Used Ford Focus for Sale in Lafayette, LA

The 2014 Ford Focus is an exceptional car. It offers me dependability at a great price. The repairs are very affordable and cost-efficient. The scheduled maintenance is also very affordable. This car is gets great gas mileage. With over 30 miles per gallon, I have fewer trips to the gas station. Don't let the size fool you. It is compact, but offers ample room with fold down back seats and a huge trunk area. The computerized display lets you know how many miles until empty and so much more. It pretty much tells you when maintenance and repair is needed. Which in some cases can seem quite often. I have had to change the brakes often. which could lead me to believe some of the parts or not of high quality. The small cylinder engine can also be somewhat of a drag to drive if you like to go faster. It takes a lot for this car to reach high speeds. All in all, I would recommend this car for its practicality and dependability, just don't expect too any thrills.

I have owned my 2011 Ford Focus SEL for almost five years. The reason I purchased the vehicle is because I wanted a car that is low maintenance and reliable. My Focus has exceeded my expectations. I have put a lot of miles on the car and it still runs like I just drove it off the lot. It only requires the normal periodic maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations. The car came with an excellent sound system and is Bluetooth capable. Both of these are important because of the amount of travelling I do in the car. But the car is not very sturdy. If you back into something, the bumper would crumble. I have been rear-ended twice in that car and both times the bumper had to be replaced. Also the car is two small for those with a family. If you have to travel with people other than yourself, there is going to be a great deal of discomfort. I drove from Mississippi to Georgia with four people in the car and it was very uncomfortable, especially if three are of the four people are full grown adults. Also, the car is not suited for larger people. I also wish that it accelerated a little faster. It takes forever to get up to 60mph unless you push the petal to the floor. One of the coolest things about the car is that interior lights in the floor. By pressing a button, you can change the color.
