Purchased the SES to replace my Subaru and try an economy car from a USA maker. What a pleasant surprise. The car is well built and handles great. Moon and Tune package a fun value to own. Sync and sound system is superior to others. Mileage is on par with others. Could be better with a higher range fifth gear. On a 500 mile road trip, never once had to down shift on highway due to hills or other. Engine is very strong. Got 33 mpg. Traction control good in snow, nice safety feature as are side air curtains. Moon roof is fun as is shifter. Rear leg room limited if front seats all the way back but adequate for short trips. SES package was worth the extra. Great pricing.
Nice Little Car

After 25 years of driving used cars I finally decided to purchase a brand new vehicle. After 6 months of research, I decided to go with the Ford Focus SE and I have no regrets. Features such as abs, stability and traction control come standard unlike many other cars in it's class. The build quality is excellent for a car in this price range and the handling is great. Gas mileage is also great. At my age I am less concerned about being a speed demon or impressing others than I am about reliability and being able to live within my means. This car suits both those purposes just fine.
Good efficient car

Just recently got this car used with 56k miles on it and i am very impressed with it. I got the base s model which didnt have anything fancy but very efficient car and comfortable. I am 6 foot 6 and with the seat back all the way i have plenty of room sadly pedal for acceleration is very small but my foot is size 14. The automatic 4 speed isnt bad at all and i get an average of 27.7 mpg atm with it driving mostly backroads. Handling is sharp on this car so if you are use to a bigger vehicle like i was (a 5k pound pontiac montana sv6) you will wanna let the car glide farther into corners. Engine sounds nice especially when it upshifts into 3rd, it is a very quiet engine but there is some rattle inside the car dash not too bad. If you can get the car in manual id recommend for the experience, if you like automatic its still nice to srive though so no complaints either way. With some good tires, brakes and a nice steering wheel grip this car is super fun to drive.

Needing a car for a 50 mile commute daily, I scoured the market and landed on this beauty. I am impressed with the fuel economy, the price but most of all, the reliability. Got this car for $11,700 after much debate. Ford has greatly improved their cars and I will be buying another Ford once this ones life is complete. I compared this to an Hyundai Accent and Kia Forte, which were roughly more but felt amazingly cheap and poorly built. You will not be disappointed with this car.

I have no idea what people are talking about when they say that this car has no power. I am 6ft 300 pounds and this car fits me better than the ford fusion. Ok this car is not a speed demon but this little car is what I would have to say is zippy. I am at 40mph in no time. The car is fun to drive and so far I am having a blast with it. Go and test one out and you may see what I have stated. The gas mileage is perfect 35MPG on split city and highway driving can't ask more than that.
