Zippy, fuel efficient, and spacious.

I bought a fully loaded Focus SEL with manual transmission. This car is simply designed beautifully. I am 6'4" and easily have plenty of headroom and can get 2 adults in the back without moving the seat. The stick shift is very smooth and ergonomically placed. This car zips nicely and gets me over 31 mpg so far. The sync system is really cool but the one complaint I have is the speaker placement. If you drive with the windows down like I do the wind noise really drowns out you stereo. They need to raise the speakers higher so they are closer to your head. Also,I got the SEL which makes the interior really nice. I noticed base models seem to have really cheap interiors.

My friend and I rented Ford Focus on https://rental24h.com/usa/los-angeles-airport for nearly 60$/day went to the chalet for a couple of days. The way was 246 km long, everything was okay, no noises, good road holding except one thing- doors of the car during the opening/closing cracked. I've heard that this model has such feature so we didn't pay attention to that.

the car is fine for going to and from work I have no problems with it except the fact that the handling is god awful. the ride is way too soft. the car has a ridiculous amount of body roll to the point going around a corner at high speed feels very dull and spongey
