| Price of the Ford Focus: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Price was so low it was almost a concern. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Got it really cheap at a year end clearance sale. |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 2004 | 2dr Hatch 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
It was an inexpensive car to purchase. |
| 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. |

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
I found a great price on my WRX from a private seller. Was in stock form and seem to run fine. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Very reasonable price for AWD, 240hp and reliable vehicle |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Very reasonable for what one gets - at least it was in the 2006 model. At $23K for an AWD little wagon with 230+ hp, great reliability and lots of fun it was nearly unbeatable. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Relatively inexpensive for what you get - only similar cars are German and $10K more. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Negotiated 18K out the door, great value! |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
While the STi is not cheap by any measure, it will outperform many cars twice its price. It only has one serious rival in its price/performance class (Mitsubishi Evo). Otherwise, it will eat most other sport sedans for breakfast. |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
The WRX came with metallic paint (extra cost on the BMW), cloth seats (not available on the BMW), and a cassette player AND 5-disc in-dash CD player (combo not available on the BMW), offered higher performance and cost $15k less. |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Subaru Canada, I have a question for you: why you charge 2k more here than in States? Give me one reason, please... |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
This car is considerably more expensive than a Civic due to the AWD and turbo powertrain. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
It was a little more expensive than the GTI I bought plus the loan would have been at a higher interest rate. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
I feel the car is about 20% too expensive for what you get considering the poor quality of materials and low interior build quality. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
New and rare model made the dealer unwilling to deal. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
The new and relatively rare nature of the car made the dealer unwilling to deal. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Making it every month !!! |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
I had a hard time finding a good one in the used market and it was impossible to get a deal because of the scarcity. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Expensive compared to other comparable subcompacts, but you get AWD, many safety features, and high resale value. |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Even old models with high mileage cost alot. |
