I like the color scheme (black on black) of the car, as well as many of the interior aesthetics. The exterior aesthetics are okay, but have been better in previous and more recent models. The car drives exceptionally well for an economy car and has a manual transmission, which is great when I'm driving through the mountains.

We bought this car brand new because this was the car my daughter liked. It was between the Jetta and the focus. We decided to go American because it is very important to us to support out own economy. I am glad we went Ford again because this car has been great to our family. I love the economy of the car as well as the power. There has literally been limited maintenance as well. I would definitely recommend this car to my friends and family as well as purchase another newer model.
