Thinking of buying the 2017 Ford Focus?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Ford Focus; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2017 Ford Focus, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Focus
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 907 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 10 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
What the figures tell you
The powertrain to know here is the 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 21 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.0 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $32.55 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 651 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $10.85 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $108.50 at our price setting.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
