My car is amazing. It is the perfect fit for me. It drives smooth. Its fast when I need it to be. The engine is extremely quiet. It is reliable and has had no major issues. The auto-manual transmission took a bit to get used to and made strange noises until there was a recall and fix from the manufacturer. I love the hatchback look. Its very trendy. The interior is great as well. The seats are comfortable. The sound system is fantastic. Overall, this is a fantastic little sporty car.

I bought this Focus because it was affordable and was known for being reliable. So far, my experience with the car has been good. I've owned it for about a year and a half, and so far, have changed the notoriously bad motor mounts and sway bar links. Other repairs that will be needed in the future are the control arms, due to the bushings going bad. Car has 110,000 miles on it, and basic parts are starting to wear. Otherwise, it has been fairly cheap to maintain and reliable.
