2011 Ford Focus - Pleased and satisfied

I travel a lot, so gas mileage is important. In this Ford I'm typically averaging between 36 and 37 miles per gallon. This past summer I drove from Pennsylvania to British Columbia -- over the course of the summer putting 9,000 miles on the vehicle -- and the gas mileage was never under 36 mpg.

Story

My favorite experience so far with this vehicle was going from Indiana to British Columbia. We spent time specifically in Montana, and I enjoyed driving it both through the flatlands and mountains. Coming through Montana, we were in a terrible hailstorm (1.5-inch diameter hail), and I was sure the car would be ruined. But I did not find one dent afterward.

Pros

It is a small car, making it easy to maneuver and park. The interior is comfortable since I usually am driving by myself, but it would not be big enough to transport a family. I have a small one-car garage, so the car fits well. So far it has been reliable, but I've only had it four months.

Cons

Originally this car did not have a cruise control installed when I bought it used. (I can't imagine who had put 40,000 miles on a vehicle without a cruise control.) I had to pay to have an aftermarket cruise control installed. It also does not have power windows; I feel a little retrograde to manually roll down the windows.

2006 Ford Focus - 2006 Ford Focus

The 2006 Ford Focus that we purchased in 2010 has ran well and we have not had any major mechanical issues with it. Other than routine oil changes and tire rotations not a lot has been done to it mechanically. The car itself has only had issues with the A/C in which case the hose had developed a hole and needed to be repaired and refilled with Freon. So it has been a reliable car. It lacks any real power which in return gives it great gas mileage around 31 highway and a bit lower in the city but still great. The only real cons I have experienced with it is the lack of cargo room and space for passengers. It doesn't really set 4 comfortably especially if anyone of them are tall and 5 people is terrible. The trunk is also smaller than what I would like. It can get groceries ok but what u... (more)

Story

We drove our Ford Focus to Florida and back about 35 hours worth of traveling and it handled the task great. Just make sure the fluids are topped off and the oil is fresh and go on a road trip with this car.

Pros

Great gas mileage and smooth handling. The car is surprisingly good at handling snowy or icy conditions. I believe a lot of that has to do with its narrow tires and the fact that it can cut through the snow.

Cons

Not a lot of cargo space or passenger space. It is a compact car so that is to be expected but it still seems small even by those standards.
