My wife bought this car for us when I deployed to Iraq in 2006.  At first I was worried, as I haven't been impressed with an American car in awhile, especially an American compact.  This is, quite possibly the BEST car Ford ahs built in awhile.  It has amazing performance for a bone-stock 2.3L car.  I do wish it was a five-speed though...

Pros: Impressive performance; great gas mileage
Cons: Wish it was a five-speed.

Overall I am pleased with the car.  I am not happy that I have had to replace the ignition at significant cost, but I have to drive something and it is to costly to drive my 96 T-bird.  Gas mileag is good at 30-32 mpg.  Acceleration is lacking (4 cylinder), but a very economical car to drive.

Pros: Good mpg
Cons: uncomfortable ride, lacks pick up on acceleration.

This car was fine, up until the ENGINE decided to blow up after 12000 miles. ford would warranty it because I put an aftermarket air intake on it. BS.

Pros: it was quick until the engine blew up
Cons: it's a focus.

My focus was well priced and has been a good, reliable car it isn't the most glamorous or sporty vehicle but you could do a lot worse.

Pros: Good boot and interior space, decent handling and fairly low maintenance.
Cons: A little slow off the mark, not the prettiest of cars and the headlights aren't the best
