Used 2013 Ford Focus Sedan Consumer Reviews
No Problems
Bought Car in 2015 with low miles. Read reviews and had Buyers remorse. This car has been flawless. Replaced Battery. Tires, and brakes in 2020 and it still runs like a champ. Absolutely no problems.

Transmission problem
I am very unhappy with the "new transmission" Ford has put in the new 2013 Focus. My car is 7 months old and has had 4 visits for the same issue. Last month it was in the shop for almost 2 weeks due to a leak of a seal and needing a new clutch. The transmission shifts inappropriatly and puts me at high risk for smashing into a car ahead of me. The answer given by the Ford employees is that I need to learn the car and how to drive it. Unacceptable answer!

Nope
First, I realize it's dumb to buy a car and not like it; but I had a good test drive & it made sense due to being a good used deal. Wanted a middle ground compact car; that is decent performance and economy. Cruze, Civic, Elantra weren't gutsy enough; and something like the Si is fun but not practical enough. I came from a 2008 Mazda 3 5spd which I now realize was amazing, but figured would change it up. Inside is cramped, the center stack is huge and has no storage. Rear leg room is poor/worse. Auto transmission (not select shift) is hit or miss; can be very smooth or very stupid. Fuel economy is not as hoped. The 3 got me 25 in mostly city driving (rated 23/29); and this gets 28.5.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
This car is very cheap to purchase and lots of fun to drive. But since I had it I had to replace one of the front drive axles and the parking brake. The front end sounded loose. The paint on the hood already chipped off. I drive very conservatively and do not follow cars close for this reason. I know it is not my fault. The S model comes with automatic lights but only on the dash, so when it gets dark enough your dash lights come on, but not your headlights. I have been pulled over by the police already because I did not have my headlights on. By the time I sold it two years after I bought it, the interior materials started to deteriorate. I sold it before the rest of the vehicle went with it, the warranty was expired, and I was upside down in the loan. On the other hand it was fun to drive and with the price being so cheap you can afford to make the modifications you want to make it yours
