| Congratulations on reaching more than 250K on the focus. My surmise is that this is not common, for the focus. What should you do? I'd get a general diagnostic inspection of the vehicle, a holistic appraisal, before sinking any serious money into the car. How much rust on the frame? What is the wet and dry compression of the engine? How's the HVAC? And so forth. Get that done, first, by a good diagnostic mechanic who isn't trying to make a fast buck on the vehicle. Then decide where you'll go, from there. | |||||

| ... manual Duratec ford focus wagons. You can get them cheap with low mileage and they’re usually decent between 60k-130k miles. They’re very good workhorses. ive had a lot of these when I was running a fleet. i have a 2014 Ford focus automatic and expect for the famously jerky powershift the car seems to be great. | |||||

| focus ST? Forget about it, Ford doesn't know how to make small cars. Genesis? They fall apart after 100k miles, generally before then Civic SI is the way to go. I recommend 2013-2015 years to avoid the 1.5T oil dilution issues. For more in-depth opinions of each, type "Focus" "Genesis" and "Civic si" into the search bar. | |||||
| How does seat base inclination angle affect driver comfort? | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | etre2244 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... your butt. Question to forum: what is your observation, knowledge, or experience with respect to this question? Restated in objective form, my question is: do different car manufacturers tend to use front seats with specific seat base inclination angles with respect to the horizontal plane? The reason I ask this question is because I feel it's relevant to my car buying decision process. The questions that I am trying to answer for myself are: 1. Are Honda seats different enough from other manufacturers' seats that I should focus on Honda for my upcoming ... | |||||

| @nlord Yep, I agree with her, I did the same. My daily driver, for the last 2 years, is a Ford focus with the dreaded Powershift because it was much cheaper, drives much better, had very low miles, much newer and bigger then other cars in my budget. Like the rouge the focus has a major flaw with it's dual clutch transmission, but I just don't mind paying and swamping in a refurbished/new transmission in hopefully at least another 50k-60k miles once this one begins to crunch or have internal issues - even factoring the price of a new transmission it's also ju ... | |||||

| ... is it possible to repair?) Forgiving ride (Something that can handle inexperienced driver's mistakes) Usually I advise to look at family sedans or possibly maybe smaller hatchbacks. I do not know what's the pricing in the Netherlands, but usually a good pick is a 2004 - onwards MANUAL 2nd Generation Ford focus (not Automatic) with a naturally aspirated 1.6-2.0 petrol engine - but make sure it doesn't have high kilometrage. Another possibility is the older Citroen C4 petrol with a manual, these are not really reliable but like the focus it's a good ca ... | |||||

| As someone who owned a lot of Ford’s (currently a last gen Ford focus and a Volvo form the Ford era) and plans on buying the new Ford Puma (or the Renault Captur). the reason I keep buying Ford’s is cause they’re built reasonably well (for what you’d find on the European market) if you’re comparing a Fiat Tipo to the new Ford focus, or a Citroën Cactus to a Ford Fiesta the answer is obvious. they're very cheap to buy and the last about the same as other junk told here while offering often better reliability and a better driving experience. | |||||

| Merry Christmas, I have a 2006 Honda Ridgeline and the left rear bearing has gone out, I have found out that this year Ridgeline doesn't have a bearing hub assembly which includes the bearing and lug nuts.

| Opinions on my dad's old show car | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Bmanswan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty I recently was passed down a unique one of a kind show car, pictures in link above. It's a 2002 Ford focus se wagon with an automatic transmission and 150k miles on the odometer. Its been babied for the ten years my dad owned it. Recently just had a blower motor go out and the exhaust manifold has a crack in it. Aside from the two fixes needed is it worth driving and keeping around, I want to make sure I can depend on it and it won't cost me much for replacement parts. Thanks again! | |||||

| @inthedetails I will give your suggestion a try. I’m a retired cop, I don’t like to cause conflict . When picked up the focus the first time they gave a big song & dance about how great of a shop they where. Then after I drove the focus for two miles when started running poorly and stalling with the check engine light flashing, I called a towing company and paid have the car towed back, they kept the car for four business days to tell me their “mistake” | |||||
| Answer to: Looking for a Hybrid... Which do I Pick? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| if you’re completely certain that you want a hybrid, get a Toyota CH-R hybrid, Corolla hybrid or a Prius. All other hybrids just aren’t that good. if you’re not so sure on getting a hybrid:As someone who is a college student and commutes a lot, and owns a focus. When I calculated what would be more economical, i found that with my yearly mileage (about 10k miles) getting a hybrid as opposed to keeping my current daily would save me only about 75 bucks a month. when I looked at this, I decided to add 75 bucks to my fuel budget and get a Volvo 🤣 ... | |||||
