  Love my 10 SE - 2010 Ford Focus
  By mdmiddleton - August 11 - 11:38 pm

  I know car magazines love to hate this car but I dont get it. Bought my 10 in 11 as a cheap gas saver and ive been very happy with it. The 2.0 4 cylinder isnt crazily fast but it easily keeps up to speed on the highway and averages 34/35 mpg. Id like it to have another gear and be a bit quieter but overall this is a great car for the money. I take it toi the dealer for the recommended 7.5k services and its never cost me more than $45. Ill just keep rolling on...

  Worst focus ive owned out of the 4 - 2010 Ford Focus
  By yankees102110 - September 23 - 10:19 pm

  Bought the focus ses in June of 2011 with 18k on it, I traded it in in April 2013 with 45k on it. In the 22 months and 27,000 miles i owned it i went through 3 sets of tires, 2 axles, 2 wheel bearings, abs control module that cost me almost 2000, 2 sets of front rotors, the driver side door handle broke, the locks in the car stopped working, and the sync would not work half the time. This all happened around the time the warranty ran out and just to be clear Ive always been very easy on my cars. This was my fourth focus Ive owned, 2 01s, an 05, and this one. I traded this one in for a 2013 corolla, I test drove the new focus and could not stand the way the transmission felt.

  Lemon!...Electrical Troubles... - 2010 Ford Focus
  By frustrated84 - February 8 - 10:34 pm

  This is the 1st car Ive purchased and believe me,I will never buy another Ford.The car was great for the first year,then started having electrical troubles.This only happened on cold mornings and would go away after a minute or up to 15 minutes but the radio wouldnt work,the signal light indicators in the car didnt work,no backlighting came on,the doors didnt lock automatically,the tire pressure monitor light came on,and the e-brake light stayed on after being disengaged.The dealership has been unable to diagnose or fix the problem.Already had a new instrument cluster,radio,and smart junction box installed...rental car for 45 days. In the process of getting Ford to buy the car back.

  Holds no value - 2010 Ford Focus
  By JAYBOY8801 - December 5 - 2:00 am

  Hi Focus owners, I bought this 2010 focus in April i down sized from a trailblazer to a car to save money on fuel. I like the car and knew i was going to lose a lot by dropping to a econo car but i did not know after paying 22,grand for a equipped focus in 8 months time it would only hold a Value just at 9 grand the whole better resale value that Toyota is truly crap. if you buy a focus you better plan to keep it until it dies

  Paint chiping from winter driving - 2010 Ford Focus
  By lastfocus4me - July 9 - 10:19 pm

  Purchased last Jan and drove it about 100 miles on salt covered roads after a snowy day. When I got home, I noticed that the paint in front of the rear wheel wells was chipping off. It continued to get worst every time I drove it in the snow. The dealer repainted this area and placed 8 pieces of clear plastic on the doors and fenders to try and prolong it from happening again per the Ford TSB. If you live in a area where they sand or salt the roads in the winter and expect the paint to be durable and long lasting, you should avoid this vehicle.

  Loaded interior, but a lemon engine - 2010 Ford Focus
  By features, but slow - May 26 - 10:28 am

  I have only owned this for 2 weeks and I love all of the features. SYNC, USB port, Aux, its great. It also looks pretty good on the outside with the gunmetal rims and the tinted lights. Driving though, is awful. The car is hideously slow. My last car was a Honda Civic and it was nothing special but it had no effort performing regular acceleration. My Focus though, seems to struggle to keep up with traffic and it takes a lot of gas just to maintain speed. They claim average MPG around 28, but driving just normally I am getting 24 or worse. I got 14 seconds on my 0-60 run! they claim 8.5. Did I buy a lemon? For a car with only 2800 miles on it, I dont see how it is performing so poorly.

  Lemon - 2010 Ford Focus
  By al9554 - April 20 - 5:53 pm

  Bought this American car and sorry I did. At 5005 miles the car stalls out at 35 mph and the dealer claims I reset the mykey as they say that is what the diagnostics told them. 2 wks. later at 5535 it does the same thing in the middle of rush hour traffic.This time they tell me some type of module is not working right and couldnt get the right reading. Towed both times, charged for the 1st one with no admission they were wrong or refund of my money. Last Ford I will ever buy. Cant trust the car anymore as soon as I get it back Im dumping it and buying foreign. See if someone from Fords reads this and responds. Very disappointed. Cheap interior.
