Cons: Plan replacing the front brakes every 30k miles. The base model is difficult to locate.
Bottom Line:
Ford Focus loss leaders with air conditioning are a bargain. In a market where the word value is overused, the base model Focus fits the bill. Read More

Bottom Line:
If you have an opportunity to buy this vehicle used, I think it's OK if your expectations are not too high. I wouldn't pay book for it though. Read More
