I purchased my 2013 Ford Focus new and now have about 11,000 miles on it. I optioned for the SFE package for better fuel economy. I have getting about 33 mpg combined city and highway. It has been a great car and very easy to drive. I would recommend this car.

A Big Waste of Money

The Focus Ti I have looks sharp,but it's not dependable technology wise . I have been locked out of it twice.The 8 inch display has frozen on me so as I couln't call to get help.The phone unpairs three times a week as Ford after 5years hasn't got syncing their cars right yet. Just Google all the complaints by owners who bring their cars back and the service people blame the phone or the weather. Served my country and got screwed and tried to belive in an American car and got screwed again. Not the dealers fault or the poor mechanic who's not a techie,Ford is in one big mess. I'll have my German car by 2015. What a waste of $25,585 sticker price I had to pay excise tax on.

I drove an automatic 02 focus hb for 10 years and LOVED it. I thought I was upgrading with the 2013. If you are used to a manual transmission this would probably be ok. It has the same shuddery jerky bumpy shift and backwards roll features that are on a standard transmission. I had it under 2 months and bought a different brand. It was that bad.

DO NOT BUY

I made the mistake of not reading any reviews before buying this car and let me tell you it has been hell. I bought my 2013 Ford Focus SE pre-owned from the dealership and within the first year of owning it I brought it back about 4 time because of TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. They have recalls on this vehicles transmission and NONE of them fix the problem. Every time you accelerate from a stop the entire car stutters/jumps/throws you forward. It never gets better, only gets worse. Last time I brought the car in, the dealership told me there is nothing more they can do that’s “just how the car shifts gears.” It is a very annoying problem, and it is VERY NOTICABLE. Save yourself the trouble with this car.
