Used 2015 Ford Focus SE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
painful regret
after owning this car for a short time, the transmission does not shift and shutters on acceleration. After the third visit to the dealer in less than one year, the transmission is still not repaired and ford refuses to replace the transmission. we wont be buying ford cars anymore.
T-boned on driver side, not a scratch made on me
Not the ideal way to test how well a car is made, but I was t-boned on the driver side last week. The car was totaled. Windows smashed, driver door crushed shut. A hole was torn in the rear driver side door. Driver's side airbags deployed. I left the accident with a slightly sore neck and no injuries except for a quarter inch scrape on my knee. Passenger has a broken rib. Amazing.

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.

Pleasant compact car
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.
