We have enjoyed our Focus wagon. It is an economical way to cart around our 2 young children. It is easy to handle and park, yet it provides tons of cargo area for our inevitable trips to the Warehouse club and grocery store. We bought ours used last year for around 10,000 dollars with just over 15,000 miles. We haven't had any problems with it so far. Our one major gripe is that it does not have cruise control. This is only an issue on long trips though, and we rarely drive long distances in this car. Another major advantage is that the climate controls are very effective and quick to cool or heat the car, which is good for little children. This is by no means a luxury vehicle, but it is practical and doesn't cost much to buy or maintain, and that is important to our family.
