I love my focus
I bought my car a few months back and while it may be a bit soon to review I have to say I love this car. I can fit a disturbing amount of shenanigans into my focus. I have 2 children a well over 6 foot husband and our family dog. We all manage to pile in with room to spare. It handles much better than my previous cars on the highway. All my cars have been 4cyl hatchbacks and I have to say that EVERY one of them was miserable at highway speeds. The focus doesn't even sweat at the 75mph limit here in KS. I read the awful reviews of the automatic and I opted for the familiar old 5 speed instead. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for small cheap car with tons to offer.
Comfortable, reliable car with great mileage
I am very pleased with my 2014 Ford Focus. I get great gas mileage: 31 to 38 mpg in town with AC on and 41 to 48 mpg highway driving with AC on. I was a bit concerned with the slight shudder I sometimes get from the transmission when accelerating from a stop. The first service technician I talked to about this said it was 'normal' for the Focus. I found this explanation unsatisfactory. During another stop at the dealership, another technician explained the mechanics of the Focus transmission and then the shuddering made sense. With almost 17K miles on my car, it has proven to be very reliable, comfortable and economical. I will definitely be purchasing a Ford the next time I shop for a car.

Minimal issues with my manual 2014 Ford Focus
Bought in December of 2014. The beautiful red color and sleek design caught my eye. The Wife and I took it for a test drive and fell in love. Great handling, smooth ride, great gas mileage and decent power. Dash and steering wheel controls user friendly and put in the right place. As of today, I have 114k miles and have minimal issues. The only thing that has happened, is that the radio went out a few months ago. I've done all required maintenance and the car is super reliable. Recently got an oil change and radiator service, but that's it. Manual transmission shifts great.

Love regardless
The car overall with one caveat is great. The big deal is to let the car shift where if you hot rod it you’ll get a transmission shutter. It’s a dual clutch automatic so let it naturally shift out of first gear (easy acceleration) then off you go. If you push it it can jerk the shift out of first gear, that said at 50,000 miles it’s fine,rust free and 41 mpg highway.Ford gave us the option to trade at full value for something else but we like the car better than the Elantra we had. Focus has a better ride than the 2012 Elantra (which started to rust and parts were expensive .The Ford dealer was/is great. Wish Ford still made the car.
