It was 3:45pm at this point, and we needed to be there before 5pm to pick up our rental skis. There wasn’t a lot of time to get to know the car before we set off on our drive out of Reno towards Heavenly / Lake Tahoe. Alright! It was right then that I knew that this might not be so bad after all. What Budget actually gave us was a fully-optioned SE model with all the sporty bits like gray aluminum wheels, leather interior, and that cool red paint to match. But it got even better – once I actually saw the car, I realized that this was not the stripped-down and soulless Foucs I had envisioned in my head. There’s no better color on a car IMHO, so at least it would have that going for it.
They told me at the counter that it was red, which instantly raised my spirits. She’s far more practical smart than I am! First impressions of the 2013 Ford Focus SE hatchback Of course the car guy in me wanted to go all-out and get something cool like the Camaro SS I recently rented in Phoenix, but my wife might have killed me if I did that. We were flying in from San Diego and needed a car for a long weekend of skiing at Heavenly, and being that the weather was good and we didn’t have a lot of luggage with us, a small car like the Focus was all we needed. So yeah…my wife and I recently rented a 2013 Ford Focus SE from Budget at the Reno Airport. Like most people who hear the words “Ford Focus”, the only thing that came to my mind was “crap” – though I have to admit that the actual words in my head were a bit more harsh than that. Upon reserving a “Ford Focus or equivalent” on the Budget Rental Car website, my expectations instantly dropped to the floor. I wasn’t planning on doing a 2013 Ford Focus SE hatchback review, but here we are.
