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.

Thumbs up 2009 Ford Focus Coupe vs Nissan Sentra.

I like this new car from Ford - 2009 Ford Focus Coupe but I am undecided, I think a competition of this ca is Nissan Sentra. I read many reviews about these cars and I can't decide for one of them. Now I am for Ford Focus ...but. I was impressed by the 2009 Ford Focus Coupe due to a review from the topspeed.com

Buy the Focus it's a Ford. It's American made you're keeping American money in the USA, and the Focus is a very well built car and very reliable. I own a 2006 ZX3 Focus my wife drives this car and she loves it, can't keep her out of it.

405 Focus owners now signed up. A good start, but more are needed to provide precise results for all model years.

For the details, and to help get your year included in the results:

We've updated the results for the Focus to include owner experiences through September 30, 2009. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 39, about average, close to "better than average"

2008: 65, about average

2007: 68, about average

2006: 34, better than average

2005: 47, better than average

2003: 117, about average

2002: 173, worse than average; based on results for other model years, the actual repair rate is probably a bit better than this

2001: 129, about average

2000: 113, better than average

We had sufficient sample sizes for the 2003, 2005, and 2007. The other results are asterisked and only visible to members on the site itself.

A big thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and fully cover all model years.
