4. 2013 Ford Focus
First-time car buyer will always include cost when it comes to selecting cars, and on this count the 2013 Ford Focus easily gets the job done. The Focus is priced in the same price range as the 2013 Honda Civic, and also offers a comparable performance including gas mileage. The base trim of the Ford Focus gets an estimate 38 mpg for highway driving which directly competes with other compact cars in the market. Aside from price, the 2013 Ford Focus should also work with a new driver thanks to its responsive handling and control, communicative steering and reliable brakes that can be helpful in busy city streets. One notable problem with the Focus is the difficulty to control the car when turning, thus making it a challenge to park the Focus in a tight parking space.
