Ford Focus: GOOD or BAD car?

I want to purchase a 4 doors Ford Focus but people have told me that Ford Focus auto parts are very expensive and Ford Focus are not good car.

While Ford makes some nice performance sedans, that does not make them muscle cars or tuners. The ST version is impressive and there were some other SVT versions earlier but they fall into a class of cars called "Sleepers". Lets face it 252 hp in that light of a car is a force to be reckoned with. There are those who use them as tuner's, but out of the box it needs little and most of those that try improving it will ruin it. With the current model being assembled in Wynne Mi, it can't be considered an import in the US. The Ford Focus has above average overall quality and reliability. Replacement parts, and service and maintenance costs in general, are far less expensive than most all other automotive brands. Not the most reliable car but not the worst. What would steer me away is that they had problems with their brakes up to 05. Brakes are not something I would mess around with. Try a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic.
