Ford Way to go, Ford! I love driving this car. We bought for our son. I liked the 2012 restyle. After driving it, I was sold. While some may not enjoy the double clutch automatic, I like it since it reminds me of a manual but I don't have to shift it like a manual! It cruises along through the 6 gears flawlessly. It rides like a much larger car. It is very quiet and rides well. I now find myself thinking of how I can get my own Focus without upsetting the bank account. Unfortunately, it will be a long wait because we also bought an Escape for my wife :-).

We ordered our Focus so we could get it exactly like we wanted it. We have had the car for one week now and LOVE it. We moved down from an '08 Taurus Limited for the gas mileage. I was a little concerned about the size but although the Focus is quite a bit smaller it is very comfortable and I love the handling. We took the Focus on a 200 mile trip the second day we had it and averaged 37/mpg. Filled it up yesterday and even driving back and forth to work and in city traffic averaged almost 30. We have had a lot of positive comments about about the looks of the car, especially the Red Candy Clearcoat Metallic paint. I only buy Fords and they have definitely got it right with the new Focus.

Shortly after purchasing our 2012 Ford Focus, we noticed a shuddering noise, coming from the front end. Had it checked several over and over. We were told it would stop approx. after 1000miles.Surprise, Surprise...4000 miles now and STILL making noise.. Spoke to FORD CORP, several times.. We were told it is within standards and is normal... How can a car that draws attention when shifting, be normal??? FORD has a problem!! I guess they don't know how to fix it.. THANK YOU FORD!!! for making our life totally stressed and exhausted.. we are at our wits end and are ready to surrender the vehicle. O by the way, noise in the gas tank area as well.. grandkids wonder what the noise is!!!

Had nothing but problems with this piece of absolute crap. One thing after another after another after another. Having it towed and donating it just to get it off my property. Worst Ford product ever. Absolute money pit. Couldnt even have it stolen.

I've seen so many complaints about transmission reliability when I was looking to buy; but seemed to only be the automatic versions having that issue. So I bough the manual version and its FANTASTIC. The clutch is light and the shifting feels great. Learn to row your own gears and avoid the auto headache!
