Great car for around Town City and Hwy! Standard Torque Convertor automatic 6f15 123hp 3cyl with ecoboost plenty of engine for every round the city needs! Plenty of get up and go and you don't need the Dual Clutch auto/Manual! Quite car with auto stop start, no vibration at All! For 2017 in the States you have to get it in a Sedan Only! Comes with 4 wheel Disc Std, Sirus XM, Fog lamps, a Std Torque Convertor Automatic, in the Ecoboost Pkg, and More! A great 33 MPG combined 35% Hwy 65% city, on test Drive! Won't set speed record, but a great car plenty of power!

This car is part of a lemon law law suit against Ford, it has transmission flaws, it stalls for no reason, fuel system issues. When running right its great but why take the chance.

Great car for the price

Used to drive a 2000 focus and I decided to buy the newest model. Great car for the money. Drives great. My only complaint is the lack of quality control. The door gaps and body lines. They do not line up well. I expected better from a new car.

"THESE CAR'S ARE JUNK"

Don't buy.. These cars do not hold a steady value... Check kbb and there's your proof. These vehicles have a terrible resale value. These cars are very well known for transmission problems. Ford was just previously sued for high millions of dollars for recalls and repairs from these cars.
