| See here: They can be OK with the manual and much cheaper than a Toyota/Honda, but for a first car and making it into high mileage relatively trouble free I’d still look at a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic if budget permits: those are better built and at the higher mileages you won’t feel the rattles as much as that focus. | |||||

| I would not put money into a Ford focus sedan with nearly 200k miles. It isn't worth anything and you would need to put serious money into it to make it a sleeper. You would need, at a minimum: 1. New motor - that one won't hold up under stress 2. New transmission 3. New suspension 4. New brakes 5. Turbo or supercharger 6. FWD to RWD conversion 7. A TON of modules replaced The list is extremely lengthy. Depending on how fast you want to go, you're looking at anything from $30k+ to get it built right, tuned, DECENTLY reliable. I mean, not a Fo ... | |||||
| 09 Focus excessive rattling | 24Relevance | 5 years ago | 7.3PunchInA3.4 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The reason I ask this is because I know there are quite a few focus owners here on the forum.. One of the many Fords in the driveway is a 2009 focus SE Sedan, with 280,000 miles. The car has been absolutely bulletproof, and even though it is nearing the end of its life, I still love it. After 9 years (Got it used with about 40K miles) of commuting 80-100 miles a day, it still does a local daily commute. The only problem I have with the car is it sounds like a maracca. Every little thing rattles, wether its the dash, vents, steering column, etc. And you prob ... | |||||

| Ford focus 1.5 diesel turbo zetec 2016 Scotty, my name is Andrew Parker i live over in England and own a little 1.5 turbo diesel ford focus from 2016. Its a great car in good shape with no codes. Im also a biker with a zrx1100 that ive worked on myself its never seen a shop and is going through some restoration. My focus has no code no problems and no worries accept the slight lack of bite. Im of course aware its a 1.5l not a 3l v8 lol but was thinking about the stage 1 tune that takes her from 120bhp and 275nm torque to 150bhp and 333nm torque but wanted t ... | |||||
| Answer to: Head Gasket Blown and Repaired - Long Term Life Expectancy Concerns? | 18Relevance | 2 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... tho. a US focus or a Euro focus? I would not count on that out of any modern car. You know what they say about assuming... We do not know what's the history of the car - if it was sold with a leaking head then the engine internals can be in bad shape. It requires disassembling the engine and looking inside to determine how it's looking. I'd considering selling it after it's all repaired and buying a different car if you want to keep it that long. | |||||
| Answer to: 2013 ford focus st manual | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | AD99 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Those are decent - the manual transmission is a big benefit. If you're talking about buying a higher mileage one, I would not recommend it. They're usually pretty trouble free until around 90K or so miles but then stuff starts to break. Check out this focus ST forum page for more info: If you want a fun-to-drive little car, I suggest you look at a 2013-2015 Honda Civic Si. They are not as fast as a focus ST, but they will last much much longer with minimal issues - they can easily go 150K+ miles trouble free. | |||||

| Ah the 'ol Maracca! The 09-10 focus! Trust me - mine borderline required hearing protection. The vibrations depend on the temperature, because the cheap plastic everywhere expands and contracts. I started sticking wads of paper into openings and was at least able to get the radio to stop. Get her scanned and check for stored codes. Not sure why your focus died going over tracks, never had that problem. Could you have been low on fuel? That intrigues me... Those things drive forever, but they rattle. I got 289K miles out of my 09. | |||||

| So again the final out the door price does also depend on your location as far as taxes and fees etc. What I would suggest is focus on the car itself; it's $21,550 plus exact amount of $1095 destination fee which everyone has to pay. Then focus on the OTD price; it'll be title and registration, dealer doc fee, taxes (double check these numbers/percentages before you go in so you know what they should be). If she wants a specific color some colors are a bit more expensive (around $400 ish). Also, if she wants a particular package or all weather mats etc. thos ... | |||||
| Answer to: More likely to be reliable, new Ford Maverick hybrid or Toyota Tundra turbo? | 18Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... but almsot all Ford non-turbo engines are called that, is that engine a Kent? Sigma? Zeta? Modular? MZR? Cyclone? all of these were called "DuraTech" no info on what's this one. That powertrain has been around for 5 years on the Lexus LS500, but I'd still recommend waiting a bit more. I can not call it a safe choice - it's a smaller gamble than a Maverik. Ford Maverick hybrid or Toyota Tundra One is a Ford focus (C2 platform) without a boot, the other is a Toyota Sequoia (TNGA-F platform) without a boot. Choosing between a Maverik and a Tundra two ... | |||||

| The guy in the vid is wrong, here's my response to his main points: The Citroën can its isn’t “unbeaten”, he shows a clip out of the video where the car got tested and reached only 73kmh - on the best attempt.Just for contrast; the best attempt on a regular modern car like a Ford focus was 83kmh And than he talks about how rear weight causes the rear to be less controllable, that’s just usually is not the case - usually you’d want more weight on the rear, especially in a wagon (on the old focus wagon that’s made a huge difference - you'd get more ... | |||||
