2016 Ford Focus Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, Ford Focus owners are quite satisfied with their cars, praising their smooth rides, great fuel economy, and sporty handling. Many felt it is reliable and packed with modern features. However, some drivers mentioned concerns with the engine's responsiveness and issues with the gearshift being too smooth, leading to occasional mistakes when changing gears."
This car is Excellent overall. It has good features and is a good value.
December 13, 2025Just bought this car yesterday! It runs super quiet, and shifts incredibly smoothly. Air works so well I had to turn it off for a bit because I got cold. Gearshift is a little tricky, it moves almost too smoothly and makes it pretty easy to shift into the wrong gear by mistake, but I imagine that will be just a case of muscle memory. 55k miles, but looks and drives like new. Overall, very excited to make this car mine!
June 17, 2020Extremely fun to drive and reliable. I would own another Focus ST in a heartbeat.

October 14, 2024The Ford Focus handles really well and has quick acceleration. A very smooth ride for a short wheel base. The seats are comfortable and the controls are at your fingertips. Im confident it will serve me well for many years.
July 21, 2022Great small car, especially in hatchback form. Sporty, economical, and reliable.
November 1, 2020The 2016 Focus SE has most of your modern amenities and is fairly comfortable to drive. Im a larger person, 63, and this is one of the few cars where I had to push my seat forward a bit. Sync is usually pretty spot on for media and the climate control is pretty standard. Engine isnt as tough as some others. I upgraded from a 2008 Focus, and even though the new engine has more get-up-and-go, the older engine felt more responsive. Very good car, though. Definitely know Im gonna drive it into the ground.
January 3, 2022got mine with low miles and good price. Runs great and is gas friendly.
April 20, 2020Features were fine, drove good. Was concerned with 2 accidents on the car fax.
