07 Last of the Nimble Focus Hatchbacks - 2007 Ford Focus
By Mojave_Explorer - September 2 - 3:56 amThe little ZX3 is not a Mazda 3 but it is its less expensive cousin with the almost same 2.0 engine less the vvt. Too bad that Ford is replacing the hatch back in 08 with a coupe, but maybe it will drive just as well. I am getting 25 mpg in town and on a trip across California and Arizona on the interstate, I got 30 mpg average on a 400 mile trip, and my ZX is an automatic. I have only had it for a few months but they have been trouble free, and Ford now has a 5 year 60K warranty just in case. Its a solid little car for the price.

Great little car - 2007 Ford Focus
By bigguy - July 27 - 11:26 pmAfter considering the much more expensive Honda, Toyota, and Mazda, I decided to buy a Focus. Besides, I believed Ford earned my business with their commitment to quality. This car is well thought out. Like others have said, it is small on the outside, but feels roomy on the inside. At 62" and 250 lbs., I feel comfortable. And yes, I can get into and out of the back seat painlessly. Yep, I did consider the Cobalt out of the other American cars. But, in my opinion, it is not nearly as good- looking. Im getting 32-36 mpg with the fun-to-drive stick. And, itll probably get better, as the car has just 2K on it.

More for your Money - 2007 Ford Focus
By esperirod - July 21 - 10:06 pmOur expeience with this car has been fabulous so far. Our car has heated leather seats (in a Focus?), sunroof, Sony Audiophile 6 disc changer and subwoofer, side impact airbags, 4 wheel ABS, and all other standard features. You show me a Corolla or Civic with this much bang for the buck! And it rides soft in the straights, firm in the turns. On top of this, the ST is rated at 22/32 mpg. We averaged 32.4 mpg on our first tank...above EPA ratings.

Love it - 2007 Ford Focus
By Great ride - June 21 - 2:30 pmAs soon as I test drove it I decided to buy it. For the price it is one nice ride. And whoever drives it also likes it. The only problem I have with it now is that my wife will not give it up.

Practical all-rounder - 2007 Ford Focus
By Kevin - January 12 - 8:40 pmI purchased this car after relocating across the country, and having to leave my old ride for the vultures. Needed a car that would fit the bill to haul all manner of awkward cargo and serve car- pool duty for my 80 mile (each way) commute. At 8 months and 18,000 miles in, my Focus has peformed reliably and without complaint. Not the nicest car in the segment, but for just over $14K, I got a 5 door hatchback with all the conveniences expected from a modern car, including the optional ABS and front side airbags, along with cruise control and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The drivers seat has so far proved comfortable for my 61" frame on drives up to 400 miles with no aches or pains.

I like to be in Focus - 2007 Ford Focus
By robert hunter - September 7 - 8:06 pmI like the stick shift. The transmission is smooth and aids with fuel economy. The heater and AC are great and easy to control. The rear seats are a little cramped for big people but I rarely have anyone in the rear. Ill buy another Focus when this one has a lot more miles on it.

As good as it gets - 2007 Ford Focus
By Daniel Feldman - July 29 - 4:13 amThis is probably the last affordable station wagon that provides what stations are supposed to: space, with a lot of fuel economy, without paying for the performance of the car. My only complaint would be about the interior design where a few more compartments could be added, and the quality of the materials could be higher. It would be great if all the accessories offered on the British version of this car were available.

6 years later it is finally time to go - 2007 Ford Focus
By Stephanie m - May 2 - 8:33 pmThis was my first car, purchased for me in high school 2012 for $7,000 with 100,000 miles on it. It is now almost 2017 with 140,000 miles and I cannot be more excited to upgrade to a new car. This car is the loudest car I have ever driven. It sounds like the engine is going to explode at all times, not just when accelerating. The rear passenger side squeaks often, along with all pieces of the inside. I cannot speak to its performance with lower mileage, but after 100k I would not take my chances.

Fun drive, but - 2007 Ford Focus
By John - April 27 - 5:46 amThis car is enjoyable to drive, I have a long commute and needed good mpg. I would love to give this car all 10 rates but for one problem, there is a very irritating squeak from the back end that the dealer cannot seem to fix yet so quality and fun suffer. Mpgs are not up to advertised claims but still not bad.
