Used Ford Focus for Sale in Bakersfield, CA

Comparing this to my 2012 Prius C, the Focus is absolutely one of the worst cars I have ever owned. Only one year apart and for about the same price- the Focus already shows signs of poor quality. There's a bunch of sun damage despite keeping it in the same environment as my Prius C...The sun damage is visible on the black accents outside of the vehicle, as well as on the dashboard. The steering wheel seems to be shedding (Don't ask- it's seriously shedding), and the power windows are having issues when rolling them up/down. They often get stuck, the car creaks, and sounds like it's about to physically fall apart. If you're looking for a car that will get you to 200k miles in it's lifetime- this isn't it.

While I did not go to the Ford dealership, even considering a Ford Focus as something that I might be interested in, I was surprised at how much I liked it. It's easy to maneuver, which is a plus. The interior has a nice and cozy feeling. I am really enjoying the Microsoft Sync feature that allows me to use voice commands to control things in my car. It doesn't always pick up on what I say the first time, but it isn't awful at all. For a smaller car, the trunk space is plenty. In fact, I was able to haul my medium-sized dining room table with the backseats folded down, which was impressive. Gas mileage is pretty good--I get around 23 MPG combined, which I'm mostly happy with. The gas tank is a little odd though, as there is no lid--all you need to do to fill the tank is open the little cover and put in the pump to fill up. It's convenient, but I worry about it sometimes. It's not the most spacious in the backseat, but that isn't a big deal for me right now. The Focus I have is the color, "racer red" and I think it's gorgeous. Very easy to find in parking lots, to boot! All in all, I'm happy with the car and hope that it stands up to the test of time.
