Why the 2005 Ford Focus?

Past personal experience

This is an "exit review" as I just sold the car. I bought this car new in April of 2005, and drove it daily, logging a total of 152Kmi. The car had but one major repair in its time with me, a failed ABS sensor early in its life that was repaired under warranty. That one episode aside, it was unflinchingly reliable, returned good fuel economy, and had an astonishing ability to swallow cargo. It was also reasonably comfortable and capable of handling long trips without punishing the driver. It also punched well above its weight class as far as handling was concerned.

Fuel economy

Averaged about 30 mpg throughout the life of the car.

Why Not the 2005 Ford Focus?

Fuel economy

Fuel economy at 30 mpg (average) was OK but not spectacular. I blame the 4 speed automatic for that and suspect I might have done better with the 5 speed manual.
