| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Cheapest new car I could find, cheaper than a brand new base model Hyundai Accent. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
This car is a bang for buck performance car. You will not find a better performer for the price. You can often get one out the door for not much more than 20k, and sometimes less... |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Less fashionable and thus less expensive than its competitors. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
0% interest, no down |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
While allowing for the difference between compact and sub-compact ratings, the Fiesta had an overall better pricepoint in the various trim levels than Cobalt. In all honesty Cobalt was a close second but the pricing is what broke the deal on getting on |

| 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 |
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). |
| 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. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Got it really cheap at a year end clearance sale. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 |
Good value for money. Inexpensive and usually reliable. |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Under $300.00 a month |

| 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. |
