I don't typically sign up for websites to do reviews but I will this time. Do your homework before you even consider this car. I've had this car for 8 months and I'm already trying to figure out how to get out of this upside down car. When I first test drove it the test vehicle was fine. I had seen a couple reviews about the transmission being a little jumpy but the sales man reassured me that that issue was very rare. No. I had it less than two months, took it in 4 times, and was without it for a month and ford treated me horrible. called headquarters and got dismissed there too. I've had such issues with a new car. Ridiculous! Don't do it pay a little extra and get a better car!
I was dumb enough to buy 2 of them

Car 1 Clutches replaced first week. Tire, glove box door, water leak, bad brake booster, brakes locked up, heat air not working normally, popping in dash, front end suspension, dealer left it sit with bird poop all over so paint is now ruined. Purchased 8/27/14 been in the shop going on 120 days now. Ford refuses to fix because I hired an attorney and they are not supplying the rental vehicle.

I have always driven Hondas and Toyotas, this is my first Ford purchase and I absolutely love the car. I did a lot of research, test drove many similar priced vehicles and I loved my Focus the moment I test drove it. The car has great visibility, engine is very quiet.The transmission is a little slow to react at times, but that could be because I am used to driving a clutch. The engineers at Ford really put a lot of time into many of some of the little details a few examples, you can roll the windows up after the car has turned off, and the radio stays on until you open the door. I am overall very pleased with both my car and the buying experience. Highly recommend this car.
Unreliable with many defects

I purchased my '14 Focus brand new with less than 50 miles on it. In the last 5 years, I have had an unbelievable amount of problems with the vehicle -- primarily with the transmission. There is a known defect with the clutch assembly design that they clearly have not been able to figure out a fix for since I am now on my sixth clutch assembly replacement. A service manager at one of the Ford certified service centers informed me that he has seen a Focus that had 14 clutch assembly replacements. Despite the fact that this is a KNOWN issue with the model, Ford isn't doing anything to help drivers affected by it. It is not covered under their extended TCM warranty and the second to last time I had it in for replacement the dealership called to tell me it would be an $1100 fix. Thankfully, my dealership is absolutely wonderful and they dealt directly with Ford corporate to get an exception for my vehicle, which meant I only had to pay a $100 deductible. Considering Ford created this issue and then sold these vehicles in the condition they are in, it should have been free, but I digress. The other transmission issue I have is with the aforementioned TCM. This didn't start until year 5 of owning the car, but it's been an absolute delight to deal with. The vehicle will start failing while traveling on highways between 60-70 mph and go through bursts of losing power before it finally displays a message on the dash "Engine fault service now." You would think with such a terrifying message that the check engine light would come out, but that does not happen. In fact, the car doesn't even store a code related to the incident. This results in you having to bring the car to a certified service center time and time again hoping that they'll be able to duplicate your issue so they can attempt to make a fix. The temporary fix for the issue is to pull the car over, turn it off, and turn it back on again. That forces a manual reset which erases the error message from the display so the dealership doesn't have anything to go on. Just genius engineering from Ford on that one. The car may get decent gas mileage and offer more usability than you think it's going to (I fit five six-foot porch posts in it with the back seat folded down), but it's not worth it. If you're thinking about buying a used Focus I recommend you run as far away as you can. Don't do it!

The Transmission shakes at low speed. The trim and seats are already showing signs of deep wear after a year. This is a cheaply made car. Do not recommend at all. The transmission was repaired under the recall. still do not recommend this car to anyone.
