I purchased my Focus in June of '08, after driving a gas guzzling minivan for 5 years. After looking at Toyotas, Hondas, Chevys and Mazdas, the Focus was just the best idea for cost and reliability. I'm at 17,500 miles and have no issues. The gas mileage got up to 41mpg highway, but also as low as 27mpg city. Being a musician and a sort of music junkie, it's just amazing how seamlessly my Zune works with Sync. It's a good looking car with lots of options and features; it just gets you where you need to go - in style.
Glad I went back to Ford!

Just purchased my new Focus in red about 2 weeks ago. I absolutely love it. I use the AC all the time and don't really take it easy on the gas pedal and I still average about 37 mpg driving about 8% highway miles. It's really fun to drive and it looks really sporty which is awesome. I got the 5 speed tranny which is so smooth when shifting. With no extras I walked away paying just over $13,000 with dealer rebates. The only gripe I have so far would have to be that there is no trunk release on the inside and the S model doesn't offer keyless entry. But overall I love the car and don't regret the purchase whatsoever.
Great price-mpg

I am completly satisfied with this car so far. I have only driven 430 miles but I love the way the car handles. I got the base model with the 5 speed maual transmission. I filled up at 400mi so the mpg is as advertized. I love the stlying and have had several compliments. I feel good driving this car. I needed an economical car that fit my budget and this was it!
Great Little Car !

I traded in my 1999 Chevy Blazer, it was a big change going to a Focus, but I wanted a new car that didn't want to stop at every gas station ! Handles very nice & has great pick up speed. I've only had it 1 week & already put 300 miles on it. One thing I didn't notice until it was too late is there is no interior light for the back seat. I have a toddler & it's pretty dark in the mornings when I leave for work & dark once again when I get home, so it's hard to see to get him in & out, but it's something we'll have to deal with. Other than that it's been a great little car so far.
Thrilled with my choice of vehicle

I am absolutely thrilled with the purchase of my vehicle. I had test driven many competitors vehicles ( HHR, Cobalt, Cruiser). I was not satisfied with anything until I went to Ford. I purchased a manual specically for the zip and whip. I am a Ford girl and I can not cheat on Ford, so when this stylish 2008 Focus came out (I had a 2000 Focus prior) I had to get one. This vehicle is a replica of my personality (young, always on the go and stylish). If you want a vehicle that is economical, stylish (Metallic Silver), and you can park it in the spots that bigger cars cannot; then purchase a Ford Focus.
