What year was the first Ford Focus S?
I’m in the market for a used car, but I’m not really willing to spend more than $3,500. My friend said that his older-model Ford Focus S has been super reliable and it fits my price range. To save the most money, what was the first year of the Ford Focus S?

Finding a
used car
for $2,000 or less is always a challenge, but your friend is right. The Ford Focus S
is a great option—although the Focus debuted in 2000, the first Ford Focus S hit showrooms in 2005.As an entry-level car from the mid-2000s, the Focus S is more of a bare-bones vehicle than most drivers may be used to. But it still comes with some decent offerings considering that it goes for an average price of about $3,000:
- A 136-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine
- Up to 32 mpg
- An AM/FM stereo with a CD player
- 15-inch wheels
- Dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags
- A perfect five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
