2006 Ford Focus review from North America
"Practical, but not boring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car in June of 2007 and in August, the battery died and I was stranded. We took it to the mechanic and he had to replace the alternator and wiring harness.
Other than that, no problems.
General comments?
Gets between 20-25 MPG city and about 30 MPG highway.
Very practical car, good acceleration, good brakes, nice interior.
Lots of room, very big trunk.
