    The car is exactly what i expected for the money i spent. Good looking, fun to drive, enough interior room. No problems to report yet, after 5ooo miles.

    GREAT PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING, IT IS THE WIFES CAR, HOWEVER IT IS A BLAST TO DRIVE. GOOD LOOKING WITHOUT TOO MUCH RACE CAR LOOK.

  • Better than dodge by a mile. - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    A fun car to drive great performance 1/4 mile numbers for it have been so different but my personal experiance with my car and im a avid drag racer legally of course know that the three door which no one seems to test for god knows why is way better than a five door counterpart in performance issues anyway i havent even seen a five on the streets only three so write about it instead as far as the neon goes if i slapped a turbo on my focus which by the way has a smaller motor and is naturally aspirated and still keeps up with the dodge the focus would smoke the neon srt-4.

  • fun focus wagon - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    My wife and i love to take golf vacations. The Focus wagon gives us plenty of room for two sets of clubs, luggage, coolers etc. Its a lot of fun to drive, has great pickup, and excellent gas mileage. I f you live in a place where you get cold winters, go for the heated seats, youll love them. Excellent value for the money, I highly recomend it!

  • Love the space - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    This car is comfy to drive, with lots of cargo space. I love the large rear window so I can see out back. From the beginning I have had some skidding probs with the tires and now at 28000 miles am told I need new ones. Thats disappointing.

  • 2004 Focus SVT - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    This car lives up to all the positive reviews its earned from all major publications. Its a total hoot to drive - and you get a $2500 rebate to boot! This car flies, handles like a dream and is functional too - guaranteed to put a grin on your face. The only bad news - you may not be able to find any 2004s left - maybe a 2 door here or there.... and Ford isnt making a 2005 SVT Focus (go figure). If you can find one, dont hesitate - buy it. My car has the audiophile system and sunroof, all for under $18K after the rebate. And you get to blow the doors off almost all the Civic, Eclipse, Impreza and Jetta drivers out there.

  • Focus on Focus - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    My Focus handles great! The size is just right. The drive is always smooth! In fact, the ride was so smooth I had to have my brother test drive it, because I was used to cars that you felt every bump. I have received many compliments from family and friends about how nice my Focus looks and rides!
