I purchased my Ford Focus as a work car. I knew it would be good on gas and I drive 45 minutes to and from work. I soon named it Flash because it has such good get up and go. This car became not only a work car but also a family car. We use it often on trips and for just general running around. It has needed very few improvements and I make sure it stays on a maintence schedule. It is now 9 yrs old and is still performing very well. We recently took a trip to Columbus , OH. Flash got 25 to 28 miles per gallon. The trunk held everything we needed plus a few things bought along the way. Four people were seated comfortably. Our next adventure was to Camdem Park in Huntington, WV with three 8 year olds. The Ford Focus is a solid investment as a work car or for family trips. It may not be the most comfortable but the economical benefits out weigh everything. I would recommend a Focus to everyone.

This vehicle was very fun to drive. It was almost like a giant go-kart in how it handled, and the seats were very comfortable, even for a tall person.
