Used Ford Focus for Sale in Rochester, NY

The car overall is a great car for someone who likes compact vehicles. The gas mileage on the car is great. I can get a full tank with 350 miles for $25. The interior is nice; however, I wish the car was a little bigger because its very hard to fit people in the back seat. The trunk is a great size. The seats are fabric and heated. I have had no problems with the stereo, and it connects via Bluetooth to my phone. After 40,000 miles, the car constantly shudders when I come to a full stop and then accelerate. I'm constantly getting that same issue fixed.

I bought this certified used from a dealer in Western New York. The car itself is not huge, but the acceleration is good. I enjoy driving it very much. The package I bought had heated seats which are a godsend in the winter. With all season tires, I have had no problems at all with it. There is one small design issue that I did not catch when I bought it and one software oddity that annoys me. There are only a few cons for this year’s model. First, the Sync system is clunky and not easy to navigate (even with my iPhone 6). It does not connect properly, and when the automated voice finally acknowledges that you are connected, it sounds garbled. I asked one of my students who had the same car if she had that same weird voice glitch and she said yes. Second, the rear seats do not fold down to make more room in the back for cargo. This is an easy fix but quite annoying if you are used to a vehicle with more storage space. Overall it’s a decent buy for the money due to the zippy fun factor, but in practical terms it needs at least two upgrades to graduate to a very good buy.
