Overall, this is a great car. I love the size and how easy it is to maneuver. Though it is compact, there is still plenty of space on the interior of the vehicle. I have been in multiple not-at-fault accidents with this car and have never been injured. Though the car can sustain considerable damage, the impact to me was minimal. I am especially impressed with this vehicle's fuel economy. The car now has close to 45k miles on it and is still going strong. There have been a couple issues under warranty and some safety recalls. The dealership has always been helpful.

This is the second 2011 Ford Focus I have owned. I chose this vehicle originally because it had a good reputation. It has lived up to that reputation. It is reliable and safe. When in an accident (as I have unfortunately found out), it locks up so the car can no longer spin around the road. The airbags work very well, and one of these cars saved my life. I have put a lot of mileage on my second one, and it still performs as well as I did when I got it. It does not require specialty repairs or a particular mechanic, which is good for my budget. I also really enjoy driving it. I spend a lot of time in my car, and I need to be comfortable. ItÕs very responsive and maneuverable, allowing me to navigate difficult traffic and bad weather without worry. It does not have a lot of bells and whistles, which I particularly wanted because I do not like distraction while I am driving.
