Used Ford Focus for Sale in Bellevue, WA

This is a very reliable car. It requires very little maintenance. It gets great gas mileage. I haven't had any expensive repairs in the seven years I've owned it. Other than oil changes, a tune up and a new battery, I haven't had to spend money on this car. It runs smoothly and is quiet, even on the freeway. The exterior paint finish still looks new. It cleans easily and stays glossy. It doesn't look 12 years old. The chassis is nice and not rusty.

Overall I like the car, it has excellent gas mileage, handles quite well, and has enough room for what I use it for. The price I paid was good and the overall value is quite high. I opted for a two door version so I could control egress from the rear seat to better protect the children. There are a few things that I either do not like or that I feel could have been better designed. The body design is such that when glancing back from the driver's window to ascertain safe maneuvering distance, your vision is partially blocked by the upswing in the car's rear window threshold and the flare up of the body itself. It hampers visibility and is annoying. I also find it detrimental that the wipers do not have an adjustable delay function. Where I live there are often times when the wipers must be used but, at the factory setting, causes the wipers to squeak as the moisture content is low. Additionally the car heater seems to take longer to warm up the interior than other cars I have owned. Other these minor things, I really like my car and would buy another when the need arises.
