Very disappointed. Unfortunately, I didn't know when I bought this but there was a lawsuit against Ford. Apparently they knew about the faulty clutch/transmission design when they designed the car. Stay away from it. This car burns through clutches.
Don't forget to Focus

I have owned my car, brand new since April 2017 and I have had numerous issues with the windshield wipers getting stuck in the up/angled position while driving. The engine sputters when accelerating and down shifting. The radio has required 3 updates in the short time I have owned the car. I was told that the wipers "might have had too much water on them to work" or that "the windshield was not wet enough" I hit a curb due to this malfunction. This car is not worth the hassles. Glad I purchased extended warranty.

A lot of transmission complaints are from the 2012 models. I also owned one of those until buying the 2017. The 2012 was in the shop 4 times for transmission trouble. My new Ford Focus is wonderful in all respects and I expect it will stay that way based on its performance thus far.

Why would they sell a car with a transmission like this , it is horrible.. UPDATE. Now at 39 k and transmission is still a POS . Update at 66 k and transmission still shutters daily . Was told by dealer that its supposed to feel like that .

I got the Focus SEL sport all black with black rims and led dead lights. The car looks awesome and has amazing handeling of it. Used to have a Ford Fusion and the difference is very much. Great cabin space. I enjoy every ride with this focus even to go to the market! Love this and I know all you will too!
