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.

Just received my SEL Hatchback, I opted for the 301A, Nav, Winter Package, and Remote Start. This car is driving me crazy. So many pros and then a few super annoying cons that have completely ruined this new car experience and have me wishing I had gone elsewhere.

Let me start off by saying I love my Focus! I have 55,000 miles on mine, with 80 mile a day commutes in Houston traffic, which is pretty bad, and I have not had trouble with my Focus. The transmission is an Auto-Manual, it is supposed to feel how it does, one cannot drive it like a traditional automatic transmission and expect it to perform the same. It simply is not the same thing. Considering my Focus is self shifting a manual transmission, it does pretty dang well. Plus I have had no problems with it either. Stop and go traffic is not bad at all. As for those with size problems, you purchased a compact car. Compact meaning Small! This is a wonderful car that I will gladly buy again.

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
