If I could have one car never built again this would be it

I wouldn't take the time out for this if it wasn't for the fact that everyone should know about how horrifying not only this car is but Ford for even letting this happen. The car has a recall on the transmission it stalls when driving and can even randomly shut off while driving. Ford wont even give you a rental tell they check what is wrong. even when it is under warranty and has a recall so they already know I am not at fault for this cars problems. Writing this while still waiting for a estimated time on how long tell they can even look at it.

Reliable and Fun to Drive

I bought this car in August of 2014 from the dealer and drove it off the lot with 10 miles on it. I now have around 39,400 miles in 26 months. I also have the 5 speed manual transmission. The only issues I have had with the car were replacing a tail light bulb and then 2 tires because of nails. It is peppy for a small car and has more horsepower than the other cars in its class, (which is something I looked for). On interstates going the speed of traffic on open highways I average 35.5 mpg. On 2 lane highways with a lower speed limit I have averaged between 39 and 44 mpg of 200 mile round trips. It handles well in all types of weather. The AC cools off the car quickly in the hot days of summer. The bluetooth syncs easily with my phone, however I have had to resync it once. The legroom is the back is a little poor but it is a small car. The resale value of the car is poor because of issues with automatic transmission however but the manual transmission editions are reliable and fun to drive. I would easily consider buying one with a manual transmission again.

FOCUS is TRASH

Dont listen to my obvious rant , just google Ford Focus (2012-2014 Transmission) and enjoy, Ford should be ashamed of how they are trating thier loyal consumers by putting out an obviously broken product and refusing to own up or fix it. Won't ever own another Ford.

Bought a 2014 Focus - need I say more. Clutch had to be replaced 3x within first yr and a half. Salesman knew dam well what he was selling. My warranty has expired on this used piece of crap. Can't afford another car right now. WILL NEVER BUY FORD AGAIN.

I hated this car because of its transmission issues. I traded it in for a 2016 Focus in September, 7 months after I purchased the 2014, I was told that the 2016 did not have the same transmission. I lost money on the trade-in because Ford had just issued a recall on the cars but Ford would not replace the transmission unless you broke down. I have had the 2016 for two years and I love it. Great pick up, features and comfort. I wish I had just purchased the new one from the beginning. Just got rid of the 2016 Focus. Starting to feel that it was hesitating which shouldn’t happen. Day after I sold it, I received a recall notice. Piece of junk. Bought a Kia.
