So Far, I Am Completely Satisfied With The Purchase I Made.Source: CarGurus...I smashed the gas and it went from 50 to 90, in a snap! There are several key things that I would like to point out, but there is ONE major one that was a big selling point for me and it wasn't the dealership, nor the friendliness of the sales/financing staff. This car actually "sold itself" as soon as I sat behind the wheel. For me, a guy that stands over 6' and weighs in around 220, I feared this car would be small and uncomfortable but it wasn't at all! There's plenty of leg room and head room to go around. I can't say the same for the backseat though. Thanks FMC for yet again going above... |

Why should I also consider these?
To put it bluntly, the 2010 Ford Focus is an aging design, up against some very tough, well-updated competition.
TheCarConnection.com recently pitted South Korea's Kia Forte against the 2010 Ford Focus and the 2010 Honda Civic, and while it was a close competition, they outperformed the Ford in certain aspects.
The Civic also offers more variety than the Focus, with multiple powertrains, including hybrid and natural gas.
The 2010 Focus also has to compete against the Mazda3, a perennial enthusiast favorite for its handling and build quality.
Comparatively, the Hyundai Elantra and Dodge Caliber aren't quite up to par compared to the other members in this pack in overall refinement and style.
However, since there is no hatchback or wagon model for the Focus, the impressive Mazda3, the Toyota Matrix (which is based on the Corolla), and the Honda Fit could all present viable alternatives to the Focus.
