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.

What Ford calls normal is dangerous

Afraid to pull out. The car lurches between gears in the low gears. I hate it. Worst car I have EVER driven. Lots of bells and whistles but...the seats are too small for my 6.2 husband. The noise and rattles are numerous. Water pools in the ridges of the trunk and hood. And the gas mileage for the size is only fair. I wish I had purchased the corolla instead for the same price. BIG mistake.

Bought the car used for one of my sons. Shutters and jerks at take off. I found out the car had a transmission module recall and took it to a local Ford Dealer. They said it was not the module and they wanted $2000 to fix the internal clutch. Stay away, piece of junk! I also drive a Ford F-150. These are my last Ford’s, will go back to Toyota!

Fords 6 speed transmission has big problems from the factory. The clutch had crap seals as built, years later when they HAVE NOT fixed the issue and changed the seals, It was great. For me FOR A BIT that was 3 cars later, at least I didn't need to pay for it. Then my steering totally went out, also a common problem but not covered under warranty. $1000 out of pocket. If it wasn't for those two BIG problems I could have given 5 stars the whole way. Ford drags it's feet fixing manufacturing problems.
