2010 Ford Focus SES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

This is our 3rd Focus. We bought 2 2002 Focuses and both are still on the road with 200,000+ miles each. Husband is still driving his and I passed mine on to our son and bought the 2010 and I love it. I researched and drove tons of cars and this was by far the best. The Synch is great, the shifting has improved over the 2002 model and it is just a fun car to drive. Drove 600 miles in one day to pick daughter up from college and mileage was over 40 mpg. Only minor problem is lights are dim and set too low. I've been driving with the brights on at night and no one flashes me. If this car gives us the same quality of the 2002 model, we will be thrilled.

Favorite Features

Synch, ease of shifting, fun to drive, tons of trunk space

Suggested Improvements

Brighter lights

2010 Ford Focus SES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Bought it a few weeks ago. I am happy with it. There are a few things missing that I didn't think about when buying. The inside top of trunk is exposed (the inside, not the door). Most cars that I have driven have a foot rest for your left foot in an automatic. When the driver's door is open and the key is in the ignition, and you lock the doors using the automatic locks, they all lock then unlock shortly after (rather than just ignoring it).

Favorite Features

Sync is cool. The services function is cheasy, I'm glad it is free for 3 years, but I wouldn't pay for it. I like that that keyless entry is not built into the key.

Suggested Improvements

Build GPS into sync, it doesn't work well needed to call back in every time it thinks you leave the route.

Economy car?Not really!

2010 Ford Focus SES 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I've had to step down from a Lexus IS to a lower priced car. Naturally I was worried about quality and reliability. After a bunch of research I decided to go with the 2010 SES Coupe with remote start and moon and tune package. The car handles very well and the power is surprisingly adequate. Gas milage is pretty good but so was the Lexus'. The interior is very nice for an economy car but it feels much more expensive if you get the sync package. Sync works incredible well and it does take a little while to figure all the commands out. The moon and tune package adds a sub which shakes the trunk pretty good but its no Lexus sound system. All in all a great car and no regrets!

Nice Fun Quality Ride/ Good Dash Layout

2010 Ford Focus SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

We took the car 200 miles each way to the beach and it was a very comfortable and quality ride. The highway MPG was over 36. Back home, the ride, pickup and handling all felt great. The gas mileage is about 24.5 around town. It's a fun car to drive. Our dog loves when the back seats are down since she can ride in the trunk like a roomy doghouse. Everybody loves the car.

Favorite Features

Fun and quality ride, nice upper dash display of radio station playing, exterior temperature and other information.

Suggested Improvements

Dashboard materials could be given a richer look.
