Review
This is a really nice small car. Four adults can be
carried comfortably with plenty of room in the
hatch. It has a rather tight "European" type
suspension that handles great with the 16" Pirelli
tires. Just a bit harsh on chuckholes, but a very
good ride most of the time. Gas mileage has been
as predicted on the window sticker at 26 city/
automatic. Since our temperature averages about
40 degrees (F) in November the milage has lowered
to more like 22 or 24 city. Still very good! Lots of
power and pick up. A joy to drive. The 6 disc CD
player is of better than average quality. My Alpine
in the other car outperforms it, but not by that
much.

from my first shift in this car I have
disliked the clutch (alot).This car is
not ment for any serious preformance
driving but is fun to drive around
town.The gas mileage has not been what
was listed on the sticker or what I
had hoped for.I do receive lots of
compliments on the new styling
(compared to the old focus) and the
front/center mounted antena is
very "euro".Should have bought a Honda
but i have never seen a civc rally car!

I love this little car. I drive alot
for work and I needed something that
was easiy on gas but could hold its own
in fast moving traffic. I had never
owned a ford before.(actually I'm the
first one in my entire family to buy
one) So I was a little nervous when I
bought this car. But I would recommend
this car to anyone.

Just bought this car about 3 weeks ago.
I spent waaaaaaay too much time
researching cars. I was between an '04
Civic, a used Ranger, and an '05 Focus.
This car is my first car and it's
perfect. It drives wonderful, gets
great mileage, and looks nice and I
love Ford. The bang for your buck on
this car is fantastic. I ended up
getting this for just a tad more than a
powerless Hyundai Accent I test drove.
(If you are REALLY on a budget and
don't mind not having anything under
the hood, I guess I could suggest
that). Overall, I love the car and so
far, it's done everything I've wanted
it to do and with regular maintenance,
I expect the same.

Review
If you want high gas mileage, lots of
space, decent quality and a reasonable
price, there's nothing like a focus
wagon. Fully decked out it's selling
for under $19K TMV. Materials are
really nice and it rides well. The four
cylinder has pep, gets a bit noisy if
you push it. Everything inside feels
comfy and there's tons of space.

Review
Just picked mine up after test driving
a few cars. It's nice for the money
as all of the desirable options are
built into it.
Nice engine and good handling - but
it's still a small economical car that
has been tweaked to be something that
it may not be. I do like the looks
and throaty sound of the engine.
Interior is very nice looking. Stereo
with steering wheel controls are
nice. AC cools quickly.
Still has some of the
cheap "Fordisms", but with all the
options, a better deal than a
Jetta...So I got it.

I have enjoyed my new Focus. At first
when my friends ask me, " Man what did
you get." I replyed sheepishly FOCUS.
But once they drove it or even caught a
glimpse of all the gear it came with
like the power sun roof and 6 mp3 in
dash player, Everyone has agreed this
was a smart purchase.

I am so happy I bought this car. It
handles so well and feels like you're
riding on air. Whie I was skeptical
about having leather seats, I was
plesantly surprised to find they are so
soft and comfortable. I wish someone
would pay me to just drive my Focus all
day, then I'd be even happier!
Everyone should get this amazing
automobile!!!

I researched on the internet and then
set out to drive the top 4 (Corolla,
Civic, Mazda3, and Focus). After some
unpleasant experiences with my 2000
Focus I really didn't expect to buy
another Ford. I could not believe the
improvements in the 2005! It was much
more comfortable and fun to drive than
any of the others. The power is great,
mileage over 30mpg, looks good, and
the price with all the "standard"
options beat the others- hands down!
Love to drive (and my friends love to
ride) in my sporty new Focus!
