Q: I am thinking about a 2010 Ford Focus? TEN POINTS BEST ANSWER.?
The model I would like is 2010 Ford Focus SE Coupe or an S. I am 16 years old this would be my first car. I was thinking about getting the manual transmission because they are cheaper. How much more would I be paying for automatic transmission? I like the two door. Is this a good car? How much would I be paying for this? Is it fast? Is it smooth? I don’t know much about cars. I just want to know if this would be a good car for me.
I will pick best answer. Thanks in advance.
Britt
A: I don’t know about the price, but they are a VERY safe car (5 STAR EURO NCAP) The manual gear box is about the best because the automatic is very jerky when changing gear. Insurance group is low on the SE Model. The two door is a good choice, stylish and pretty quick. 0-62 MPH in 10.2 seconds.
The 1.8 boast a measly 118 BHP.
this should be a brilliant car for you, especially if its your first car.
Q: I need knowledgeable advise/input concerning buying a 2009/2010 Ford Focus…?
My wife and I are planning buying a new Ford Focus. The EXACT car we want is a dark grey 2009/2010 Ford Focus SES sedan with 17″ wheels. Neither of us has ever bought a new car and I know there is some “wheeling & dealing” to be done. Here’s my question: with $2000 down + all the offers & rebates, is a $250/month payment for 72 months possible? Any experts on this subject or better yet, Ford salespeople please advise. Thanx!
A: You should be able to pull it off.
With all the offers and rebates ($1500 bonus cash plus the $1000 customer rebate that are both running until 6/30/09) the price for a fully loaded ‘09 Focus should be right around $17,400. ( I used www.carsdirect.com to get the pricing).
Even without putting anything down, paying 6% interest on that $17,400 car (+ tax and license) for 72 months would give you a payment of roughly $272/mo. Knock off the $2000 you’re putting down and assume 6% interest again and you’d be looking at about $242/mo for 72 months. Haggle them down at all and your payment would be a little lower still.
Q: 2010 Ford focus question? All wheel drive?
Hey, I’m considering doing the cash for clunkers and getting a Ford focus. My only problem is i live in New England and the winters here aren’t friendly. Is it possible for me to get the Ford focus and get 4 wheel or all wheel drive installed? If not, does anyone know a car that’s good on fuel and has 4 wheel drive? thank you!
A: my brother is in the auto business so i asked him. he said:
“subaru is a good choice. That or the toyota rav4 or the honda CRV. Those are the best I can think of off the top of my head”
edit: “also some mitsubishi eclipses come with 4 wheel drive but the have a lot of power and may not be great for winter. I think suzukis have all wheel drive too.
Q: Brand new 2010 Nissan sentra SR or new 2010 Ford focus?
in need of help of deciding between these two cars. i was able to go to ford and test drive the focus. it was pretty good. still need to test drive Nissan. i have narrowed down to these two company’s. reason why ford is because my dad found a deal on a focus for 18 or 19 grand brand new with power lock doors…like a standard car, but i hate ford!! Nissan seems like a good brand, so I’m deciding to go with a sentra, and plus it’s not that expensive. so yeah in need of help deciding to which car to get
-going to be my first car and my dad wants me to get a brand new one for the good.
A: Those are both good cars and you will probably like either one. I have a Focus and have never had a problem with it. Actually Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are better cars and as a result have better resale value.
Q: 2010 Mazda 3 Hatchback vs. 2010 Nissan Sentra SR vs. 2010 Ford Focus SES?
I’m planning to buy a new car and have it narrowed down to 3 possibilities and am looking for opinions to help narrow it down even further. I am looking to pick one by the end of this weekend. I am trying to keep my budget under 21k out the door.
Option #1 : Mazda 3 Hatchback. Dealer quoted me a price of $19,000 before tax/tag/dealer fees. This, at the moment atleast, is at the top of my list. It is also just within my budget (probably just under 21,000 out the door) and there isn’t much chance of lowering the price any further. Seems of the options to be the best in quality, safety, and reliability according to my research so far. I also like the looks of this car the best of all of them.
Option #2 : Nissan Sentra SR. I have a quote from a dealer of $18,300 out the door (they came down to 18,000 from the sticker plus 2,000 in rebates) for an SR with the Convenience Package (basically smartkey). I might consider dropping the Convenience Package to save another 1000+. Traction control and stability control are options that I’d have to add on for another $300 or so. Also the braking distance is worse then the Mazda. No roadside service under the warranty like the other two. Reliability and quality may be an issue here also, but there is also a $3,000+ difference in the price. The Mazda salesperson had basically nothing good to say about it and seemed shocked I was even comparing the two (although they are in the same price range and have most of the same options without rebates). The Ford salesperson didn’t seem to want to comment other then he thought it was a fine car.
Option #3 : Ford Focus SES (if the dealer near me gets one in soon). No dealer quote on this one yet since they didn’t have any in stock, but taking the price listed through Ford’s website plus $1,500 in rebates would put it in the same range as the Mazda 3 pricewise. This is the one I have the least information on at the moment, but seems like it’d be similar in quality and options to the Mazda.
There is also the option of a 2009 Dodge Charger SXT. They are offering huge rebates for the few remaining 2009’s and it’d make the car roughly 19,000-20,000 before tax/title/fees. But as far as reliability goes it may not be worth considering. Plus the only ones available are white, sandstone, or silver.
A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.yoll.net
Q: would a 15×6.5 rim fit on my 2010 ford focus s?
I just bought the ford focus 4 day ago. and I was looking at rims online for it, it said that the wheels that are on it has a Bolt Pattern: 4X108 and the will size: 15×6, but when I look for rims that will fit that bolt pattern I can’t find any 15×6, I can only find 15×6.5 would they fit on my focus? ’cause I really don’t want to have to buy new tires since these are brand new.
A: The extra 0.5 inches of bead width will not hurt anything and your existing tires will fit fine. The only critical thing to check is the wheel offset. If the offset is wrong then the tire may rub against the tierod ends or the ball joints.
Q: Ford focus warranty voiding?
what exactly will void the 2010 focus coupe’s warranty?
i want to put
cold air intake
cat-back exaust system
body mods like spoilers, hood scopes ect
also maybe in the future a turbo charger
what will and wont void the warrenty?
A: Depends on the dealer, but the turbo will void power train, body kit won’t, Never had an issue with cold air unless the compressions down then we don’t warranty them
Q: what do you think about the new 2010 ford car features?
What do you think about the new features,
Do you think its better, worse, ??????
DETROIT – So you think junior is a little too lead-footed when he drives the family car? Starting next year, Ford Motor Co. will give you the power to do something about it.
The company will roll out a new feature on many 2010 models that can limit teen drivers to 80 mph, using a computer chip in the key.
Parents also have the option of programming the teen’s key to limit the audio system’s volume, and to sound continuous alerts if the driver doesn’t wear a seat belt.
“Our message to parents is, hey, we are providing you some conditions to give your new drivers that may allow you to feel a little more comfortable in giving them the car more often,” said Jim Buczkowski, Ford’s director of electronic and electrical systems engineering.
The feature, called “MyKey,” will be standard on an unspecified number of Ford models when the 2010 cars and trucks come out late next summer. The feature will spread to the entire Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lineup as models are updated, spokesman Wes Sherwood said.
Ford arrived at the 80 mph limit even though freeway speed limits are lower in most states because it wanted to leave a margin in case an unusual situation arises, Buczkowski said. In some states, freeway speed limits are above 70 mph, Sherwood said.
“Just lopping it off at exactly 70 mph was felt to be too limiting,” Buczkowski said.
The company already uses computer chips in its keys to prevent thefts. The car won’t start unless it recognizes the chip in the key.
“It’s making use of existing technology, and through the magic of software, we’re able to build features on top of the features we already have,” Buczkowski said.
In addition to speed limits, MyKey also will limit the volume of the audio system, and it will sound a six-second chime every minute if seat belts are not fastened. The chime sounds for adult drivers, too, but ends after five minutes to avoid annoying adults who adamantly don’t want to wear seat belts, Buczkowski said.
Parents also have the option of having the car sound a chime if the teen exceeds 45, 55 or 65 mph.
The feature will debut on the 2010 Focus compact car and quickly move to other company models as a standard feature, the company said.
Ford said its market research shows 75 percent of parents like the speed and audio limits, but as you might expect, 67 percent of teens don’t like them.
Danisha Williams, a 16-year-old senior at Southfield-Lathrup High School in suburban Detroit, said she’s against the idea.
“I wouldn’t want my parents to have that much control over how I’m driving,” she said. “If your parents are holding your hand, you’re never going to learn.”
Brittany Hawthorne, 17, another Southfield-Lathrup senior, said there may be emergency situations where she’d have to drive more than 80, possibly to accelerate to avoid a crash.
Ford’s research shows that parents would be more likely to let teens use their vehicles with the system, Sherwood said, and if it gets them the car more often, the number of teens objecting drops by nearly half.
A top official from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a research group funded by the auto insurance industry that is pushing to raise the minimum driving age to 17 or 18, found the key intriguing and said she was not aware of any other manufacturer offering such a feature. IIHS says car crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers.
“Research we’ve done has shown that speeding is a major factor in teen crashes, especially novice teen drivers,” said Anne McCartt, the institute’s senior vice president for research. “So I think a system that tries to correct the speeding behavior has the potential to improve safety.”
More than 5,000 U.S. teens die each year in car crashes. The rate of crashes, fatal and nonfatal, per mile driven for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the rate for drivers ages 30 to 59, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Several U.S. auto insurers have begun offering in-car cameras or global positioning equipment to help parents monitor their teens’ driving behavior, in the hope of reducing the number of crashes.
A: I belive what Fords doing is great. And the features are very cool with a tunable speed limiter and audio limiter. thats a parents dream which might boost sales. All this besides the rest of the new AWSOME features like the aluminum ball shifter and new engines.o man the new stang will be great. But besides te new stang. Ford is starting to finally realize what will sell and improving safty is a GREAT start.

Q: 2009 Ford Focus SES or 2010 Toyota Corolla Ce?
I could get a fully loaded 09 Focus for the same price as a pretty bare boned Corolla. I’m having a hard time deciding…I know ppl think the world of toyota but reviews have shown that the focus is a good car too. I think the focus is nicer but the toyota might be true to it’s reputation. What would you guys do?
A: The 2009-2010 Ford Focus is a copy of the popular 2004-2009 Mazda 3, which proved to be better than the new 09 Toyota Corolla in a comparison test on www.edmunds.com/insideline in the videos section.
That is why the new Ford Focus has good reviews. Ford owns 20% of Mazda so they can use Mazda parts in their cars. The Ford Focus has the same suspension and similar handling and weight and and many other mechanical parts as the Mazda, making it a very reliable car.
According to the 2009 April Issue of Comsumer Reports magazine, Honda is the most reliable, with Subaru as 2nd and Toyota as third and Mazda was in 4th place.
So the Ford Focus, being a Mazda 3, is a great car.
You can’t go wrong with the Focus or Corolla.
Q: Where can i find cute floor mats and accessories for my new car?
Im buying a 2010 ford focus ses coupe and i get it in September! It’s going to have mostly all of the upgrades including the leather seats and the 5 piece body kit with the graphics. I want to get cute accessories for inside of it. I’ve looked at Walmart and Canadian Tire. Where else can i look? I need a bumper sticker too! I live in Canada BTW.
A: wal Mart!
Q: Can I Install A Navigation System In My Car?
Hi, I recently bought a 2010 Ford Focus SES and I was wondering if it is possible to install a ***In-dash*** navigation system in my car that will fully work. I have family and friends that are all spread out through the U.S. and i want to visit them. So tell if yes tell me what manufactor should I buy the navi from and were to can I install it. Thank You.
A: Ok, Metra makes a replacement dash kit for the 08-09 ford focus. After comparing the pictures of the 2010 model, it looks like it will work fine. I would call Metra and see if their is any problems with the 2010 model. The kit has an option for a “double-din” unit that is great for indash navigation systems. The price ranges online from $35.00 to $90.00, just make sure its a new unit, you will also need a wire harness and antenna adapter. I think that the 2010 comes with ford SYNC, if it does, you will loose that feature. If you have steering wheel controls you may need to buy an adapter to keep them.
As for a brand, that is up to you. I like Alpine, Kenwood and Pioneer units. Their is a link for an Alpine unit that I want, but you do need to buy a navigation module, Bluetooth, Sat Radio or what ever you need. Also try calling crutchfield they can help you with finding the best unit that has the options that you want.
As for someone to install it. Any MECP installer should be good. Just check labor waranties. And if you are going to be traviling alot, I would check Best Buy because they are nation wide if you have any problems. Just save your recept because sometimes they wont help you if you dont have it.
Hope this helps?
Q: Lucas Oil Stabilizer in NEW cars?
I use Lucas Oil Stabilizer in our 1997 Cavalier and my sis-in-law’s 2001 Focus and it does a good job at keeping those high mileage engines smooth & quiet. I read on the bottle it can be used in brand new engines to keep them “newer” longer. My wife and I plan on buying a 2009 or 2010 Focus SES and I want to take the best care of the motor I can… I will be using Mobile 1 engine oil and I noticed Lucas makes a synthetic version of the oil stabilizer… If there are any gearhead gurus out there please give me your opinions. Thanx!
A: Rob is dead on target. I use Amsoil myself, not Mobil One. Mobil is a great product, but Amsoil has better test results.
Lucas makes a great line of products too, but if you maintain your car as reccomended, you shouldn’t really need the Lucas in a new car.
Q: Do you think Ford has a good vehicle lineup?
I know Ford did not take a bailout like GM, but I wonder if they can stay afloat..Their cars and SUV’s seem to fall behind other brands just as bad if not worse than GM…..With the Ford Expedition, Explorer and Sport Trac won’t they eventually have to let one of those go..they aren’t selling that well..Also the new 2010 Focus is supposed to be a break through for them..only problem is the SHO edition is msrp of over $37,000..why not just buy a top of the line Honda or Toyota? Even a low end Lexus?..Maybe the Ford Fiesta will be a hit?…What’s your opinion.I seem them as an overpriced vehicle that falls far behind the competition.
A: I think that Ford North America’s lineup is confused and misdirected, and that brands like Mercury and Lincoln further confuse it.
Ford’s best lineup in terms of vehicles is in Australia where they sell:
Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Falcon
Escape, Territory, Ute, Transit and Ranger
http://www.ford.com.au
The only real blur is that the Mondeo and the Falcon compete on price terms, and that the Mondeo is virtually the same car as the Mazda 6.
Personally I own a 2001 Ka, which is a smaller Fiesta with slightly more positive handling.
North America needs the Fiesta. You can choose to laugh at such a small car, but the truth is that most of the time you don’t need to be hauling around empty space, and the handling is utterly brilliant.
