Review
We purchased our Focus as a commuter but we use it so much more. We never buy 4 cylinders with automatic transmissions, but here it's perfectly mated. Steering is direct with good on center feel. The 2.3L PZEV engine is refined and responsive. It's quite roomy and the hatch lends SUV utility. At 40,000 miles, it has been totally reliable. It's solid, tight and remains an absolute pleasure to drive. Plus, the Audiophile in-dash 6CD stereo package is amazing in such an inexpensive car. It's also reasonably quiet, although better sound proofing could make this car nearly perfect. All in all, a dynamic, fun, surprisingly premium experience.

A great car, wonderfully flexible and spacious interior, never felt claustrophobic like other cars in its class that I looked at (like Corolla, Matrix, Scion, Civic, etc.). 28 mpg average city-and-highway driving, and I drive in New York City. Zippy handling, comfortable ride, a real pleasure to drive. Why anyone who wants a small car buys anything else is beyond me. This car is a great bargain and completely reliable.

I purchased my 2002 Focus used. It has
been an absolute pleasure. The
hatchback and split rear seat offers
great cargo storage. I have been able
to move all sorts of stuff. My
boyfriend is 6'4" and fits very well
into the car. People are usually
suprised about how roomy the inside is
for a small car, and ther comment
posativly on the design. Mine is a 5
speed and is a kick to drive. Peppy and
responsive.

The Ford Focus was purchased because it
looked like a "cute" car. Once we began
driving the Focus, we realized it was
more than just looks, it was small
enough to fit into those tight parking
spaces, yet has room inside for the
crowd. The trunk, well it's very
impressive, we could fit 2 baskets full
of groceries inside the trunk! It's so
fun to have this car, and I am sure
that you will agree.
