Is a Ford Focus a good first car?
It would be a new 2014 titanium. Our family friend works for a dealer and could get us a great deal on one.
No, the Volkswagen golf is a much better option because it's a lot more fun to drive (it's peppier), and German engineering results in a much sturdier and robust car.
VW golfs are good cars the only problem is THEY ARE EXPENSIVE to buy in good condition new or used because dealers don't want to budge much (if at all) on their prices cause they don't make much money on them and owners of used ones tend to hold onto them for years and/or want as much as they can get for them since they paid so much for them!
… And that's not even mentioning how much any repairs might cost if anything goes wrong. Cause while most german cars are reliable everybody still knows they are expensive to fix if something does go wrong (new or used)
So I would DEFINITELY go with the focus… They are just as good (if not better) than a VW, they are very reliable (ford wouldn't have survived the bailout if they weren't), it'll be cheap to insure (so they're a great first car), dealers will be wanting to sell all 2014 models to make room for 2015 so they'll be ready to give you a good dea, and if you have an in with a guy who works at a ford dealership to give you an even better deal then all I can say is STOP WASTING TIME HERE AND GO BUY IT! LOL
Superbly styled, the sporty Focus covers a wide range of needs for many drivers. It covers all the bases, providing a mix of economy, style, and reliability. IMO nice, fun to drive first vehicle.
Good luck getting a car!
- I'm in high school and about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car So far I have looked into ford mustangs, I have a choice between a 2007 ford mustang gt with a 8 cylinder motor with automatic transmission, or I can get a 2013 mustang v6. My question is which of the two cars is a faster and louder car cause I would like to show it off and have heads turn by its engine as I drive off on the street. Thank you very much about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car?

- Is a Ford Focus a good first car? - 1 I'm going to college in a couple months and my parents got me a 2013 SE Focus automatic. Is it a good car? Reliable? Safe? Should I expect to pay high insurance? I think the car still has an original warranty if I'm not mistaken.
