The 2014 Ford Focus for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2014 Ford Focus for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2014 Ford Focus, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 2,659 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, engine and fuel/propulsion system.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 7.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.94. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,220 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Focus makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 651 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Focus on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Focus for a week and see how it fits your life.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.94 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,220 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Does the 2014 Ford Focus have recalls?
NHTSA lists 14 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.

Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
