I got the 2018 Focus because I did my homework. NON-Ecoboost and NON-CVT. $14,500 brand new. Paid extra $1000 for the larger alloy wheels and tires. Much less than Cruze, and I looked at Honda, Toyota and Nissan and you couldn't touch anything on the lot for less than $23K. It has 32K on the clock and has never been back to the dealer. I recently had my son help me change the oil and rotate the tires, he also has to keep it washed and interior clean. My son was lobbying for a Jeep Wrangler, but he is happy with the Focus and I told him when he gets his first legit job he can trade the Focus in for a $40K Jeep.
