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"!

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.
