Ford Focus Overall, it feels cushier than other compacts, both in terms of its comfortable seats and its soft suspension. It's fun to drive, however, with agile handling. It's comfortable on long trips and stable at high speeds. The Focus is among the best of the compacts in terms of ride quality and has been lauded by the enthusiast publications for its handling.

my 2000 focus has been shaking like it had a busted belt in a tire. The tires are 3 months old and i noticed on the RR only the tire was choppy completly around. Could this be a shock problem a wheel bearing or something else? Please advise!

I would suspect that the rear dog bone on that side may be bent and need to be replaced. It makes the tire all choppy because the alignment of that wheel is off. so you'll need an alignment if you change it. have the other side checked as well. And unfortunately you may need to repalce that tire.
