"The Focus is much greater than the sum of its parts."

"Handling refinement of the Focus is unsurpassed."

"I especially like the grab-and-pull door handles."

"All Focuses, the wagon in particular, have generous cargo holds."

"Plasticky trim bits fail to equal the rest of the car's overall quality."

"Has Ford Motor found and fixed everything?"

"Build quality was disappointing."

"Center armrest is mounted too high"

"Anemic base engine."

"The [Honda] Civic rides softer and is quieter than Focus."

"While its performance was lackluster compared to the Nissan [Sentra] and Chevrolet [Cavalier LS], the Focus still pulled strongly."

"[Focus' four-cylinder engines are] easily outpowered by the Neon's thrashier 150-horsepower four."

"Focus wagon is more enjoyable to drive than the Daewoo Nubira or Hyundai Elantra, or even the Chrysler PT Cruiser."

"Like an eager puppy, the Focus ZX3 begs to go for a ride and you're just as happy to comply."

"So much better than it has to be."

"Its ride motions are supple and absorbent, as if a road crew had carpeted the bumps."
