Used Ford Focus for Sale in San Jose, CA

My 2010 Ford Focus was the first vehicle I ever purchased. I bought it used. I am satisfied with the gas mileage; I usually get about 26-28 mpg from regular, day-to-day driving. I frequently use this vehicle to drive from the San Francisco Bay area to the San Diego area, about a 500-mile trip and only have to refuel once. Although it isn't the fanciest or most luxurious vehicle, it is a comfortable ride and easy to maintain. After owning the vehicle for five years, I have never needed to take it in for any major repairs, only regular maintenance like tire rotations or oil changes. One thing I did have to replace was the set of tire pressure sensors. The ones that came with the vehicle from the factory have about a five-year battery life (as I was told by the shop technician), and it cost me about $250 to replace the sensors in all four tires. This car is easy to drive, handles well, and is also a good car to use for teaching new drivers how to drive. Although the trunk space could be a little bigger, it is just big enough to fit a couple of golf bags with full sets of clubs and a cooler for drinks.

Vehicle has nice exterior design and spacious interior for up to five persons. The interior quality is standard and deteriorating faster than it should. The trunk space is decent and fits plenty of items. The rear seat can be folded to fit large items into trunk of vehicle. When it comes to performance, the vehicle is considered more fuel efficient compared to vehicles from other manufacturers. The only thing the car lack is power during acceleration. The vehicle have tendency to make revving noise whilst accelerating. Unlike vehicles from other manufacturers, it takes much longer to accelerate to speed of 50 mph and tops at roughly 80 mph. Vehicle is fuel efficient but not someone that prefers driving at fast speeds.

I really do love my Ford Focus. We purchased a hatchback because it allowed us to lay the seat down to carry large objects. I went to the dealership not knowing what type of car I wanted. I couldn't afford a really expensive car, but was impressed when the salesperson shows us the Focus models. I loved the way the hatchback looked and the decision was quickly made to buy. We have driven our Focus since late 2005, and have really enjoyed it. It has more room than we ever expected, and we have used it to transport several fairly large pieces of furniture that we purchased on the spur of the moment. We drive across the US between New York State and California twice a year, because we have a dog and we have a home in both states. Our Focus has made 10 trips across, and we have never had a serious car problem. We are careful to have it checked before making a trip, but it has been really great to us. My husband has had two hip replacements and a knee replacement. The gas mileage on our long trips is pretty good, but does vary according to our speed. We keep records every time we purchase gas, and it varies between the mid 20's up to 33 miles per gallon. It gets the best mileage on flat highway at a speed of around 60 mph. It also drives nicely, and holds the curves well. It's really difficult to come up with a con. I guess the radio system could be a little better. Also, I would recommend purchasing a color other than black, which is what we purchased. The black is really hard to keep clean. When it is clean and shiny, we really love the sporty look it has.
