That is a sweet ride, for $23K that is a steal!

Its a blast to drive. I won't say its a lightweight at 3130lbs, but it certainly goes well. Chassis is definitely fun to toss. And on the plus side, it doesn't sound like a 4cylinder Honda. It sounds like a proper 4cylinder should.

Yeah, Ford did a really nice job with it. The cockpit looks a little small, how does it fit? Is your dog happy?

Haven't had a reason to put her in the car yet, but she's only 45lbs or so. Plenty of space for her with the seats down.

Cockpit is good, though the leg room is a bit tight for people more than 6ft tall.

And with the seats all the way back there is less leg room for passengers. Its a shorter wheelbase car than my last.

The G6 had so much leg room that If I moved the seat all the way back I could barely grab the wheel with my hands, and my feet were inches from the pedals.

But then again, thats explained away by comparing the wheelbases. My 06 G6 GTP's wheelbase was 112", the Focus is 104" so its 8" shorter. Explains the leg room changes.

For me its good though. I'm 6' even and I have plenty of leg room.

The Seats though. the SEATS!!! They are epic.
