Bought my first car… 2009 Ford Focus Zetec! Thoughts?

How much did you pay? I sold my 2010 Zetec S for £1300 a few years back and still think I let it go too cheap.

I got mine for £400! It had a wheel bearing issue but no other major problems.

£400? That’s a steal!

I know, right? Feels too good to be true sometimes!

You got lucky with that price. Absolute legend move.

Haha, definitely feeling lucky! It’s been great so far.

How many miles does it have?

It’s got 180k miles, but it’s been well-maintained.

Good-looking car. Congrats!

I had an older model and loved it. It’s a solid choice for a first car.

I had a 2010 Focus for 8 years. It was a workhorse. No complaints.

Enjoy it and drive safe. Great first car!

Congrats on the Focus! I’m driving a Fiesta right now but would love to upgrade to a Focus someday.

They’re great cars. Keep up with the maintenance, and it’ll last forever.

Fantastic car! Check out Ford-specific forums if you run into any issues. Tons of advice out there.

Highly recommend the Focus and even the Mondeo for first cars. Solid pick!

I miss mine. It was reliable and practical. Only issue was a random engine management fault due to loose soldering on the dashboard. Easy fix though!

Modern classic. You’ll love it!
