Review

This car is very fun to drive. With the 5 speed manual transmission it makes it very fun, and it also can hold its own for speed. I am very happy with the car. The build is more lower scale trim, but, you get what you pay for. And for the money, it's a very good car with all the options.

Review

Best car buying experience I have ever had, no contest. Salesman and dealer were superb. The car is fabulous. Compared to my wife's Scion, this car cost the same and is much, ,more. No comparison. And the Scion is a nice car. Generous factory rebate of $2500. I bought my beautiful light blue Focus hatchback for less than $12,000. No money out of pocket. Car is fun and sportscar like. Ford is stupidly dropping the hatchback. Go get one while you can!

Favorite Features

Tight feel, sporty ride. Fun to drive. Beautiful exterior styling. Best car available for the money.

Suggested Improvements

Rear seat rests and cruise control would be nice.

Revised Focus

2007 Ford Focus ZX3 SE 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

After a trying three years of ownership with an 02 Focus, I decided to give it another go with an 07. I've had the car for a day so far. Performance is good, comfort is good, a very good value for the money. Long range reliability isn't promising, so get an extended warranty that covers more than powertrain - you won't regret it. My 02 was great until it 50k - it was all downhill for the last 22k miles of ownership with that car. With the 07's, the SE and SES are the best values if you want A/C.

Favorite Features

Sport utility versatility with that sports car feel with econobox fuel economy. May not be the most reliable, but a good value.

Suggested Improvements

Bring back the fog lamps, alloy wheels, leather wrapped steering wheel, and tachometer that were standard in all ZX3's from 00-04.

new 2007 Ford Focus

2007 Ford Focus ZX4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Just got this car in the past few days as a replacement for another vehicle. I have found that this cars basic features are better than the same type cars in its class and I have no problems with this car so far. I did a great deal of research on this car and liked the MPG and the way it handles on the road. I have the added features of cruise control and side air bags that my last 2007 vehicle did not have plus that same gas savings even with the added horse power. Not as costly as a Toyota in the same class and is a better car than the 2007 Yaris that I had to replace. I would highly recommend this car for anyone looking for a fun way to get from here to there with good dependability.

Favorite Features

Interior space throughout and the rear seat pulls up with the seat backs laying down flat. Great SE features. Great safety features that will protect from bad drivers. Great Ford service and incentives.

Suggested Improvements

None so far.

Where is the MPG

Written by: Ted Davis on 03/06/2007

Vehicle

2007 Ford Focus ZXW SES 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I drive highway to and from work every day about 80 miles round trip. I used to have a Cavalier that got 32 mpg and the Focus is only getting 29. I wish I had my Cavalier with 100,000 miles back.

Favorite Features

The seats are nice and stiff and there is a lot of head room.

Suggested Improvements

More MPG other cars in this group do MUCH better. I have also heard a whistle out of the heater when turned on high.

2007 Ford Focus ZX3 S 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Well right after my first review, the gas mileage took a nose dive down to the low 20's. Ford won't address this issue until 10,000 miles. Still fun to drive though. I had a squeak too, dealer said it was a something to do with the parking brake sleeve?

Favorite Features

The 2 tone interior gives it a nice sporty look. Trunk/hatch holds a lot more than I thought it would.

Suggested Improvements

Better visors, very very cheaply made and the doors sound a little too hollow.

New Purchase

2007 Ford Focus ZX4 SES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

We use the vehicle for daily transportation to work and routines. It handles well, the options make the car look very nice and it has comfortable leg room for driving long distances. The dash board controls are well organized and easily accessible. Cup placements could be repositioned for easier access and use.

Favorite Features

Sony 6CD AM/FM make the car more comfortable for daily use. I was surprised at the good handling in curves and turns. Exterior design and features of the SES give it a very good look.

Suggested Improvements

It would be nice if the steering column controls for the radio and cruise control were lite for night time driving access.

So far so good

2007 Ford Focus ZX3 SES 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

3 months, 4500 miles so far. Mileage is 32 highway with cruise control at 75 mph, 26 around town. Far better than my old Ranger, but less than EPA unrealistic estimates. No mechanical troubles or noises. Plenty of room in rear seat for most people. Handles very well around corners, much better than anything else I've owned. Pirelli P6 tires are quiet, but track pavement grooves. Acceleration is good for this size car, low end torque is also good. Go through the gears and be in 5th by 40 mph. Brakes good. I have the safety package with side seat airbags, haven't been able to find seat covers that don't interfere with airbags. Sun visors are wimpy and look too cheap. Overall very pleased.

Favorite Features

MPG, cruise control, quiet, power windows, simple accessible engine, handling around corners.

Suggested Improvements

Upgrade sun visors for better coverage, aftermarket items like air bag friendly seat covers and wheel splash guards.
