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

After 36,000 miles
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 commuter
I bought this car new in June of 2013. I commute 70 miles each way and the gas for my SUV was killing me. I test drove the automatic and disliked the feel, then drove the 5 speed and liked it much better. I now have 55k miles on the car and it still runs as well as when I drove it off the lot. I have had no mechanical issues whatsoever in all those miles and have found the Focus to be a comfortable vehicle. A third of my commute is down a windy mountain road and the Focus handles it very well. It drives well in the rain and I had no complaints with its abilities in the snow last winter. Overall, an excellent vehicle.
great car, 18 month review
extremely comfortable, large trunk area. bought a 40 gallon water heater and it fitted in like it was made to. front brakes are a disappointment. they wear out way too fast. car handles like a sports car. could use a little more power. i do live in the mountains ,which might account for some of the problems
