2016 Ford Focus Titanium 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6AM)

I leased my 2016 Focus Titanium in March, and I have put 7,000 miles on it since then. I absolutely LOVE this car - I look forward to driving it every single day. I have owned a 1999 Volvo V70 XC, a 2011 Mazda3, and most recently a 2005 Acura 3.5 RL, and this is by far my favorite out of all of them. Coming from the Acura, the Focus drives and feels like a bigger, more expensive car than the price tag would suggest. It is solid, with a smooth, buttoned-down ride, and exceptionally tight handling and steering feel. It feels much more solid and smoother than my Mazda 3 ever did, and it has much lower levels of road noise as well. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, even over extended periods, and the level of technology is impressive. I love the Sony stereo (which is powerful and has punchy bass), the navigation system, rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and the SiriusXM TravelLink (which has already saved me from several traffic jams). The remote start has been great in both the cold winter weather AND the humid summer weather that plagues New England. Best of all, the gas mileage is far superior to that of any of my past vehicles, especially when it only costs about $20 - $25 to fill the tank. The only true downsides are a lack of rear-seat legroom for taller people, and the dual-clutch PowerShift transmission, which can get a little confused at lower speeds. It is worth noting that I test drove a 2012 Focus back in 2011, and it is MUCH improved over the earlier model years. Certainly not a deal-breaker, and not nearly as bad as some of the reviews claim, just something that takes a little bit of adjusting to. A little more power would be nice as well, but I was spoiled by the V6 in my Acura, and the increase in gas mileage more than makes up for it. Overall, I find my 2016 Focus Titanium to be a fantastic car for the money, and I do not feel I downgraded by switching from a luxury/premium brand. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a high quality vehicle without breaking the bank

Please people read up on these cars before you buy one. I thought a Ford and the years they have been in making cars, so why not. I was a busy time, my son had bought a new 2017 Focus and I really liked it. His is a manual transmission and I got a auto. At 32000 miles that clutch went out and Ford did replace it. But now I am wondering how long will this clutch last. As I finely read up about the cars on the net turns out Ford has this new dry clutch idea, they just finely got them right in 2018. Like wow, still its a fun car to drive but not a lot of room in the back seat. But it has some really nice things on it like the back up camera and telling me when I get to close to something behind me. So maybe for the money its an ok car but those dry clutches really bother me. I think the next time I buy a car I will try a Toyota just give up on American made. But my run has been long I am a 66 year old woman.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!! I have issues with the transmission shuttering when I accelerate from a stop-the dealerships say it is within the specifications for the car so they will not do anything at all for it. I just found out today that my car is leaking or burning coolant which is "unusual" for a three year old car. And I have a notice sitting stuck to my refrigerator that doesn't have a fix for it yet (the car can run out of gas). This car has been the biggest waste of time and money. I am getting ready to trade mine in, eat the difference, and get a used car that wont crap out on me before I have it paid off. I will never own another ford vehicle again.
