2013 Ford Focus - Great Car

The Titanium version of this car has exceeded my expectations. I love the comfort features and the get-up-and-go of the engine, while still getting 30+ MPG

Story

I love the versatility of the car. I put the seats down one day and I carried 8 bags of sand in the back. I have also carried two dogs, various lengths of lumber, and my soccer mom gear! Throw on a roof rack and you have a traveling machine!

Pros

The climate controls knobs are made so when you are driving the adjustments go the same way (turn right for driver, turn right for passenger). It may seem like a small thing but the designers thought of a lot of small things. The leather seats are nice because I have children and they are messy. The automatic up & down for all of the windows is another great feature. The controls on the steering wheel are nice also. I like the dash information center, it gives you plenty of options and shows the exterior lights for the vehicle. The MPG and trip odometers are good for keeping track of servi... (more)

Cons

The voice commands for the Sync system work fairly well. Sometimes it won't get the information correct, but will on a second attempt. Or not at all. I wish it read text messages from my iPhone. There have been two recalls for transmission issues. The floor mats have already needed replacing. The sun visors do not extend. That may seem like a small thing, but it can make driving harder than necessary. I understand Ford changed to extendable visors after 2013, but that didn't help me.

2010 Ford Focus - A car to get you from A to B

The car has relatively low quality materials in the interior with hard plastics everywhere, which easily scratch leaving unsightly marks on the interior of the car. In terms of reliability, it's a pretty reliable vehicle, which has not broken down over the 85,000 miles currently on it. In terms of styling, it's not a bad looking car, but it isn't going to wow anyone on the street. The seats are relatively comfortable although the cloth interior has a tendency to get dirty quite quickly, especially for the lighter colored fabrics. The cabin is a bit noisy and allows a significant amount of road noise to penetrate into the cabin, which is noticeable at highway speeds but not so much of an issue when commuting in town at lower speeds.

Story

I remember driving up to Kings Dominion with my family in the car, and we played games along the ride up to pass the time. With the roll up windows, the kids enjoyed played with the levers.

Pros

The stereo system in the car is very good with deep bass and clear highs, which is quite nice. It tends to be reliable and relatively cheap to fuel up. It gets around 360 miles on a full tank, which is around ~30 miles/gallon, which works out well for commuting back and forth to work.

Cons

The car lacks most basic amenities such as power windows and is lackluster in terms of performance such as a slow 0-60 and wide turning radius. It's not a particularly stylish vehicle and isn't going to wow anyone looking at it. The driving experience is not very refined as the steering is mushy and lacks much tactile response.
