Used Ford Focus for Sale in Tacoma, WA

The 2014 Ford Focus is an exceptionally proficient vehicle for anyone looking for a basic sedan at an affordable price. The interior is roomy, comfortable, spacious, and stylish. The dashboard is easy to navigate and simple, a plus for anyone who likes a more minimalist user experience in driving. The technology included is very functional, including automatic windows and a great-sounding stereo system. In terms of the build and engine room of the vehicle, the Focus neatly balances style, size, and muscle in its package. The four cylinder engine provides a profound amount of horsepower and torque for the size of the car, a rare feature for the notoriously mediocre drivetrain Ford provides. The transmission is smooth, seamless, and responsive to acute changes in power output. To complement that, the car seems to have a low center of gravity and a wide distribution of street-to-wheel surface area contact, allowing the car to handle very well both at high speeds and in non-ideal conditions. The frame is sturdy and clearly built to last a long time. After a year of use, the Focus has not required any major repairs beyond oil changes. The trunk has plenty of space for luggage and storage. I transport large items such as bikes and musical instruments. I also particularly like how easy the car is to use and how compact it really is for its caliber of power and resiliency. One thing that I don't favor is the seemingly limited technical abilities the car provides. There is little in the ways of cool, innovative technology. For example the front seats adjust manually and the rear windows are crank-operated. Overall the 2014 Ford Focus is an excellent choice as an affordable entry-level ride for the easy commuter.

Overall I like the car, it has excellent gas mileage, handles quite well, and has enough room for what I use it for. The price I paid was good and the overall value is quite high. I opted for a two door version so I could control egress from the rear seat to better protect the children. There are a few things that I either do not like or that I feel could have been better designed. The body design is such that when glancing back from the driver's window to ascertain safe maneuvering distance, your vision is partially blocked by the upswing in the car's rear window threshold and the flare up of the body itself. It hampers visibility and is annoying. I also find it detrimental that the wipers do not have an adjustable delay function. Where I live there are often times when the wipers must be used but, at the factory setting, causes the wipers to squeak as the moisture content is low. Additionally the car heater seems to take longer to warm up the interior than other cars I have owned. Other these minor things, I really like my car and would buy another when the need arises.
