My favorite thing about my 2014 Ford Focus SE is that is an excellent commuter car- it gets great mileage at about 37 miles-per-gallon (freeway). While I was working, I used this car for my two-hour commute, and never had any issues in rain, or even inches of snow. In other cars I've driven, driving in the rain or snow was always a very stressful thing to do, but in my Ford Focus, this little car - a car that isn't even particularly designed to drive in snow well - held it's own and kept me safe.
