Good running car

Nothig is wrong with it at all good strong car - 5.0
Perfect car in times with high gas prices
by KevintheFocus on Sunday, April 16, 2023
Bought a 2009 Focus SE from my sister for $1000. Rockers were starting to rot out, needed valve cover gasket and engine mounts. Cheap fix and simple enough to do yourself. She had purchased the car from the original owner and it had zero other issues. When I was T-boned I had 447,000kms. Was very upset because it was the best vehicle I've ever owned. Was easily getting 7 L /100kms loaded with supplies. Bought another as a commuter when I don't need my big diesel Excursion. - 5.0
2010 Ford Focus
by Grammy J on Sunday, March 26, 2023
I've had my ford Focus for years. I maintain my car yearly with oil changes, new wipers, all fluids and check belts. I love my Focus. Perfect fit for me as I am short. My granddaughter wants it when I've stopped driving it. It has some minor pain imperfections, but that was my fault.
