and a ten year old son with autism. I am also an artist and sports mom, so our car is all purpose, from hauling groups of teenagers here and there, traveling with sports teams, we are all over the place, all of the time. My son has issues with behaviors and we have had some instances in the car where he will try to jump out while moving because he is having a meltdown. This is where the child lock feature has come in very handy. I am also truly appreciative of the automatic door lock and window lock control from the driver's seat. It has prevented a few items from flying out the window. The only negatives I have had have been driving in the snow, this car seems much lighter than my last vehicle and has a very difficult time fairing the back roads and especially making it up hills on snowy days. A lot of that had to do with upgrading my tires but there are still certain ways we can't travel in certain road conditions. We also have some trouble in the rain the car seems to hydroplane easily and has a harder time holding its own against the wind on the highways so we tend to veer slightly. I do like the Ford Product I have owned several over the years and they have held up well.

I love the simple lines of this car and the roomy interior. It may technically be a compact, but I often find myself giving friends rides at school, and the back seat easily accommodates three adults. There is a hook-up for my audio jack, and the speakers have great sound. As far as performance goes, this car meets my needs and has taken me out of state to many events without out ever needing a major repair, during my past four years of ownership. The only real money I've put into it is a new set of tires. It is easy to keep clean, and the body is holding on well with just a little rust around the doors. Inside everything is still in good condition, and there is plenty of headroom for my tall figure. The light color material keeps the car pleasantly cool on sunny summer days. I love the feel of this car while I'm driving. It is very responsive for an older vehicle. The trunk is roomy, and gas mileage is great. I average 34 miles per gallon, and again, I think that is great for a vehicle that is 10 years old. I drive a lot, and I always feel safe in my car. The seatbelts hold me securely, but comfortably. It makes it easy to encourage passengers to buckle up. I strongly recommend this model to any other young person looking for a great first ride.
