Used Ford Focus for Sale in Cedar Key, FL

Good gas mileage. I don't like how small it is. It is a really cute fun car to drive. I love the sunroof in cooler weather. I hate that it is white, but I love the dark tinted windows. I like that it's easy to park. We save so much on gas money when go on family trips. Many people dislike this brand of car, but I have enjoyed it for the most part. It has been a reliable car and durable car. I would greatly recommend this car to friends and family if it was a small family. Of course, I believe most Fords are safe and reliable compared to other car brands.

I bought this vehicle new in 2001. It is a compact econobox which has held up pretty well over the years. The car is fairly cheap to run and maintain, and repairs are reasonable both in terms of price and frequency. It has front wheel drive, which is very useful to me since I live in a rural area on a dirt road. I think that over the 14 years I have owned the car, I have repaired just about every part of the car except body work. The car is usually dirty but it is not the ugliest car on the road. I wanted a stick shift for economy reasons, so I actually paid extra fro that feature. My Ford is pretty plain, a four-door sedan with a minimum of extra features. It took me about 5 years to pay it off, so for the last 9 or so years I have had no car payments. One thing I really don't like about the car the amount of plastic parts, but I accept that a cheap car is going to use a lot of plastic. I do not have a deep emotional bond with my car. I try to treat it decently and hope it will do the same until I have enough money to buy another one. I have never had a life-threatening experience in my car, and generally it is reliable.

I purchased this car used in September of 2014 and loved it. However, as time has progressed, I have learned that these models have had several recalls and problems. Some of these problems are a problem with the door handles, transmission slipping, and power steering problems. Right now, the car is sitting in my garage undriveable because the power steering has gone out. This is a problem Ford is aware of and has not bothered to do a recall on. The repair will take around $2,500.00 with $1,100.00 of that amount being for parts. Transmission also occasionally slips.
