3.5 years & 52,000 miles later, this is an update to my review of the 2011 Ford Focus SEL. Nothing has really changed. At first I thought of the Ford Focus as a "starter" car that lacked features so I was a bit reluctant to even look at it but I like to see things for myself so I checked it out anyway. It has heated leather seats, power windows & locks, sunroof, premium sound system w/ 8" factory subwoofer & Microsoft Sync. There is also a GPS navigation option, but my SEL does not have it. It's a nice compact car to cruise around in and take road trips. Aside from scheduled maintenance I have not had to do anything to this car. I can't really say anything bad about it, other than I wish there was the option for the 2.0 ecoBoost engine in the SEL because 4-cylinder acceleration is very weak compared to 4.4 v8 BMW & 4.6 v8 Lincoln we had before....and we really don't care for the Focus ST. Our next Ford will probably be a Lincoln MKZ 3.7

Outstanding value

This car is a great value. Drive for 110,000 miles. and didn’t have to do anything extra just normal things like tires, battery, oil changes. I got in an accident at 147,000 miles and never used a drop of oil in between 6000 mile oil changes. Average miles per gallon was better than listed on sticker the 2008-2011 are the best focuses made. Fun to drive, comfortable, low cost of ownership. You can’t go wrong with one of these, unless it’s not been serviced and taken care of, like any other car.

I got my 2011 ford focus 8 years ago! I have put a little bit of money into the car. She has not let me down at all. My car had 24,000 miles when I got it. The car now has 125,000 miles on it. The only thing wrong is the car is rushing around the rockers really bad. I'm buying a new car but will not trade it in keeping this car till it rust out.
