Being a Ford, I feel as though it's very reliable. It's small, easy to maneuver and has a great turning radius. My Focus is pretty good on gas and gets me from A to B reliably. Auto windows and locks come in handy and the car itself was reasonably priced! The only thing I dislike is the fact that a few little things have started to come undone. Some of the door materials have come unglued and the window and door locks sometimes pop down into the hole. I've had to change to Solenoids during my time with it for around $200 but that's not bad. Overall, it's a great little car for the price and I'd recommend one if I were talking about it. There are better cars but it's not even close to the worst, or even worst one that I've owned.

I love my current Focus almost as much as my last one! It gets great gas mileage and is very quiet and comfortable. It retains a bit of a sporty feel in its low profile and handling, which I enjoy. I have had very few mechanical issues outside of minor factory recalls that were handled quickly and professionally by Ford. I have always purchased the hatchback models and would recommend them to anyone for the additional space and ability to completely fold down the back row for additional storage.
