I bought one of these for my kid. It was a fleet car with 32K on it. I was kinda impressed with how sporty it was... not bad/not great but not bad. Of course she has managed to need three new front bumpers (sigh)... So it is safe as well. She managed to hit a dog, a deer and then someone hit her when she was parked... all in the space of six months. Yeah.. I thought it was a nice little cheap car for her to go to college with.

I'm trading in my 2008 Ford Focus for a Sonic hatchback with the 1.8 none turbo . Took the Sonic for a test drive yesterday and it handled way better than my focus . These little cars are not as bad as everyone thinks they are . Wish I was only paying $1000 Buy my focus is having a lot of issues and getting $2,500 off and getting the Sonic for $6,500 is a good deal to me . The saved gas is worth it alone. My focus was averaging 21.5 miles combined and the transmission is getting ready to go out on it . And I've owned my focus since 2011 and it has 106.349 miles no rust at all .

Was a one owner and zero wrecks. You can get amazing deals on these cars. 1.4l doesn't even need timing belt since its got a chain.

They supposedly took design cues from a sport bike (headlight design and instrument pod). I always wanted one in Dragon Green ('15 and '16). Rare color. I never drove one in stick. That probably would be fun. So, are you missing FL weather yet? It just now turned nice down there. (I live in both TN and FL, and travel back & forth often).
