I’m leasing a 2016 Ford Focus hatchback, the second in a row. I love everything about it, the comfort of the drivers compartment, the techy console and the rear trunk space for all my softball equipment........26 mpg in the city but poor on acceleration (not that I really care)

The tech angle is something I’m amazed by. These little pocket rockets are amazing. Sounds like yours doesn’t exactly live up to that name, but it gets you there. That all that’s needed.

Mine still gets a move-on when I need it to. It doesn’t do it by the old muscle car standards to be sure, but I can get out of the way of trouble if I need to.

I’m happy with my Mariner, but I do wish it had a bit more of the technical gadgets today’s cars do.

It has navigation, very adequate. It has a six cd bank. It doesn’t have blue tooth, but I’m not a big music guy, so that’s okay.

It does have the back up warning system, which I use constantly, so it does have some of the later gadgets.

It has the hybrid mileage reporting system and helps too. I use them. It taught me how to drive more reasoned, economically.

Thanks for your report.
