Used Ford Focus for Sale in Fort Bragg, CA

I really do love my Ford Focus. We purchased a hatchback because it allowed us to lay the seat down to carry large objects. I went to the dealership not knowing what type of car I wanted. I couldn't afford a really expensive car, but was impressed when the salesperson shows us the Focus models. I loved the way the hatchback looked and the decision was quickly made to buy. We have driven our Focus since late 2005, and have really enjoyed it. It has more room than we ever expected, and we have used it to transport several fairly large pieces of furniture that we purchased on the spur of the moment. We drive across the US between New York State and California twice a year, because we have a dog and we have a home in both states. Our Focus has made 10 trips across, and we have never had a serious car problem. We are careful to have it checked before making a trip, but it has been really great to us. My husband has had two hip replacements and a knee replacement. The gas mileage on our long trips is pretty good, but does vary according to our speed. We keep records every time we purchase gas, and it varies between the mid 20's up to 33 miles per gallon. It gets the best mileage on flat highway at a speed of around 60 mph. It also drives nicely, and holds the curves well. It's really difficult to come up with a con. I guess the radio system could be a little better. Also, I would recommend purchasing a color other than black, which is what we purchased. The black is really hard to keep clean. When it is clean and shiny, we really love the sporty look it has.

The Ford Focus is a great mid-size car. This is a perfect car for a new or experienced driver. The car handles really well and is not burdened with a lot of unnecessary gadgets that drivers typically do not use. The display is very easy to read, and it contains very valuable information such as current mileage, how many miles until empty, trip odometer, and speed. Another great feature are the warning or status messages. The driver is notified when tires need inflating, washer fluid is low, or how many miles left before running out of gas. The interior is very comfortable and easy to care for. This car also has a decent amount of leg room in both the front and back seats. Probably the best feature of the car is the gas mileage which equates to saving money. The Focus can go over four hundred miles on a full tank of gas, even further if driving for extended periods on the freeway. Not many negatives about this car. The back seat windows are not powered, the fan is not very strong, and it takes longer to heat or cool the car in general. The four-cylinder engine is sometimes a little under powered and takes a couple of extra seconds to get going. These are minor and would not discourage me from highly recommending this car to a family, friend, or colleague.
