Used Ford Focus for Sale in Ukiah, CA

The Ford Focus (2004) in ZX3 trim is, by far, one of the most rock-solid automobiles that I have ever owned, and this is coming from someone who has owned more than his share of vehicles, from my old beater 1982 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, through various Asian imports (including multiple Altimas). And I always make an effort to pick rental cars that I have never driven before. In short, I have a fair share of experience driving all manner of makes and models of non-luxury automobiles, and this variety of the Ford Focus is up their with the best! A big part of the Focus hatchback experience is the surprising acceleration from the 2.2 liter engine, which has shocked the drivers of BMW M3s with it get-up-and-go. And the feeling that you get cornering in this version of the Focus hatchback is something akin to tearing through a supermarket in a go-kart. Fun, fun, fun! Of course, if the car was unreliable, it would have died on the side of the road, with a white rag hanging out of the driver's side window, like a hanky of surrender, on any one of a number of trips across the desert. But this bad boy just keeps trucking along after all these years!

I have owned this silver, 4 door Ford Focus sedan for over 10 years. I love the mileage that this car gets. The gas tank is on the smaller side which can be a plus when gas costs rise. One of the features I love the most is the sizable trunk. From the outside it looks like it would be tiny, but the trunk is fairly deep and extends to the back seats. For all the miles/daily wear & tear this car has been through it has been sturdy and reliable. I have driven this car over 100,000 miles and have had to replace the engine, radiator, fuel pump and oil pressure gauge within the last 25,000 miles.
