| 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 | 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 | 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 2010 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Cheap. Very good value. |
| 2010 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | 0% 72 MONTHS HERE IN CANADA |
| 2009 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price was/is reasonable. Far lower than the much bigger, much less fun to drive Toyota Sienna or Honda Oddessy. Plus, I got $2,000 cash back direct from Mazda at the end of April, 2009. |
| 2009 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Can get a full load of options for around the same cost as the base of models with comparable size and quality. |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Within my budget - the same or much cheaper than other cars with seating for 6 or 7 people. |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Low sticker, good base features and high resale makes this a cheap ride. |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Despite extra cargo room and versatility, price is close to that of the smaller Mazda 3. Even the base model is very well optioned. |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Excellent value for money - 18k for 6 seater car with climate control, sunroof, auto. |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Competitive pricing compared to the similarly sized KIA and perhaps the Matrix/Vibe. |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Hard package to beat for 20k well-equipped |

| 2008 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Not a bad value, but the Chevy HHR was $2000 less and had 15,000 fewer miles. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The car is well built and thus far the quality has been spot on. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Fit and finish are vastly superior to previous-generation Focus (2000-2007). Interior is quiet, with Lexus-like panel fit and finish. |

| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Much better than the old Focus, but the plastics are still pretty cheesy in spots. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Carpet fraying. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The quality of the materials in the Focus is definitely very cheap. A lot of hard, cheap plastic is used. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Passenger seat rattles if the backrest is too straight and a bit of plastic around the defroster vent is warped. The steering wheel button labels are wearing off as well. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The workmanship and interior design is not great. Little rattles are showing up and I don't think I should be trying to silence them with my own little car-hacks. How much more could it have cost, Ford, to do this better? |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
As stated, this is a cheap car. Other than the engine block and frame, the car is built of cheap materials and it shows. A car that is only seven years old should not be falling apart on the inside! I am a single person, no kids, no family to haul around, and I take very good care of my car and keep it clean--and the seats, front armrest console, and plastics on the dash look worn out or have broken. Also, there are numerous noises that occur when the accelerator is pressed down even slightly, and the repair shop is not able to determine the cause or stop it from happening. Also, Ford kind of skimped on the safety features, so if you have a side-impact wreck, the odds are good you will have some serious injuries. I would not recommend this car for families with kids over the age of five, as there are no head restraints in the back seats. |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Very cheap and ill fitting interior materials. Trim pieces misaligned, trim over door frames coming loose, plastic flashing on almost all surfaces. Needs more sound proofing. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The over all cheap, rental car feeling |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Cheap materials used in sensitive areas. |

Materials did not seem that durable in the used 2008 that we looked at....plastic surfaces were scratched and worn after 40,000 miles. |
| 2007 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The build quality is not the best inside, there are a lot of plastic inside |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Cheap looking and cheap feeling interior materials, particularly the silver-painted trim bits. Centre console is loose and plastics are easily scratched. |
