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.

Might be a faulty wiring problem behind the instrument panel. Or a relay is acting up.

I forgot to mention the power locks-unlock & lock all by themselves. Several times I've looked outside at night & dome light is on. By the time I get outside the light maybe off or still shinin bright. Its crazy. Think Ford should of named Phatom instead of Focus. Going to pull instrument cluster this weekend. I'll let ya know how it goes.
