Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Affordable, mostly reliable, decent fuel consumption, wagon is spacious with no similar entry level competition
Cons: Cheap looking and feeling, coarse drive, dull.
The Bottom Line: If price is your main consideration, shop carefully and it should be perfectly serviceable.
If a well built compact car that is also FUN is your goal perhaps look elsewhere.

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice handling. Excellent standard equipment sound system. High driver's position due to seat design.
Cons: Mediocre mileage for vehicle class. Poor fit and function. Brakes squeal even when new.
The Bottom Line: If you have an opportunity to buy this vehicle used, I think it's OK if your expectations are not too high. I wouldn't pay book for it though.

I have owned the station wagon form of the 2004 Ford Focus for 3 years now, and she has been great! I have put her through the ringer, literally. I drive her for 125 miles a day, at least half down gravel roads on a delivery route, and also
