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.

"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.

I've had this car for over a year. It's a GREAT little car. I've put at least 20K miles on it. Easy and inexpensive maintainance. Can't say enough good things about it.

Transmission is terrible. Shudders and jumps. Horrible at accelerating. Avoid the DCT at all costs. Road noise is loud. Blinker broke after 4 months.
