I dont know how they rate this car a b but what ever this car has been in the shop 10 times and has 5k on it transmission is garbage and ford thinks to reprogram tcm if the fix car kicks and grinds and i see why there is a law suit for this car complete rip off and ford customer service center and case workers trying to sweep it under the rug and basically says sue us we are not buying car back even when the car will cause you to jump forward in an intersection and cause acciden. guess people have to get hurt or die for them to maybe say we need to fix this. ford is a fail in my book. and dealship says this is an issue that they dont know how to fix .

WORST CAR EVER

Clutch was needing replaced every 35k miles, front end went out at 50k, constant radio problems. Thank God I bought an extended warranty. Because the car depreciated so fast and didn’t hold its value, the repairs would cost more than how much the car is worth. I’ve basically lived at the dealership since I bought it. I’ll never own another Ford. Complete piece of junk. DO NOT BUY!!

Not a bad car

The rental I had used the Ford Powershift transmission and it's annoying. Accelerating from a stop causes the car to lurch and slip until it goes to 2nd. The turning radius is horrible. Other than that it's a nice car, even for a compact. Handling through mountain roads is great and it never slid. The digital instrument panel has all the info you'd want to know.

Decent enough car, terrible transmission

The power shift transmission is the worst thing to have been put in a car. It's given me nothing but problems in 2+ years of ownership. 2 parts replacements and 3 software resets of the transmission computer...in 45,000 miles. Unacceptable. And now the airbag light is on. Other than that, I really like the car because performance-wise it's pretty nimble, it rides quietly and comfortably, it has a nice tech package for a mid-level car, and it looks great. Update: I dumped this car at just over 50k on the odometer after another transmission problem. Do not buy a Focus. Period.
