I thought this car was going to be too small, but I was very wrong. My husband is 6'4" and he sits comfortably in the driver and passenger seats. The look of the car is stylish, and it handles very well. The manual transmission shifts beautifully. It was a great value, too! Overall, this is a great car. My only complaint is the lack of leg room in the back seat. As a result, this is not our main family car because we have 2 growing kids and another on the way. But for just my husband and I, the car is great.

This is the worst car I had ever owned in my life. My first Chevy as a teenager beats this junk, and it was total junk. Good luck with getting parts made in Mexico Ford; like the transmission. I am buying VW for now on. This is the first car and with only 20000 miles I can't wait to trade it in. I would trade it for a lawn mower; at least it will get me places. transmission skips and you take it in and they say it is fine. My old sales man offered to trade for a fusion but afraid trading it in for one piece of junk for another. I feel sorry for the person who bought a fiesta.

The issues of junk transmissions keep on coming when it comes to Ford. The Focus has an automatic manual transmission (it is a manual trans that shifts automatically) but this one has been in the shop 4 times to have the trans gone repaired. They have done a recall but just cannot seem to fix it. My friend is on her 3rd repair at 20k mi and is going to lemon law the car. The trans slips under mild acceleration causing it to shudder in the 1st couple gears. The electronics package for cell phones is terrible. We would struggle to get it to pair with our cell phones and it would work for about 2 months then stop again. We just gave up. Also the interior is made out of cheap materials. The sun has completely eaten away the vents in the rear window deck and it looks like the car is 20 years old. Bad thing is we live in Oregon and get like 3 months of sun a year. Lastly there is no rear seat leg room. When I am in the car I have to jam my legs up against the dash so that my 11yo son has some leg room. I would not recommend this car.

Transmission from hell!

Don't even think about getting the automatic transmission. I have taken it in 5 times and it does not get any better just took it in and still not fixed- shuttering, nonresponsive between 0 and 20 mph. Rides good at speeds of 20 and above bit will experience whiplash in stop/go traffic. Ford downplays any issue their Customer Relations Dept. reacts as if this is new to them. These guys have left the consumer and their dealers holding the bag. This was my 3rd consecutive Ford purchase but "no mas"!

More focus needed on the Focus!

Check on recalls, transmission recall on this vehicle. Even though it has been serviced for the poor acceleration it still has issues. Also the focus has a very low resale value. I bought it because I needed a decent mid value car, but even though I have low mileage and its in good shape won’t get much for a trade.

Good looking but disappointing

The newer focuses have alot of great things about them. They're comfy, quiet, good looking, and road handling is very good. However, there are ALOT of annoying design flaws (cup holders punch holes in your cup for example). The car is especially annoying in cold weather (defroster doesn't defrost the bottom half of the window, motor runs rough due to ice forming in thorottle body, stability control tries to make you crash, etc). The worst part of this car though is its reliability. All the electronics glitch intermittently, and the transmission (auto) is horrible. The manual isn't much better either,as it feels extra notchy and the motor doesnt rev down so every shift grinds a bit. Overall, if you want a reliable car, get a toyota, and if you want something sporty, buy something german.

I love the size, handling, styling and interior. At 35,000 miles it needs a new clutch pack and strut bearing. The dealership has been nice about it, but this is ridiculous. At 45,000 miles the clutch was rattling and hesitating. It was replaced again at 50,000 miles and at 65,000 is back to hesitating.

Ford needs to hire some engineers that have some technology. The automatic stick shift transmission as they call it is a joke and dangerous to drive. Still Ford won't man up and recall and replace the transmission. It slips, shutters, and mine has had the clutches replaced already, still is no good! The dealer keeps making up excuses like the car is supposed to shudder, or it has to learn your driving. What a joke! It's a shame because it's a fun car to drive until it hit 7000 miles, the service dept told me upfront that they get at least one car in a day with this same complaint! Family member just bought one used, same problem no fix. Dumped mine! FORD MAN UP AND RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM! I finally dumped the focus after ford could not fix the problem, last ford I will ever own. Shame on Ford. It said on the side window build in Flint Michigan with pride. I hated to dump that car on someone else but not much I could do, they have had tons of complaints.
