Way too much electronics. Where are the buttons to change the preset radio stations or the "seek" button to find a non-preset station while traveling? I have to take my eyes off the road and look at the display when changing stations, not very safe. Also, what happened to the map reading lights and the 60/40 split rear seat? I had them in my 2009 Focus but there aren't any in my 2012. Not very handy. But the worst is that this 2012 Focus with only 3200 Kms won't start in very cold temperatures. My dealer tells me it's an electronics problem that, despite 3 visit to the dealership on the back of a tow truck, has yet to be identified. Electronics are a good thing but too much isn't.

I still love this car. On the highway I've gotten 40 MPG while staying with traffic in the fast lane. My wife loves the comfort of the optional black and red leather seats and interior. We always have the back seats down and pack luggage, a traveling coffee bistro, and a bar with room to spare and everything is easy to get to. Even at 60 YOA, I get the boy-racer feeling whenever I get behind the wheel. The alloy wheels just add to that feeling...now if I could just learn to drift it through the corners. I've never had any problems with the transmission although I believe there's at least one recall on it. I use the "manual" gearbox through windy roads and hills. Just too much fun. Fast? Not especially but when you move from your wife's SUV to the Focus, it feels quick and planted. We took it to Germany for our tour there and it was perfect. Thank goodness we didn't take the SUV. Based on my experiences with the car as a daily driver, a long haul tripper, and competing with the German on their own turf, I've been more than happy with the car - and my other car is a Mini-Cooper.

I purchased my 2012 Focus HB SE, 6speed Auto, on 4/22/11. I absolutely love this car. The fun factor is outrageous and addicting. Everything about this car is amazing. The car build is solid, no vibrations or squeeks. the doors close solid and the front and rear seats are very supportive and hold you in. My main reason too purchase this vehicle was for its good fuel mileage, so far i'm getting 39 mpg, in mixed driving
Fantastic Focus

Traded in an Audi Q5 for better gas mileage and lower payment. Expected to feel like I was 'downgrading', but the Focus was quite surprising. Interior is comfortable and well laid out. Quiet inside with solid ride. Sound system is not quite up to Bang & Olufsen system in Audi, but not bad at all. I actually like the My Ford Touch interface better than Audi's MMI. Lots of nice touches in this car that even Audi does not offer (e.g., LED interior lighting and a sunglasses holder that actually holds an adult pair of sunglasses). Test drove Elantra and Focus was much, much better. Car is brand new so averaging only about 28mpg. I hope this number improves as the car is broken in.
pass on this car!!!!!!!!! going back to chevys.
