Default Re: New Ford Focus

Question:
How long to you plan to keep the car?

Even cheapies like Hyundai's and Kia's are great cars till they get 100k on them.

If you're looking long term, maintenance/repair costs on VW, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volvo's will do them in.
Still they are popular cars, and nice ones at that, just be prepared to pay a little more when it goes to the shop.

Can't beat Honda or Toyota's for long term durability and fair maintenance costs but be prepared to pay a bit more for the purchase.

For the cost, I think the Ford Focus is a good deal.
Can't comment on the motor, a 2.0L Ti-VCT direct-injection I-4 engine is the only thing offered here.
