Bought this car new after years of buying used cars on the 'hit' or 'miss' principal. Purchased 4 years 48000 mile service plan with it and it was worth it. Had the A/C system fail in the first 6 months but Ford supplied a rental during the service. A rental was also provided during recalls which helps with the inconvenience . I've tracked 99% of my fuel mileages and receipts. I can confidently claim 40+ MPG on the highway all year long and 32 MPG average mixed city highway. I would go for this car again as a base model with the manual transmission. It does have its interesting quarks and conversation starters, like power winds in the front, with crank windows in the back, built in blind spot mirrors. One nice feature that I noticed was when starting you can turn the key to start and then let go, and the car will start almost like a push button, it throws me off when I go to start older cars as you have to hold the key in the start position until it starts. It is an economy car that has a little pep for the on ramps and passing, down shift to4th or 3rd on the highway and your at 80 before you no it. The engine does sound good at higher RPMs but in 1st gear it get loud and winey/jumpy between 5-10 mph. I use 1st to start moving and shift to 2nd as soon as possible. PROS: Great gas mileage.Good power when needed.Mix of old style base features and modern upgrades where you want them most.CONS:One feature I really do no like is the traction control, as you cannot turn it off in this year and model, it makes the winter slush and snow more difficult than it needs to be and you will be bouncing the clutch trying to get power down.Suggestions: If you are looking at this Gen Focus get the manual transmission and have all the benefits of the cheap car without the issues plagued by the automatic power shift system.
