Overall, I like this car. Now the interior is pretty basic, and mine came with manual controls for the seats and windows. Nothing fancy on the dashboard, but really I don't need anything fancy. It performs well for a small car, having a little bit of pep to it. It gets good gas mileage on the highway, close to 40 miles per gallon. I use it for a lot of highway driving, and that is very good.

Overall this car has been dependable and the gas mileage is amazing. I bought this car used and wish I had gone with different make. I heard Fords were great until something went wrong and that sums up my experience with this vehicle. It has cost me a lot to repair and maintain this vehicle. I have had problems with the transmission and brakes. I previously owned a Saab which had over 300,000 miles on it when I sold it. I will be lucky to get 200,000 out of this Ford. My father is a mechanic and warned me not to buy this car, but at the time it was what was available in my price range. I had read mixed reviews on the Focus and decided to purchase due to the gas mileage. I drive 70 or more miles a day for my job and hate buying gas!
