I searched online for my new car, i wasnt sure what car I was looking for all i wanted was something that wasnt going to break my wallet. I submitted information to Galpin Ford and was contact within 30 minutes by Bernard Durazo. I came in for a test drive and before you know it i was in love with my car!!! It is super cute and drives very smooth. Thank you for all your help and answeing all my questions.

The (TCM) Transmission Controlled Modulator is just terrible. From a stop the car hesitates and jerks until you get to 3rd gear and then acceleration is good. You have to reset the Transmission weekly. A terrible car.

NOT LOVING IT!

I bought my 2013 Focus SE a month ago. I cried for two days over the crazy transmission. I now have 500 miles and it is driving better. The driver's seat is uncomfortable and lots of road noise. Not enough cup holders or storage space.If I could do it again, I would not buy this car! I am not trying to be negative, just stating what I feel about the car. I talked to the dealership about the road noise and the seat and they acted as though they have never heard any complaints, but I have read several. I do like some of the features and like the way it doesn't feel like a small car. Anyway, I am trying to love it because I have to pay for it for six years :(

I had a toyotay camry, saw all the great commercials about the gas milage on the focus, and thought wow better than the camry, so i bought a 2013 ford focus titanium flex fuel, wow what a big mistake if i could get rid of this today i would hate everything about this car, gas mileage sucks, sounds and acts weird like it is going to fall appart any minute, will not make this mistake again, going back to toyota,,soon as i can.. this car sucks real BAD......
