  • Fun with Focus - 2006 Ford Focus

    Car runs smooth and is very comfortable to sit in. So quiet we keep thinking the engine is off. More pick-up in power than expected. Great gas mileage!

    Traded in a 2003 Focus SE sedan for an 06 Focus (infra-red) ST sedan. Loved the 03 but the ST trim level takes the car in a whole new direction. Very sporty and powerful off the line. Handles like a champ with responsive steering. Feels solid and safe. Engine is louder than the 03, has a buzzy sound.

  • MY FOCUS - 2006 Ford Focus

    I love my 2006 Focus ZX SES. Its a lot snapper than my 06 PT CRUISER that I had. I love how comfortable you are when driving long distances. Good price with all the features I got.

  • Good car for the money - 2006 Ford Focus
    By -

    I find this car to be a good value; lots of room, good performance, great gas mileage. It sort of reminds me of a mini-SUV. The seats are overstuffed and very comfortable. It has the road manners of a more expensive car. This car has surprising power for a 4 cylinder vehicle. Fully featured with power windows, locks, tilt steering, and an excellent audio system. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  • A Focus ... Who Would Have Thought - 2006 Ford Focus
    By -

    It was between the Corolla-S, and a Focus ... and the Focus won my heart. Who would have ever thought a Focus to be worthy of such praise. It is a fun little car to drive around, and compared to my truck I used to have, the gas mileage is awesome!

  • A good car for the price - 2006 Ford Focus
    By -

    Although the design is now several years old (2005 "freshening" was insignificant), its functional and offers a fun driving experience. Great for tall folks (Im 62") and super in the Ottawa winter, thanks to traction control and heated seats.

  • My Focus - 2006 Ford Focus

    I have owned a 2003, 2004 and a 2006 Focus. I have enjoyed driving each one. I also own a Ford 500 and it sIts in the garage most of the time. The Focus is a fun car to drive.

  • Great Economy Car - 2006 Ford Focus
    By -

    Just picked up my 06 SES w/auto. The car is just a blast to drive - way more so than the price may indicate. The build quality looks better than average, and the stock radio is just fine. The rebates make this too good of a deal to pass up.

  • Great for parents - 2006 Ford Focus
    By -

    I am a single mom and I was looking for a car that had room plus good mileage. This is a good car because it has fold in seats in the back to put longer stuff in your trunk. The trunk is large too. The seats have anchors for car seats and you can still fold one side or both sides down if you have a rather large item. I love my car.

  • best car in its class hands down! - 2006 Ford Focus
    By -

    I have a 06 Ford Focus ZX4 SES. I just have to say that this is the best car in its price range. I love everything about it. I got this car as a early high school graduation present. This car rocks.
