GENERAL COMMENTS
 
"This car is wonderful to drive. It has a great radio that fades when the car slows. I have an automatic. It is very comfortable. Lots of leg room in front & with passengers if you move the front seat up a little they have plenty of room. Looks smaller than it is. It rides high so you don't feel like you are driving low on the road, which I hate! Gas milage is good. Big trunk room with fold down back seats. Nice looking interior. Lot of head room. Big glove compartment. I wish the middle arm rest was more substantial. Protracting steering wheel. I love taking curves with this car! "
Deb C. (Rock Island , Illinois - August, 2005)
 
"I just bought my car 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I've tried the cruise control on a long trip and it was great, I also have tinted windows, I highly suggest to get that it's great to have. I called Ford gave them my VIN # and all the questions I had about my car and they told me about life history, recalls, Very helpful. The picture in this rating is not what my car looks like though it's a 4 door. "
Sheri B. (Sebring , Florida - July, 2004)
 
"Sharp and precise handling. Stiff, responsive chassis. Good 5-speed transmission with well chosen ratios and decent feel in the stick. Engine revs nicely and produces adequate power, especially in the 4-5500 RPM range. Low end power is only fair. Car is reasonably comfortable -- even for large adults, is fully featured with lots of power options, has a great tilt and telescope leather wrapped wheel and a nice 6 cd changer aqnd sound system. After a few initial defects, car has been completely trouble-free."
Jeffrey G. (River Vale , New Jersey - January, 2003)
 
"Great drive and handling, but lacks in power. I would like to see a 200HP model."
Richard D. (Panama City , Florida - September, 2002)
 
"Nice car for the money, looked at everything in the price range for my daughter. The focus had the best price, safety, and value over all other makes. I have 1700 in GM Credit card cash but couldn't find a GM worth buying in this price range."
Eagle , Idaho - July, 2002


GENERAL LIKES

GENERAL DISLIKES
 
"Going up hill when the air conditioner is on is very slow going. I usually turn off the air on a hill." "Tinted windows are great for daytime, but night can't see out need to put window down to change lanes." "Lack of low-end power, mediocre gas mileage" "The sound system is lacking in power and need more highs" "A little sluggish with the automatic"
