Used Ford Focus for Sale in Owensboro, KY

I have previously owned Ford cars and was intent on not purchasing another one when it came time for a new (pre-owned) vehicle. I looked at several different cars - Chevy Sonic was actually at the top of my list. I test drove 3 of them and had actually decided on the Chevy but it so happened that the dealer I was going to purchase the car from at the last minute (we were actually completing the paperwork!) decided he had agreed to sell me the car at a price that was to low. I left the dealership very upset and angry and continued my search for a vehicle. A friend of mine actually saw the Ford Focus for sell by a private owner. I almost didn't go look at it because I was that determined to NOT get another Ford, but since I was having such a hard time finding a vehicle in my price range I decided to take a look. I was VERY impressed with the looks of the car. It had everything and more than the Chevy that I was originally going to purchase. It drives very smoothly for a smaller car. It is great on gas which was a definite improvement on the previous Ford that I had just sold. I think the Focus is consider a compact car by Ford, but in all actuality it is very roomy and comfortable. The back seats also let down so if I have a large (or long) item that I need to fit in the trunk I do not have any issues doing so. I was a little worried when I first purchased the car thinking that I would probably have issues with it in no time but I am very happy to say that has not been the case. I have had it for approximately 1 1/2 years now and it has been one of the best cars I have ever owned and since I am 57 years old, that has been quite a few! I have put approximately 30,000 miles on it - I have taken it on 3 very long vacations and have been very pleased with the performance of the car. I have taken 2 of my daughters, my granddaughter, and her friend on one vacation that I really was not looking forward to because I thought there would be problems with 3 teenagers in the backseat (being crowded) but they really had enough room that there were no complaints. I am fairly tall and I have to push the driver's seat back probably a little further than the average size woman but they still had enough leg room in the back seats that it was not an issue. I absolutely love my Ford Focus and am truly happy that the dealer at the Chevy dealership tried to raise the price of his car on me! I purchased the Ford for almost half of what the Chevy dealer wanted for the Sonic and when I test drove that car it had no where NEAR the power and smoothness of the Ford!

The Toyota is wonderful. Maintenance and repairs are a dream because it seldom needs them! I find it quite comfortable, but I am short...It is not a car for big men. It works in a limited way 'off road' on ill maintained gravel roads and grassy areas such as campgrounds. The trunk space is beyond adequate. It has issues in the 'get up and go' department, which should be kept in mind for those who like to dash out in traffic or race up steep inclines - it's most definitely not the car for that. The gas mileage was superior in the 90s and adequate now. Very easy to maneuver in and out of traffic, and exceptionally easy to park given its compact size. The brakes are standard and work fine. The tires are an odd size so may have to be ordered in on occasion. I find it very comfortable to drive given how low it sits, it doesn't stress the lower back; but again, this is a car for a smaller adult and not a large man. I feel perfectly in control driving my little car and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to a girlfriend or buying another one.
