Ford Focus Usados en Venta en Levittown, NY

This car isn't new and flashy, but is easily the most dependable car I've ever owned. It gets me where I need to go, no questions asked. It might not be the fastest, sexiest car on the road, but it will always get the job done. It was a terrific buy for me at a time when I need frugal, easy transportation.

I enjoyed the shape of this car, and the fact that it was station wagon-type build. This gave me a lot of room when I folded down the backseats, which was perfect for getting myself back and forth to college (I moved myself completely—without the help of my parents, and all in one trip with this car). I also liked that the seats were upholstered nicely and not vinyl, making them cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The interior was sleek as well. It had quite a few blind spots on both sides, however, and was in the shop frequently. I went through eight wheel bearings in the 3 years I had it, and that was before it even reached 90,000 miles. It rusted very quickly, even for a vehicle in a heavily salted environment. The gas mileage was decent, around 30 mpg, but it wasn’t worth it for how much I had to have it in the shop. It drove okay, and had decent steering radius, but was not good in the snow. I live in upstate New York, and it got stuck and slid frequently. Not a great winter car, and I wouldn’t recommend without replacing snow tires every single year.
