2007 Ford Focus SE 5 door zx5 2.0 from North America
Summary:
More fun to drive that all the others
Faults:
Great car, replaced my wife's T-bird after almost 200k miles. Price for left over 07 is great (after combined 6K discount and rebate).
Love the car, back up light was out, dealer delivery prep was poor.
Have 2 other focus zx3'3, both my kids drive them to college - th e04 and 06 have been trouble free!.
Considered the Yaris, Matrix, PT Cruiser, Scion and Kia.
The price for a fully equipped SE with Safety and Auto was thousands less - bought mine for $11,900, new.
Love it and it is still fresh and likely the best economy car you can buy - the 5 doors are really hard to find now and I know will have the best value.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I find that when you own a Buick or Oldmobile, you kind of shock your system when you buy a Ford or Dodge. I can guarantee unless you purchased a lemon. That the Ford Focus Is an ideal car. Take it from me. Long time GM owner, purchased '04 focus on a whim. traded in year later because I was should I say shell shocked at the difference between it and my Buick Regal. 4 years later, I would do anything to get my Sangria Red 2004 Ford Focus (all options) back.
By the way the engine and transmission perform quite a bit different from every other car on the market. Its almost as if the rubber band is too tight and needs to stretch a little.
Really though, Good Luck with your car. I wish I could have mine.
