I purchased a second hand 2005 Ford Focus for my wife as a learning purpose. I purchased it from a car yard dealer. It was in good condition although it was a 12 years old car. After I purchased, in the second week, transmission light was on and off. I spend a few hundred to fix it. A few months later, the engine light was on. I spend another few hundreds to fix that too. However, the car itself works well. Just the computer things got issues. Hopefully, just my bad luck to purchase such an issued car. I already get rid of it at a low price.

I brought my ford focus in 2007 brand new it was sitting on the lot but yes at the time I was looking at another car at that time I was looking at a Holden at the time cause I am a big holden fan I found the ford focus sitting on the lot and it just caught my eye. and friend of mine owned one of the previous models and yes I fell in love so I wen't to the car dealer to start the process by it end of the day I had the finance and started signing the contract I love my ford focus since having my car I have started spending money on it buy buying new alloy's beefing up the suspension tinting the windows and a lot more but no I would not update to the current model as the boot is smaller as well as the engine.

We've had this car for a few years now. It's reliable and is easy to manoeuvre. The boot is surprisingly very spacious for a hatchback. We've looked at other cars and none of them have boots as spacious as the focus. Drives very smoothly too. We're planning to buy a newer version of the focus soon.

I owned this car after buying it second hand. The aux port was inside the glove box for some strange reason which was not only impractical but difficult to plug in. The side skirting was cheap and easily came loose. Apart from that the fuel mileage was good but the suspension could have been better.

The Ford Focus is a really fuel efficient car that has the best of both worlds. It is an amazing first car for a learner driver. It has a strong engine with a strong Ford backing behind it. The costs are low for fuel and the benefits are endless. It is really cheap on tyre's as well. The design is sleek and modern, the shifting between gears is smooth and it is a really quiet car with multiple benefits.

Suprisingly tough car, economical on fuel, minimal issues & all able to be repaired quite promptly & financially competitive. Feels safe & perfect for a family car. Quite spacious interior & generous boot. Obviously works better with 6 monthly services or starts to guzzle fuel & try & steer clear of white. They tried to think of all convenient extra functions

I had a 2007 Ford Focus 2ltr tiptronic for 3 years. Lovely car, easy to drive, parking a breeze, comfortable, plenty of punch......but the constant road noise/rumble was awful for a car of that age. I changed the tyres, and front shock absorbers, but to no avail. Two people I work with also had the same make/model and year, and had the same issue. Investigation showed that the sound-proofing was woefully inadequate and for me to rectify this would have cost around the $NZ2000 mark, so I sold the car which was a shame considering all the other positives about it. Here's hoping they addressed this problem with later models.

I owned a 2006 LS Ford Focus LX sedan for 2 years.I sold the car because of the road noise.It had very uncomfortable seats, the build quality was terrible.Front wheel bearings failed at 125000 ks.Fuel economy was good for an auto.Shocking car on a long trip,space saver spare was useless.Best thing about it was the stereo.By far the worst Ford i have ever owned.Drive a Corolla or Mazda 3 before you think about a Focus,mine was a dud

Having owned 3 new XR8 Falcons and numerous other European "luxury" cars, the Focus delivers a level of quality, power and refinement I'd expect to find only in far more exotic vehicles. The wonderfully tourquey engine combines with the slick six speed gearbox to provide an easy and relaxed drive during the daily commute, and plenty of surprises for other "hot" hatches when the need arises. Ford has done wonders with the exhaust and it produces a fantastic sound inside and out of the car when the pedal is pushed.
Focus XR5 Turbo: Awesome vehicle! Smooth, powerful, deceptively fast, excellent handling, and brilliant value for money.
