2007 Ford Focus review from North America
"The car is acceptable and fair as a first car for a teenager, but besides that age group...awful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Car shakes when driving
2) When shifting gears while driving the car pauses before moving (scary on the highway).
3) Gas mileage is not good
4) Lights are not bright (especially in fog and rain)
5) Lights in car never work
6) Seats are not comfortable
7) Car handling is terrible, whenever driving on a bumpy road the car just turns violently to the right or left.
General comments?
I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone, honestly. It runs very similarly to the 1998 Ford Taurus I had previously. I expected a 10 years younger car to run much better, but that's not the case with Fords, apparently.
