I have a 2004 Ford Focus that's on it's last legs. The interior is pretty much shot, the body isn't in the best condition, and the engine has all sorts of funny issues. It's a manual, but I'm pretty sure my next car will be an automatic.

I've had it since brand new and never had any major issues with it. I think the most expensive repair was actually ironically done by the dealer, who repaired it for free. I'm seriously considering buying another Focus.

Before I go and test drive/ look around- I'm curious what you guys think. Do they ride/ handle well? How's the interior? Have you had any major issues with it?

Also, for anyone wondering- here's the brochure:
