I bought this car used as I do all of my vehicles. I've been very satisfied with it. It is roomy enough to accommodate the things I carry around and has a good mileage rating. It has proven to be reliable and has had no maintenance costs, other than routine upkeep, such as oil changes. It had very low mileage when I bought it, so I expect to get another five or six years of use out of it. This brings my cost for transportation down to only $500 a year.

I like my Focus because it is good on gas. It is easy to drive and doesn't take a lot of effort to get to where I'm going. It serves my purpose well in almost anything I have to do. It has been a go getter hardly ever letting me down. Even when I thought it was getting old enough to give up it keeps going. It is a good looking car for the price point. I felt like I got the quality that many others pay a lot more money for. I have had to do very few repairs and the majority were minor repairs I could do myself with out paying out so much to mechanics. When I did need a mechanic the replacement parts and labor wasn't too terribly bad. The ride is ok maybe not as good as a luxury car, but for the price it is acceptable. The interior is well laid out with everything easily accessible by the driver. The oil, transmission, windshield wiper fluids checks are all easy to get to and are easily identified. The wagon model is spacious with plenty of room. Some components wore out more quickly than I thought they should have but I think the terrain that I have driven it on may have led to the failure.
