I am not happy with this car, and I often tell people I wish I could sell it and move on. Since buying it in 2014, I have had multiple issues and have had parts changed out quite a few times. My dealership didn't even tell me that my car came with remote start - but that's on them. The car shakes/vibrates a lot (with no fix), and sometimes feels like the tires are bouncy/shaky. The undercarriage is rusting, just like our previous Ford Focus did. The "get up and go" of this car is not impressive, and it is not too great in the snow, but it is a step up from the Honda Civic coupe I had before. I will be saving up and buying a Subaru next time. The car seems to hesitate a lot on hills, and during the winter months in Ohio I got stuck a few times and slid around a lot. Just not satisfied and wish I had shopped around a lot more.

I live with my adult son and daughter and do most of the driving because my son drives a company vehicle. We needed a car I was comfortable driving and that he would also like. I also wanted to be able to haul small furniture pieces from estate sales. We had a modest budget but wanted a dependable vehicle. The Ford Focus Hatchback was a perfect fit for us. It is actually a very sporty looking car for son's taste and a nice comfortable size for my tastes. The hatchback is really impressive considering the Focus is a smaller car. The seat bottoms in the back seat easily lift up and the seat backs flip down, making a completely flat surface from the front seat backs all the way to the tail gate! It's an amazing lot of hauling space for a small car. I easily fit 8 patio sling type chairs in the Focus. The 2016 Focus comes in 4 trim levels. The is the one level from the bottom but has a back-up camera, Bluetooth, and is Sirius Radio ready. There is also a handy onboard computer on the dashboard for keeping track of mileage, fuel, trips, etc. The Focus Hatchback definitely has the feel of a small SUV when you're inside. I would highly recommend this car.
