This 2007 ford Focus was purchased as a second car but ended up being used more then my truck. It gets great gas mileage and has enough room for me my wife and our two sons. It has a strong engine that has no problem cruising at 70 on the highway. There is a great factory installed sound system. The heated side view mirrors are great in winter. It has been driven 120,000 miles with only normal wear. It gets about 30 miles per gallon of gas. It would be nice if it had a utility outlet in the back seat for the boys to charge their phones on long trips. After 8 years of using, it is still a solid and dependable car.

I am in love with my Ford Focus. It's compact enough that I can park anywhere in my city living setting, but spacious enough for 5 passengers. The trunk is HUGE (perfect for my horse riding gear). The model I own is a stick shift, which was fun to learn and great on gas mileage. The car has 175k miles on it and still runs like a charm. The car also has cool features like volume increase with acceleration. The power of the engine is audible, the speakers are great sound quality, and everything under be hood is solid and American made.
