2013 Ford Focus

This Is The Ultimate Pocket Rocket!!!

By Captain Tuvok (VA) on Thursday, July 04, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 1,200

Pros: "SYNC, Styling, Recaros, Controlled Power, HIDs."

Cons: "Lacks Back-Up Camera, Small 12-Gallon Fuel Tank."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I absolutely love this car! I bought a Tuxedo Black initially, but was really in love with the signature Tangerine Scream color... even though it is a little loud and showy. After racking up 6 months and 11,000 miles on the Tuxedo Black I traded it for the current. This car has nearly everything you could dream of. It's perfect for the tech-types, the racer-types, and it unique and refined enough for the semi-older driver who needs an economical play toy with a little zest under the hood. The pros are so plentiful that I could not begin the list... but the brakes are phenomenal from a safety standpoint. The only con is that there is the lack of a back-up camera, and the rear seating area is tight. Also, if you are much over 200 lbs or have wide hips, the wonderfully comfortable Recaro seats will feel a little... "confining." The racing suspension makes for rather unforgiving jolts on city streets but it very nimble and smooth on highways. Of course, if you wanted the ride of a Lincoln you'd be researching that car and not this little lightning bolt. :) This car is absolutely the one to pick if you're also considering the pricier Mazda, Subaru or Volkswagon competition. I guarantee you're gonna love the Ford. Happy Hunting!"

"This car is worth every penny spent, it gives me over 30 mpg in the city and almost 40 in the hwy. I get a lot of compliments on the car and it drives really good. You have to get used to the transmission at first but once it learns your driving habits it get a lot better. Would recommend this car to everyone."

It was great at 1st, but now the new has worn off

By Veronica on Thursday, May 02, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 26,000

Pros: "great look, great ride"

Cons: "too much maintenance & problems for brand new car"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"I loved this car from the moment I got it, I bought it with the idea that I wouldn't have to worry about maintenance or breaking down on the side of the road since it was a brand new car. Since purchasing it I have had 3 recalls and now my power steering has gone out on it, which left me driving home from work last week struggling just to turn the wheel. I got the extended warranty, even though when I agreed to it I was thinking that if I ever had to use it then I would never buy a Ford again because why should I expect my brand new car to need this, anyways, I'm glad I purchased it now, however due to the continuous maintenance that this car has required I don't think I will purchase another one, I had a Honda for the previous 7 years, never a problem, I think that will be my next purchase, unfortunately. Like I said I really wanted to love this car and I did for the 8 months, now a year and a half later, not so much..."

Excellent mpg, and drives great.

By Shawn H (TX) on Sunday, August 19, 2012

"I bought my 2012 Ford Focus S Sedan in May 2012. It's a looker, very attractive, sporty style. Very smooth ride. Handling is amazing. Good pick up. I have a lighter foot than most, but still I'm averaging 42 mpg overall (!). They say it drives like a car 2 or 3 times the price, and I believe it. It's a car a driving enthusiast would enjoy. Quite pleased."
