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

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

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This is our third Town & Country, over 170,000 miles, over the last 10 years. No major problems. I looked at Honda and Toyota first, came back to Chrysler. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2006 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 I bought one cause they have been building them for so long that they must have it perfected by now. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2007 4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 you hear about poor Chrysler quality and reliability, and a late-model low-miles used car like the one I drove proves that they fall apart too fast, or were never buttoned up well to begin with see full Chrysler Town & Country review
