Why the 2005 Ford Focus?

Handling

Even though the chassis is now 8 years old, the vehicle handles extremely well. It is a joy to drive every day. The suspension and steering communicate so well that you forget your driving an economy car.

Safety & braking

The focus brakes are European hard. They grip well, and have very little fade.

Price or payments

The car is very affordable. I bought my focus new at a very good price, and my payments are pretty low.

Why Not the 2005 Ford Focus?

Quietness

There is an awful lot of intake noise from the engine. I think it is because of the plastic plenum that is used.

Depreciation

The vehicle has a high depreciation. I plan on holding on to vehicle until it dies.

Dealer practices

Dealer service is terrible. I have been to 4 different dealers for service, and only one of the dealers had a nice waiting room and did not treat you like a second class citizen. Unfortunately, that dealer went out of business.
