Used 2006 Ford Focus Consumer Reviews
Great car....for the price
This is a great car...for the price. If it cost as much some competitors I'd have trouble recommending it, but you get a LOT for the money here with rebates etc. The ride and handling combination is very good for the class. I like the 5 door hatchback...it is more practical than the 3 door but sportier than the sedan. There is plenty of room up front. I'm 6'4" and have no problem fitting. I'm getting around 33 mpg overall with the manual transmission and I read they improved mileage for 2007.
Solid car that holds it own.
I looked at all the favorites from Toyota, Honda, Mazda etc. and found that this little car was the best deal for the money. There is no way the other manufactures could compete with the price considering all that comes on this vehicle (SES), not to mention Ford rebates and incentives. This car is fun to drive, handles good, accelerates on a dime, and is good for long commutes. I am discouraged about the insurance though, a little high because of a high symbol rating. Will be interested to see how good the gas mileage really is. Overall though I like this car. Good buy.

Great Car
I have several types of vehicles in the past, but have found the Ford Focus 2006 is the best I have owed so far.
Great for school parking lots
I bought my car with with 54k miles on in February 09 and I drive it to school everyday, I love how it just turns easily and can fit into small spaces that big vehicles cant. Great first time car.
fun
The suspension is tight, and with the five speed it is very nice in traffic. Now you're not going to beat a hemi but if you're on the stick you're going to jump ahead of those not paying attention. As far as size, it is not for large people, but fits me with room.
