Used Ford Focus for Sale in Detroit, MI

My car has nearly 50,000 miles on it of which I have put on over half in about a years time, and it has been very durable and practical with no maintenance needed during this stretch. The fuel economy is exceptional for a car that is nearly 10 years old. I drive about 50/50 highway versus city miles and average about 30 miles per gallon. The comfort is definitely somewhat of a downside, there is not much leg room in the back for passengers, and if the front seat is scooted forward, it can become crammed very quickly. The stereo has been a problem in very cold temperatures, as sometimes it will not turn on if the car is too cold. The acceleration is also not stellar. I find myself not being able to accelerate as quickly as most of the cars on the road. The car's shorter length is a plus in crowded city parallel parking situations.

Little work needed to maintain through the years. I'm an avid off-road explorer, and even though it's a small vehicle, she's been on several two tracks and handled herself just fine while we explore new places. I've loved owning the Focus. Her acceleration is excellent. Her engine and mechanics hold up well. The interior is comfortable and surprisingly spacious for a small four-door vehicle. I have three kids and they all fit in the backseat. We also use it for grocery shopping and for family camping trips and the trunk space is absolutely immense. The only recurring issue is that we replace tires fairly often but that may be because we live in Michigan, pot hole capital of the world. It takes regular maintenance like a champ and has only ever needed major maintenance following a deer accident. The Focus has been with me since late 2011, bought when it was just barely used. It's been through numerous relationships, moves and lifestyle changes. It's taken me up north, to the beach and to soccer games. Its reliability is astounding.

At first I was worried to buy it because of things I heard about it. I decided to buy it anyway, because it was pretty cheap. I loved it as soon as I drove it. It handles well and is great on gas. I have had it about a year, and the only thing I had to do to it was replace the tires. I bought it at 35k miles, and now I'm at 50k miles, and have not had to do anything special to it expect change the oil. But overall, I would recommended to friends and family. I am also thinking about buying a newer model of the same car.
