Cons

No pick up with tiny engine, Horrible oversteer

DEC

2007

I had to rent a Ford Focus while my regular vehicle was being fixed. I normally went with a Chevy Cavalier when one was available. I decided to drive the Focus, due in largely liking to test drive so to say the new kids on the block. First of all, I was horribly dissappointed with the color White. Second, the tires were really tiny. Third, the interier was so plain jane, and very cheap looking. Fourth, Ford didn't put an ashtray in the car. I was very upset about this. And this was before all the "No Smoking" BS started. I drove the car to work, then afterwards picked up a friend and we went to dinner. This was in the summer time and I had the A/C on (and not full speed). When we were returning from dinner, we went up a steep hill with the A/C on, and I had to literally put the gas pedal to the floor, and the car still wasn't moving anywhere. I almost got out and pushed the poor car. Since 2004, I haven't been very impressed with this car due to my previous bad experience. I am impressed with the 2008 versions. Even though that nasty chrome vent on the front fenders looks really gross. Unfortunately, Ford needs to step up its Design and Engineering departments. I would not recommend this car to anyone. I seriously thought about taking the car back and getting my old favorite stand by the Chevy Cavalier with more power by far.
