| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | One of the lowest priced vehicles in its category (similarly equipped). Excellent interest rates. Dealers willing to negotiate. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 148hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | I was able to get a good deal using a salary sacrifice process on a leased vehicle. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | balloon financing, can get a loaded car for far less than other SUVs with the same features, low financing rates |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Most available standard features which are extras on other small SUVs and jack up their price. Got it for less than the advertised price. Had about 15 vehicles to choose from at below the advertised price unlike most dealers that have only 1 or 2. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | With high residual value, monthly lease payments for full-loaded model were comparable to base model Honda Pilot and Nissan Murano. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Good price for a mid-size SUV. Much better priced than a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV or Highlander |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Best value in class, about $3-5K less than Toyota or Honda. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Great rebate and the sales person was willing to meet our price range. I was able to get a really good price for a car with all the bells and whistles. The long warranty helped a lot also. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Low price for such a vehicle. So many features standard, special safety features. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Great value. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Well priced below $20,000. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | More features for less than competition. Zero financing. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 148hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Lots of "Power, without the Price" |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Good price for what you get inside out of the vehicle. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD | very fair price for entry into SUV segment |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | unsure about their captive lender financing, did not want to apply and be turned down for a loan |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Price was fair when I bought it.. Has come down since the drop in auto sales. Just hope it can go 150K or more on it. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Lease rates were completely ridiculous compared to the Mazda. Wanted you to buy, but did not have good interest rates available. |

| Price of the Ford Focus: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Bought used 19k miles, good condition, $9,500 |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | $16,700 is quite a bit of money for a two-liter four sedan, but the Focus has build quality and content that justify it pretty well. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | The Focus is one of the cheapest new cars. There are others that are cheaper, but they basically come stripped of options like AC and radios. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | It gave me the payment i needed while still providing most of the things i need in a small sedan. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | It was an affordable car even when loaded with lots of options! |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | For what it is, it is not overpriced. The payments do not stress out my budget. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Price was so low it was almost a concern. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Cheaper, with better standard features, than any competitors (Yaris, Honda Fit, Hyundai Accent). |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Got it really cheap at a year end clearance sale. |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | The Focus is a lot of car for the money compared to smaller cars that sell for similar prices. Incentives allow a sale price far below sticker. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Bought it new in March 25 2006.With dealer incentive paid $13,480.5/100,000 drive train warranty and 5/75 extended warranty |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | I git a brand new, Top trim level, loaded car with Power everything, 6 disc CD/Mp3, ABS, Traction control, handling package for under $13,000. |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | The car is very affordable. I bought my focus new at a very good price, and my payments are pretty low. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | It was 2000 dollars less than the yaris, which had three times the miles... |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | $16,000 bought me a car with a ton of features (for the price), a $100,000 mile warranty, and decent gas milage. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | The Focus is one of the cheapest cars in its class. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Cheap, reliable, easy in town. |
| 2004 | 2dr Hatch 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | It was an inexpensive car to purchase. |
| 2004 | 2dr Hatch 145-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Not only is the sticker price on a used or new Focus low, the parts are low too. Dramatically lower than Euro or Japanese cars. For example, a Focus 30K service is around $200-$250. A Subaru 30K service is $400-$500. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD | I paid $13,400 for a car that listed for $18,995. Used Protege5s were selling for more at the time. No other car with leather, sunroof, ABS, and such could be bought for a similar price. |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon 145-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD | This was the most inexpensive wagon available at the time. Lots of value for the money. |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Under $300.00 a month |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Good value for money. Inexpensive and usually reliable. |

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | What can I say, it's a cheap car. At the time I purchased in 2009, the car was almost three years old and still had a sale price of $13000. It's currently only worth less than half of what was paid four years later. I purchased this car because of need and very limited time to make a choice. I knew I didn't want another Nissan because of their weak engines. My sister had just bought the 08 Focus SE model a few months before and was happy with hers, so I thought this might be an okay choice. Read on. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD | The Focus SVT would have cost me about $5,000 more than the Mazda Protege5. |

What Our Members Are Saying about Hyundai Santa Fe Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Hyundai Santa Fe: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Interior looked upscale, doors solid, no squeaks & rattles, thick materials everywhere. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Nice matte finish on doors and dash. Although not soft touch, the materials still feel and look very nice. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Seems well built. After 30K, no rattles and handles still like new |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
No shop vists |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Good fit and finish, no creaks, even the fake wood trim and fake chrome accents looked good. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Seem to be well made and has a solid feeling |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Hyundai Santa Fe: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Interior material feel slightly cheap and dated. A lot of hard plastics. Not as bad as some competitors (cr-v, Venza, Equinox) but should be as good as the Sonata. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Some rattling common just because the build quality, interior is I would say subpar. Sometimes the seatbeats smack again the side of the door and if I only open the back windows then it is just a nuisance. The cd player has issues, not always reading CDS |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
headliner had to be fixed soon after purchase and passenger hand grip came off when being held in a turn. Interior lighting is among worst I have ever seen. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Ford Focus Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Ford Focus: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The car is well built and thus far the quality has been spot on. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Fit and finish are vastly superior to previous-generation Focus (2000-2007). Interior is quiet, with Lexus-like panel fit and finish. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Ford Focus: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Much better than the old Focus, but the plastics are still pretty cheesy in spots. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Carpet fraying. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The quality of the materials in the Focus is definitely very cheap. A lot of hard, cheap plastic is used. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Passenger seat rattles if the backrest is too straight and a bit of plastic around the defroster vent is warped. The steering wheel button labels are wearing off as well. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The workmanship and interior design is not great. Little rattles are showing up and I don't think I should be trying to silence them with my own little car-hacks. How much more could it have cost, Ford, to do this better? |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
As stated, this is a cheap car. Other than the engine block and frame, the car is built of cheap materials and it shows. A car that is only seven years old should not be falling apart on the inside! I am a single person, no kids, no family to haul around, and I take very good care of my car and keep it clean--and the seats, front armrest console, and plastics on the dash look worn out or have broken. Also, there are numerous noises that occur when the accelerator is pressed down even slightly, and the repair shop is not able to determine the cause or stop it from happening. Also, Ford kind of skimped on the safety features, so if you have a side-impact wreck, the odds are good you will have some serious injuries. I would not recommend this car for families with kids over the age of five, as there are no head restraints in the back seats. |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Very cheap and ill fitting interior materials. Trim pieces misaligned, trim over door frames coming loose, plastic flashing on almost all surfaces. Needs more sound proofing. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The over all cheap, rental car feeling |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Cheap materials used in sensitive areas. |
