2005 Ford Focus S review from North America
"A great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not one single thing went wrong with this car.
General comments?
This was a very fun car to drive. It had terrific pep, and achieved excellent fuel economy - 35 MPG on the highway. This particular car lacked cruise control, so was a bit tedious on very long trips. The steering wheel did not telescope so arms were stretched a bit too straight in order to facilitate a comfortable leg position. All-around a great little car.
