2014 Ford Focus - Always Loved Ford

I have had a couple different Fords over time, as have my family. They are good cars and have always been built great. This time, the transmission was recalled and it was a very big hassle. I know that if it weren't for that, I would have nothing but positive things to say about Fords. The best thing about them is that they are reliable. I'm a pretty simple person and don't require too much in a car and Ford is great for that. Not too complicated, easy to understand. My favorite thing about it is the sync feature with my phone. It helps with my drive by not having to play around with my phone too much. I have an hour commute to work one way so I need something reliable and I have always felt I had that in a ford. I also appreciate that it is an American made car. I would lik... (more)

Story

a fun story with the car was bringing my kids and their cousins in the car to go to a playground and they all squished in yet were still comfy and we drove with the windows down and they were all singing to music and they really had a great time.

Pros

Built great, reliable, love the sync feature with my phone

Cons

Recall on the transmission, wish adjusting the seats was a little easier, would like more room in the backseat.

2001 Ford Focus - Reliable Daily Driver

I just ticked over 194,000 miles on my '01 focus and the little thing is still running strong. Overall it is cheap reliable transportation. Emphasis on cheap. I have had to repair very few things over the years, but she is holding on by a thread. The coolant system is duct taped together and I burn antifreeze. If I get stuck in traffic it can overheat. The little engine could use a lot more power. The suspension makes me scared to turn when it's wet outside. The interior is as cheap and basic as can be. The back windows don't roll down and the front driver's window had to be put back on its track. The trunk pop button stopped working so the only way into the trunk is with the key or key fob.

Story

There is a little winding road nearby that on a nice day I like to use to put the little car through its paces. The best part is when I go through a small tunnel and rev the engine so the echo sounds like a race car.

Pros

The engine is rock solid. All I've had to do is scheduled maintenance and she keeps ticking! She is small and light and a joy to toss around as long as it's dry out. Gas mileage is great as well. Lots of headroom.

Cons

Build quality is lacking. Stuff just keeps breaking after normal use that should last much longer. She is a 5 speed and the gear ratios are too close together meaning lots of shifting in city traffic. The engine needs more power.
