Since its launch the Focus has won over 60 awards including 13 Car of the Year awards in both Europe and North America, and more recently, the best family car ever (Autocar UK 2003). The Focus was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for five consecutive years (2000 through 2004).
The North American version has been a favorite of Car and Driver magazine, which has elected it to its Ten Best list every year since its introduction in 2000. Motor Trend magazine has also given the Focus favorable reviews, writing comments like "As entry-level sedans go, few can touch Ford's Focus on the fun-to-drive front."
In 2001 and 2002, Focus was the world’s best selling car.
The Focus also won the subcategory of Best Compact Family Car in the same awards."
Nothing wrong with a Focus, especially as a daily driver.
There a great car, meant for daily driving, if you use it for what they made for, like most civics as well.
Only thing a focus should have in mod's is stereo and tint, unless your planing to drop lots of money into the motor, I mean lots, for not so good track numbers in the end.
