Used Ford Focus for Sale in East Liverpool, OH

I liked that the car was a 99 model, those are my two lucky numbers. I dislike that my head gaskets are busted again after a rebuild. Hopefully I won't need new rings, or crank shaft. I really like the look, and body of this car, I really don't know why this make and model did not make it to the fast and the furious. It is a really comfortable car, it has a lot of room, and the body is pretty wide. I noticed noises coming from the engine mounts that are busted as well. It has been in and out of the shop, and we can not find a great rebuild mechanic who won't charge an arm and a leg. The car has over 200 thousand miles on it, always did the oil changes, and could rebuild the motor for about 2,200 says a local mechanic. I've had so much fun with this car, went on road trips to northern California in it, and want to keep on doing so. Acceleration is not so good, I hear a rattle on first gear, then 2 is quiet and so up. Don't know if it's coming from the tire area? Break pads are still good, a little squeaky, and the suspension could be rebuilt for betting handling. I do feel safe and in control while I'm driving, no rattle of the steering wheel column.

Part of me absolutely loves this car. It's small but roomy, gets great gas mileage, has a room interior, has the ability to become a "sports car" if you put the transmission in sport mode, and has a surprisingly large trunk/hatchback. I love that the back seat is big enough to easily fit all three of my nieces and nephews. I don't like how the Bluetooth system is sometimes glitchy. I like that I can put the car in drive and drive in eco-friendly style, or I can put it in sport mode for a more fun experience. You can also adjust the gears if yourself if you like. Unfortunately, Ford created what could have been an amazing transmission in this car. It's an "automated manual" clutch system. However, the clutch that was originally put in the car did not last very long and becomes very jerky, sometimes even stalling out for a few seconds when accelerating from a stop. I also like that the back window has its own washer fluid and system -- it is very convenient in the dusty summers. The alert system tells you anytime something is wrong with your car too such as "passenger front door open," "low tire pressure," and if you get out of your car and leave it on "engine on."
