Why the 2005 Ford Focus?

Why Not the 2005 Ford Focus?

Fuel economy

Poor in town and highway. Extremely disappointed. I would not mind the 20mpg if this was translated into 0-60 times of 6 seconds - but it is not. I have no idea where the fuel goes - it is certainly not converted into power.

Interior styling

Could it be more bland and ugly? Yes, but not by much.

Exterior styling

OK, but just not sharp enough really.

Powertrain performance

Lethargic power delivery. Higher rpm does not equal more power, just more noise.

Brand reputation & image

This is a very good car. However, people look down on Ford. It will take Ford years to regain the image of decent, reliable transport - which is what the Focus excels at.
