Used Ford Focus for Sale in Binghamton, NY

I live in New York City and need something that I can get around with and not have to worry too much about if I have to leave it for a few days. Or worry if I get a dent. I need something reliable and not fancy, something that gets the job done. This car does that and works fine for me. It would be nice to have a bit more room or a bigger trunk because I'm a musician, but overall this car is fine for someone like me who needs a reliable four door car that I can use a few times a week.

I bought this certified used from a dealer in Western New York. The car itself is not huge, but the acceleration is good. I enjoy driving it very much. The package I bought had heated seats which are a godsend in the winter. With all season tires, I have had no problems at all with it. There is one small design issue that I did not catch when I bought it and one software oddity that annoys me. There are only a few cons for this year’s model. First, the Sync system is clunky and not easy to navigate (even with my iPhone 6). It does not connect properly, and when the automated voice finally acknowledges that you are connected, it sounds garbled. I asked one of my students who had the same car if she had that same weird voice glitch and she said yes. Second, the rear seats do not fold down to make more room in the back for cargo. This is an easy fix but quite annoying if you are used to a vehicle with more storage space. Overall it’s a decent buy for the money due to the zippy fun factor, but in practical terms it needs at least two upgrades to graduate to a very good buy.
