Great little car with a horrible transmission

I really loved this car when I bought it, but it has been trouble almost from day one. Right after I took delivery I noticed several flaws in the paint, bad moldings, and misaligned. trim pieces. Many other problems showed up over the next three years, but the biggest problem was the jerky transmission. Ford replaced the clutch pack once and it helped for a while, but the problems soon showed up again. I had hoped to keep the car for a long time, but in the end I decided to trade it in after the three year warranty ran out. The DCT transmission is a really bad design.

The automated transmission may seem strange at times from starts at dead stops but soon takes on a very solid feeling when the car is rolling. There is no mushy automatic feeling when the car is going down the road just a good solid feeling like from a manual transmission. The car definitely has good pick up from a dead stop and when driving it the 80 miles home from the dealer I occasionally floored the accelerator when passing a vehicle and I had to watch myself since the car was quickly in the mid 90 MPH range. The car has a very solid feel and the interior materials used gives the car a mini luxury car feel. I bought the car used for my wife and I like it so much I'm considering buying one for myself. I currently drive her old 2000 Focus which continues to be a very reliable vehicle. She has a rather aggressive type of driving style - quick acceleration and hard braking but she is getting 29 mpg in town driving compared to 22 mpg in her 2000 Focus. Great improvement! The hatchback has great styling and this will be our main traveling when the 2 of use are traveling. Just completed a 4000 mile trip to the east coast and the Focus was a joy to drive. Mileage was between 39 to 41 mpg and the vehicles performance is outstanding. Wish Ford was still making the vehicle as I would buy another. Currently have a 2000 Focus as well and at 172,000 miles it still runs like new. My wife and I took the 15 Focus on a close to 4000 mile 10 day trip to N. Carolina last fall. The Focus was comfortable and cruised down the highway smoothly. At one point the gas mileage was 42 mpg. Coming back into wind the low point was 38 mpg heading back into Wyoming. Love the car, Ford made a huge mistake dropping the Focus car line.

I had a 2013 Ford Fiesta and at the time was great until I got hired to deliver pizzas. The focus is a big upgrade for me. I spend most of my day in my car driving. Very roomy and the back up camera is very helpful. The front seats are very comfortable but never sat in back. Heated seats and steering wheel is a great plus. I'm glad they fixed the Microsoft thing tho. The robot lady understands everything I say, whether be to call someone or play a song. Drives very smooth. Nice and quiet ride and actually handles well in snow! 2 USB ports and an auxiliary. I love all the cup holders too. Like 5 up front maybe 4 in back haha. And I am most happy that I got it in black with black interior yay.

I bought my focus used with a little less than 30,000 miles on it. The only issue I had with it was the recall already done on it; the fuel sensor went bad. But it was covered under warranty. Car handles great. Could use a little more pick up and go. Great gas mileage. Very happy with the purchase.

Too many issues with the dual clutch. Nobody wants to buy a car that they have to fix up every year. Going to trade it in after only 3 years.
