Well I just bought it with only 18 miles on it . Drives really good . I have no complaints so far . I really like the Focus and hope it lasts me awhile. Will do an update later on it once I drive it some more Update : Well the car has 13,500 miles on it now . I haven’t had no problems yet . I am averaging about 34.2 mpg so that’s good . I just have the base s model with automatic transmission. I can tell you that I miss not having a cruise control. It gets a little aggravating on long road trips but I manage. The front seats are not the most comfortable on long trips

This is my first Ford and the best quality of this vehicle is that it has a very firm and stable feel while driving very much like German cars. I commute 350 miles/ week and it is a very comfortable ride. I purchased the navigation voice activated package which functions well. The 2.0L engine is sluggish but adequate for my needs. Overall for the price and features it is a car definitely worth considering. Updated: 11/20/2020 Could not be more pleased. I have had not one single issue with my vehicle. I do drive 400 miles per week. My mileage is 42,000 . I will be looking to purchase as my next vehicle their Focus electric. 6/6/2021 The navigation will at times not function when starting the vehicle. After one or two trips, it will starting working again. Overall, I remain very pleased with my purchase

After only 3 years, 44k miles, I already had my transmission go out. All the Ford dealers could not get to fix my car until 90 days. I had no choice but to trade in my junk car for a Toyota corolla. I'm not a big fan of Toyota, however, at least now I know I'll have a reliable car! I will never buy a Ford again! Two cars in a row the same problem. Both at the 44k mark.

Biggest mistake ever!

Bought this car with less than 30,000 miles on it in 2018.... since then have already had to put over a grand in repairs into it... not at 64,000 miles (just 4,000 miles past the power train warranty) we are being told that it needs a whole new engine!!! Ford won't do anything to help us and the dealership will only give us 5K for trade in for it. We now have to figure out how to come up with 6K for a piece of crap car that we don't even want anymore! Never again will I EVER buy a Ford vehicle!

I bought this car new in march of 2018. As of may 2020 I have 40,000 miles on it. I have had NO issues with it. All I have done is basic maintenance. Pros: Great fuel mileage (avg of 42mpg over 5k miles) Comfort, it's very comfortable for me. Price Looks good Very reliable. Handling Cons: It is a bit underpowered Before sound deadening, it was a bit loud inside Sync can be a bit temperamental.
