Save yourself the headache, the constant trips to the service department and being broke down on the side of the road. This car is beyond unsafe. I've had it for 2 years and its had transmission issues the entire time and has a active recall on the transmission. It's on its way back to get repaired for the 5th time and I'm sure it will break down again. Ford doesn't do anything to help. So I'm stuck with a car that value is very low because of the recall. I'm looking at a $6,000 loss if I trade it in. I will never ever buy a ford anything again. Please don't buy this car.

I bought a Ford Focus 2013 a couple of months ago being told it had an automatic transmission. It jerked and acted weird during the test drive, but the salesman said it would "learn" my driving style in 2 weeks. After 2 months and 450 miles , took it to service dept for low gas mileage (less than 20 city) and jerky transmission. They said it takes 1,000 - 3,000 to break in. Read the other blogs and asked them to take it back. Ford offered us a lousy deal, so we traded it in and bought a new Camry. Real car with a smooth transmission and gets better gas mileage than the Focus. Ford needs to recall the "automatic" Focus. The transmission doesn't work! Buyer beware!!

We have owned our 2013 Ford Focus for over five years and put a lot of miles on it! The functionality and performance of the car is still terrific. Other than basic wear & tear items, we have had NO PROBLEMS with this car! We will definitely buy another one when this one starts to give us trouble.

We love this car for what it is, a reliable and nice driving utility vehicle. While not an SUV it is versatile and very useful at hauling stuff. It routinely gave us 40mpg on the highway. We've had no problems with the car, though we don't like the automatic transmission, its rubbery and always wants to be in top gear to save gas. As a result it tends too slow unless you put it in sport mode and shift yourself. We also note that the air coming out of the vents in summer is warm unless we have AC on. No other complaints. Solid and reliable, fun to drive and comfortable on trips. The hatch back holds an amazing amount of stuff for such a small car. We've recently traded it in on a new 2016 Focus ST. We were seduced by the power and fun to drive factor and by the great price the dealer offered us.

Great focus!...never any transmission issues or anything else. Currently the speed control doesn’t always engage; probably a sensor needing replaced.
