My Focus is easy to drive, it's powerful (I also own a Mustang but sometimes I am quicker with the Focus) and it's built very reliably. I had no issues whatsover and I drive it in any kind of weather and circumstance.

I love this car. Traded in my Sport Trac to get something easier on gas. I love the way it drives and for a 4 cylinder, has great acceleration...more than I had expected! It's fun to drive.

I bought this car in 09, great millage, and is manual so you can choose as you go if you want fuel economy or a bit of go. it's also handy to get through the Fargo winters. but when they don't plow you do need a bit of Focus ;)

Yes it's small. But it has a pretty decent amount of interior space for its size. SES package gives you the controls on the steering wheel, which is nice. As for comfort, it is perfect for my wife (5'3") but not at all comfortable for me (6'5"). Engine is not very powerful, but it's only noticeable when the car is really loaded down. MPG is heavily dependent on how you drive it. No mechanical problems after 4+ years, just one long-term rattle underneath that the mechanics have not been to locate. Antenna base got water in it and therefore some corrosion, and now radio reception is horrible.

Bought my 2006 ford focus zx3 a yr ago from another private owner. It's a cute lil car. If I could keep it running long enough I could love it. First thing i had to repair was the wheel bearings and front axle. The last week I've noticed the clutch is going out. I priced the cost of that repair and according to Google that will cost me btwn $700‐$900. Today I closed my drivers side door like i do everyday and my window shattered in a million pieces. The other weird thing with this car is that there is a loud annoying vibration coming from the motor and vibrating the entire car while motor is running and when driving. I have a feeling the motor mount(s) are needing replaced and possibly broken and could quite possibly be causing other bolts and screws and parts in the engine to become undone or loose and causing me lil annoying problems that will get bigger and more expensive in the near future. I'm gonna have to take it in to be checked out. My water dummy light is on constantly even though it isnt overheating at all and all water and oil levels are good. The radio does this really annoying thing too. It will stop playing music and flash the word "protect" across the screen until I have to take apart the heater vents and adjust the wires going to the speakers. Lastly, a few other nuisances with this car is the seatbelts are very inconveniently placed so far back behind the front seats they are impossible to reach. Also the sun visors are equipped with those fake mirrors like the ones in fun houses at the fair's and theres no light on them. The manual window handles are manufactured backwards as are the outside locks on the door handles. The hood latch is jankyee too. The front seats do not go forward far enough for an adult to get into the backseat very easily and God only knows how a mother with a small infant in a carseat would get the baby and carseat out of the back when the seats do not go forward far enough. This entire car is falling apart. I've put alot of money into this car and theres still tons I have to fix. Now I know why the ladt owners sold it. I wonder what all they fixed on the car b4 I got it. I'm about ready to sell it as is and buy me another lexus. Im about done with ford focus zx3's.
