The Focus is a wonderful car with a lot of room and great on gas. It's compact enough to get into any parking spot without any trouble.

The fuel economy is great. I remember the 2000, 2001 Focus as being not the best around. Boy it sure has grown up. The 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty is a plus. (I think that is only available in Florida though).

Never thought I would buy a FORD

2005 Ford Focus ZX4 ST 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

I was shopping for a car to replace my 2003 Chevy Cavalier. I wanted something sporty yet with good fuel economy. I was waiting for the new Chevy Cobalt to come out, wow what a disappointment. It was too small. The Ford Focus is so much bigger plus it had more to offer - power, fun to drive, better styling, and better performance all around. I like everything about my Focus ST; been happy with the car since I bought it. I recommend this car to anyone who wants performance, styling, and fuel economy all in one car.

Great car, don't complain about MPG.

Someone complained about getting 26 mpg in the ST? The window sticker on mine clearly stated 21city/32highway. It's a high torque, short geared engine. It's not going to sip gas. Please don't criticize a machine for doing EXACTLY what it said it would do at the time of purchase. Now, I traded a Mustang GT Convertible for this. New baby and all that. I couldn't be happier. Acceptable gas mileage (I also get around 26), great fun to drive quotient and excellent room.

I had an SUV, so the fuel economy is flat out great. For the price, the ST model looks good, has plenty of cool features and is fun to drive. Anyone looking for a low cost fuel, efficient and fun car shouldn't sleep on this.
