2007 4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I've always liked Fords better than most other brands, and this was actually the first Ford I've owned. see full Ford Focus review
2004 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 At first, there was nothing desirable about the Focus. I had to search and search for its potential and finally started liking it. Then it broke down... twice. see full Ford Focus review

5-speed manual FWD		 young, trendly, cool see full Ford Focus review
Ford Focus Brand Reputation: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Coupe 143-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Early Focus models has some problems. The Focus seems to be marketed almost exclusily towards the younger crowd. see full Ford Focus review
2009 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Ford is not exactly thought of as a premium brand. see full Ford Focus review
2005 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 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. see full Ford Focus review
2002 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 If you are going to buy a ford sports car why would you buy a focus when you can have a mustang. see full Ford Focus review
