good car great price by An MSN Autos Consumer on 07/26/2008. Trim: 2008 Ford Focus SES Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.

Pros: I really like this car, the price was great, 15k for the ses sedan. 0% financing. handling is great, the interior styling is great, exterior styling i like too, the air vents i even like. the engine is adequate, the road noise is low, it has good room inside, the car itself is the same underneath as the last focus, with few adjustments, and that car was very reliable and most of all the mpg, im getting 31mpg. if you want to pay 20k for a civic go ahead, the 4 door civic is ugly. the focus is cheaper, just as reliable, and gets better mpg. It’s a shame that people have this perception that the US car companies can’t build quality reliable affordable cars,

Cons: nothing yet

Overall review: if you are looking for a cheap, reliable and good looking car, that gets 30+ mpg, the focus is it. with ford hurting right now financially, you will get better deals, compared to toyota or honda
