1 / 6

2011 Ford Focus

Would recommend it to anyone wanting a compact.

PROS

Ride and Handling

All of the above were excellent. Other than replacing the battery twice in the 13 years, no problems. As I said I switched from being a GM customer (30) to Ford and never went back.

Seat Comfort

Ajustible seats both up and down and closer and further from gas pedal as needed. My brothers liked it - they are taller.

Technology and Entertainment

Their instructions booklet was easy to understand. Mirrors easy to set up.

Interior Space

In the 13 years I owned the car I found it had lots of space and a nicely set up trunk.

Value

Fully loaded and great value, both when I leased and when I bought it.

Fuel Economy

Very easy on gas. I could get away with 2 fill ups a month. Around the town of Whitby the full tank would last from 10 days to 2 weeks. The trip from ( Whitby to Bobcaygeon ) 1 1/2 hours return would still leave almost 1/2 tank. This was my 4th Focus.

Styling

I liked the sporty look with the spoiler.

Reliability

Low cost to maintain once I bought winter tires I only had to service the vehicle 2 a year (change of oil and check up)

Ford Escape PHEV has been great.

Technology and Entertainment

Safety features havew been helpful, rear camera, sensors, help me be more alert.

Plug In Hybrid, my day to day driving in town needs are met on a charge. Spending less on gasoline.

A bit of wind noise, possibly from sunroof, or doors seem echoe-ey.
