Used 2014 Ford Focus Consumer Reviews
Clutch Problems.
I bought mine from a second hand dealer. Great price and condition. Felt great to drive. A year after I bought it, I went to go get it check to why it would skip 1st gear, and shudder all the time when I take off from a stop. Turns out this year Focus is KNOWN to have clutch issues. I had my clutch replaced FREE OF CHARGE thanks to my WARRANTY. Four months later, I began to have similar issues with my clutch again.I took it to a local ford dealer again to have it checked out and they told me I needed to have it replaced. I would not recommend buying this car WITHOUT a warranty that covers this. Other than the clutch, this car is great on gas mileage. I get around 30-35 miles per gallon. Not a lot of storage if you get the hatchback model.I hope this review helps clear any doubts.

Not up to par with imports
Lot of recalls, from door latch to transmission . Had catalytic converter stop up...left me walking at 30000 miles. Quite cheap interior, awful venting, factory radio poor. Exterior paint is easily chipped. Good points, better than advertised gas mileage, good performance for a 4 cylinder, great handling, as good...better than my old Mach 1. On another factory recall, which might involve two trips to the dealer. A bit ridiculous. I believe a Nissan or Kia will be in my future. The Focus is a disappointment.

Everything is great until the warranty expired
We love the car, the comfort, the technology and the handling. But 4 days ago, my wife started the car to drive home, it give "tat, tat,tat" sound and told her to pull over to the side and have the car towed to the dealership. That's what we did, except most dealers dont want to take it, so we sent it back to the dealer that sold the car to us. After 3-days, they still dont know what's wrong with it. Hey, at least they give us a rental car while trying out to find the problem with the car. I have owned 3 Honda cars and a Volvo. I thought I should buy "American"... We are still waiting to hear what is wrong with our dear "electric" car.

Never Again
Same transmission problems as other reviewers. I grew to really hate the car and the end result is that I will never buy/lease another Ford product. Lease was up in March of '17 so I turned it in and now drive a 2017 Hyundai Sonata which I love.
