The Focus is a good gas mileage car for work or long travel. The seats are adjustable in numerous ways and provide lumbar support which is nice on longer drives. Each focus I have owned has had a large trunk space for being a coupe. All around a balanced vehicle for everyday driving. One thing I do not enjoy about the 2007 model is the size/shape of the center console. The center console is VERY small and is more a nuisance than a convenience. Also the center console is mounted on a very weak hinge that allows you to put it upright. The hinge broke within one month of owning the vehicle(I always rest my arm on the center console while driving). The car did not come standard with cruise control but I do mostly city driving so that was not a huge issue. I bought the car just before we had our first child and I found out that it was equipped with U-Links that you can strap a car seat down with instead of just the seat belt. The car seat was much more secure with the links than with just a seat belt.

I bought my car used with only 110,000 miles on it and I love it! It drives great, is quiet, gets great gas mileage, and is easy and cheap to fix. When we bought it we only needed an oil change and an alignment to get it running perfectly! I drive this car everyday to work and when I'm not at work my husband drives it back and forth to school and we love it. I would recommend a Ford Focus to anyone.
