Blue Beauty Focus SE hatchback

I've had my bright blue 2018 Focus H/B since I purchased it Nov 2018. This is the 5th Focus I have owned since 2000, and is definitely the best of the breed! I've only had two service issues, beside a minor side swipe hit-and-run, being a flat tire and a corroded voltage sensor. It gives me daily driving at 30-32 mpg, while highway mileage consistently exceeds 40 mpg! I've only got 54k miles drive, so most of our driving has been of the local nature! The one thing that astounds most folks is how comfortable it is for my 6' 8" frame!

disappointing

I would not buy this car. It has negative issues. The first is the terrible placement of the speedometer- the steering wheel blocks the right side of it, making it necessary to lean to the left to see the WHOLE speedometer. [ Easy way to get a speeding ticket -"guessing your speed"]. The second issue concerns the back seat head rests. They are too high and block the driver's field of vision when checking for traffic on your right side. The third issue is the trunk latch. Two months into my lease I occasionally, six times to be exact, have had to pull over and close the trunk- after driving a short distance, because the trunk icon shows the trunk is ajar. This happens even though the trunk is "slammed" shut after loading. I would not recommend buying this car. Poor designing. Save your money. In the past I have purchased MANY Ford cars and trucks-and loved them all. I will never consider a Focus due to these three issues. They make this car unsafe to drive ! Be safe. Stay away from the Focus!
