Good Car For The Money
I find the Focus wagon to be just about the right size for all my needs. It can carry 5 passengers, though the back seat might be a little cramped for large people. With the back seat folded down, it can carry a surprisely big load. It handles nicely in all traffic situations. It has plenty of get-up and go. Merging into expressway traffic is no problem at all. At highway speeds (I tend to have a heavy foot) I average about 32mpg.
SUV replacement
With the ST 2.3 liter getting 26 m.p.g. city/some hwy. Very good performance. I think interior is very good. Has lots of extras for comfort. Compared to my stolen Jeep Liberty, it drives like a sports car. Stick shift is easy, saves gas,weight, and mechanical complexity.

In for the long term
Bought this car in 2011 used with 106,000 miles on it. lasted 7 years without needing repairs. now at 8 years I've gone through and replaced the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs and boots, recharged AC, Fuel filter change, brakes, rotors and new tires (Yes i drove on the same brakes and tires for 8 years until they failed) still get about 380 mpg on a full tank and sitting at 170,000 miles with no end in sight. The repairs were easy and parts were cheap. its a good little car thats gotten me from A to B and back. I'm going to get this car up to 200,000 and beyond!

Loved mine
My mom bought it new in 07. I got it years later, it had under 100k miles on it. One time I had to have my thermometer replaced...(15$ part & 1 YouTube video later..) other than that I had zero issues! And i didn't take care of this car:( I got oil changes.. about 3k miles after the recommended on the sticker (I read it was ok to do that lol) and I made it across the country and back a few times.. Went on so many adventures with my trusty ol hoopty.. ran great but the exterior handles all broke 1 by one. never felt like taking all the doors apart to replace the exterior handles, so i Had to keep a window open to get inside the car. That, or climb through the trunk. Conveniently I had a 4 yr old at the time to climb through for me those times I wanted to keep the windows closed lol. Also the center console fell completely off pretty quick. So she was slightly ghetto lol in appearances only. I got this bad girl over 230k miles (many freeway) before I had any troubles. The transmission was acting funky and the light was on. I figured it was too expensive of a fix for my lil hoopty with all these miles on it. But, I know nothing about cars. Who knows she may still be chugging along somewhere...~

Long time Ford Owner
Newer cars may have more bells and whistles, but this car did more than meet expectations. We had it since it was new and would consider a Ford for our next purchase. At over a hundred thousand miles it is still quite road worthy. The only reason why we gave up our Focus sedan since I last updated my review, was because as my health deteriorated it became harder for me to get in and out of this vehicle. Had my health not diminished I would still love to own it to this very day.
