i love my car. not really a focus fan but it unsurprised me!!!
i love how the new model looks  for one. and it actually has a lot of pick up and go. love driving it. soooo sooo much fun. well if u have a stick of course! its good on gas, and fro a great price it actually looks pretty classy inside rather than the older models.

Pros — love the preformance, apperance and gas mileage
Cons — only got a 6 mth free subscription for serious sat, and the back is a little smaller in the 2 door

This care is definately great on gas.  Smooth driving on the highways, and love the get up and go speed it gets.  And I will definately recommend this car to all my friends.  As well, the price of the car will not put you in the poor house. And I really enjoy driving it.  

Pros — It is great driving on the highway.
Cons — Kinda small.

What a fun car to drive. It has great get-up and go for a little 4-banger.  Microsoft Synch is a great addition and comes in very handy when I need to make a call while driving.  The red paint is nicely done and the interior still smells like it's new.  I'd recommend anyone looking for a compact car to check out the Focus.

Pros — very good fuel economy, great options
Cons — small size

It's just a decent little car.  Acceleration is good.  Sound is decent.  Rides smoothly.  Has a sharp look inside and out.  And for the price, I don't think there is much out there that can rival it.  It's fun to drive, and great on the pocket with today's gas prices.

Pros — Look, feel, gas mileage, price tag
Cons — Crome fender addon, no sync, no cruise control

Best car on gas you could buy without buying a hybird. I get a little over 35 mpg. I love the new body style the are using on the 2008 now, it's so much nicer than the old focus. Interior is sweet at night, i have the lighting in my car so just a click of a button and the floor and cup holders lights up, i have a choice between 7 colors! One thing is nice about the color of mine, you don't see if very often. In case you wnna know what color mine is it's called vapor silver. All around so far it's been a good car, i couldn't ask for anything better.

Pros — Appearance is ten times nicer!
Cons — frozen ice on back window/trunk.. can't open trunk than have to break ice to open that damn thing
