Used Ford Focus for Sale in Reedsport, OR

I think the build quality and materials in the higher trim levels are very nice. I'm happy with the interior and leather, especially. I haven't experienced any issues with any of the interior components. My biggest complaint is Ford's inability to fix an ongoing issue in their Dual Clutch Transmissions, which affect more than just the Focus. Since 2012, there have been thousands of complaints of transmission shudder issues, related to bad input shaft seals. Ford has put out revision after revision, and still has not managed to fix this issue. For that reason alone, I feel that I wouldn't recommend this particular car to anyone. As of now, since my car is in the dealership for service on the seals and clutches, I would rate it a 3/5. If this revision of seal material proves sufficient, then I would rate the car a solid 4.5/5. It is aesthetically pleasing, amazing on gas mileage (which is important since I commute 1+ hours one-way to work), and is very fun to drive.

I regret making this purchase. If I would have known the defects that this car has I would of kept my old car. Car looks good from the outside but the inside is a complete different story. I'm two months away from having purchased this car and have had a total of 4 rentals. Worst part of all, most of the expenses were not covered through the Ford dealership, meaning that those expenses needed to come out of pocket. Like mentioned above, vehicle looks good from the inside and out. Reason being of choosing this particular model.

This vehicle is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I drove old beater Buicks all my life and loved them, but the gas mileage killed me so I went on the hunt for something new and more suited to my highway commute. I ended up going with a newer Ford Focus after much online review and test driving and, I've got to say, I've got a new love of my life. The engine is only 4 cylinder, smaller than I'm used to, but it has enough power to get me up to speed on the highway in more than enough time, and I don't use as much gas doing it. The MPG is incredible, much better than I'm used to. I get an average of 32 MPG, which saves me a significant amount of money at the pump. Everything about this car feels right: the traction is solid, the steering is responsive but not overly so, and the engine is quiet. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is the fact that if you punch the gas too hard from a complete stop it sort of does a rough shift into first gear (I'm not quite sure how to describe it. I can feel it go, then let off, then go again suddenly, then let off, then finally keep going, even though my foot has been on the gas the same pressure the whole time. This only lasts a second or two.). My solution to that is to ease myself into first gear slowly from a complete stop, then punch up to speed, so that I avoid this issue altogether. I also enjoy the computerized dash. The home screen has radio control, phone syncing, and navigation, and the screen behind the wheel lets you cycle between showing your average MPG, your current trip odometer, and your miles before empty. I love the convenience of it. The sound system is great too, but that will vary by trim. It's also very spacious. I got the hatchback right before I moved, and I was AMAZED at how much stuff I was able to cram in! I only had to make two trips! I also feel safe in this vehicle. Coming from driving Buicks which I was able to beat the tar out of for years and walk away without a scratch on me, I was nervous about downsizing to a more fuel efficient "eco-box". My fears were unfounded. It's small while also being spacious, and there's enough car around me that I don't feel I'll be crushed like a sardine in a can if I were to get T-boned. The safety ratings are all high, and the handling makes me feel as though I could effectively avoid an accident if it were within my power to do so. The reliability is a huge plus too. I felt like I had to take my old beaters into the shop every month. I've been driving this Focus for a few months now without the slightest hint of anything needing work. For a recent college graduate on a tight budget, not having to blow a couple hundred bucks every few weeks is a HUGE relief. Overall, this car made me believe in love again. I wouldn't trade it for anything! If you're looking for something small and fuel efficient for commuting while still being big and sturdy enough to protect you and to accommodate all your cargo holding needs, I can't recommend the newer Ford Focus Hatchback enough.
