2010 Ford Focus - Great commuter car

This Ford Focus is a great commuter car. It isn't the kind of car to pack up and throw the kids in for a multi-day road trip or anything like that but, with good gas mileage, basic bells and whistles and comfortable seating the Ford Focus LX really is a practical and fun to drive car that comfortably fits four adults. I mainly use the car for commuting and driving around town. It is easy to park, fits nicely in smaller downtown parking spaces. My only negative comments would be that the sound insulation could be better as could be the upholstery quality. This is comfortable for being in for an hour or two but I don't think it would be very comfortable for long-haul driving. The brakes work well and it is generally low-maintenance. Overall, I would highly recommend the 2010 Ford Focus t... (more)

Story

My kids want to use it instead of our minivan because they think it looks "cooler."

Pros

Gas mileage, steering, braking, space, affordability really this is a great commuter car. I also see that it has fairly good resale value, and the maintenance costs seem to be relatively low for a vehicle of this car's make and age.

Cons

Sound insulation isn't great. Seats aren't comfortable after an hour or so. However, given that I purchased the car for a commuter car and not a primary family car, these cons aren't that consequential.

2005 Ford Focus - Ford Focus Review

The review I am writing about is for my 2005 Ford Focus. It's a hatchback car that I got when I was in college. It currently has a lot of miles as I've used it as a commuter car for the past 10+ years. I've taken it on drives from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back many times so being that it's more than 10 years old, it's likely in its last few years.

Story

Probably the road trips to the Bay Area or Las Vegas with friends.

Pros

My car is great on gas as the average MPG is 35. Because it's my main mode of transportation, I like that I can get around without having to fill up on gas often. Being a hatchback, I also like that I can fit a lot in my car if needed. Since having my car, I've had to move to different places and it's helped in moving fairly large items from place to place. It's also a unique car as I don't see too many Ford Focuses around. Lastly, the color is a unique orange.

Cons

Since I've had my car I've had some issues. Firstly, the car stereo had issues as the CD player ate my CDs and I had to take it to the dealer for a replacement. Five years later, I had an issue with the accelerator as the car would accelerate on its own. I, again, had to take it to the car dealership and had to get it repaired for a lot of money. Throughout time, the quality of the interior has been deteriorating as some of the fabric has been peeling, the paint on the buttons are chipping off, and the air vent doesn't work properly.
