Faults:

To date I have had no problems at all.

I love this car. As long as you can appreciate the fact that it is a small, economical car, and not compare it to a heavier touring car, you should be quite pleased. I drive regularly in mountains and it handles like a sports car. Interior size is limited -front seat fine - not much leg room for those in back. I wouldn't care to ride in back for much distance. My gas mileage continues to improve. I'm getting 32 miles on flat highways and 26 around town. A work car, I bought it for improved gas mileage, but have been surprised to find out what a fun car it is to drive. The trim package on the SES improves its appearance greatly over the SE, giving it a more substantial look.

Faults:

Nothing so far. However, I was surprised that the passenger interior door lid do not centrally lock the doors. Service says it is standard this way for 2008 models. I personally checked for 6 cars to-be-sold, and they were all the same..

This is my second Ford Focus. I previously owned MK 1 model, and this one is so improved and so satisfying at all. I truly could be able to find the spirit of the first model. Great handling, pleasing comfort and generous equipment make this an awesome car. I am sure I made the best choice.

This is my first "small car" purchase and I am extremely satisfied with my Ford Focus SE 4 door sedan. I am a pretty big person and I have no trouble getting in and out of this vehicle. My gas mileage has been between 24 & 30 MPG. I do not nurse my vehicles and don't like to waste time. This vehicle is used mostly for work (3 miles each way) and shopping. It is used for some of my grandson's sporting events that require some distance in traveling. Vehicle is comfortable with several desired options including cruise, side airbags, and remote trunk release. I shopped several vehicles and for the price and features I think it's the best deal. I don't regret my purchase at all.

Faults:

Nothing yet.

It came down to this focus or a Honda civic, the civic is a nice car, but they wanted 15,700 for a strip model out the door with no radio.

I got a focus SE with ac, auto, windows, anti-lock brakes, side airbags, door locks and stereo for 14,500 out the door. Not to mention that we liked the focus a lot when we drove it.

Ride is a little firm, but it is a smaller car. Good acceleration and the mileage has averaged over 30 in mixed driving.

Faults:

- Nothing serious so far.

- Seat has developed mild movement (Very slight).

- Creaking door seals (on a hot day the car creaks from window seals).

General Comments:

Very quick car with a lot of torque low down in the rev range, which enables a very lazy driving style, and makes it feel like a GT car.

Very practical, with plenty of room in boot, and it even comes with 5 doors if you need them.

Responsive handling for a FWD car in any condition.

An all round versatile car, which is excellent at eating large mileage, attacking the road, & nipping around town. You can really tell a lot of research has gone into developing this car.
