I got a brand new focus hatchback 2018, about a year after the transmission failed 3 times and almost killed me on the highway. I regret getting a Ford.
Transmission detracts from otherwise good car.

The dual clutch automatic transmission makes a rattling noise when downshifting.This is normal but still annoying.If I had known the car was equipped with this transmission,I would not have purchased it. What is wrong with equipping the vehicle with a normal 6 speed automatic ? It is unfortunate that the transmission detracts from an other wise excellent car. The car belongs to his wife Mary and she loves the car!

Before considering the purchase of any low-end Ford (fiesta and focus)With an automatic transmission, do a Google search on ford powershift transmission class-action lawsuit. They have been putting unreliable and unsafe transmissions in their economy cars since 2011. I am a former owner of a 2011 Ford fiesta. I got tired of ford lying to me after they replaced the fourth clutch assembly in my car with less than 50,000 miles and telling me everything is fine. And a cruel twist of fate put a 2018 Ford focus SE in my driveway as a company work vehicle. It’s brand new. Same crunching and clicking sounds in the transmission. I already know this car will let me down based on past experience. Same power shift transmission.An almost equal annoyance is the fact that this car‘s Driver seat there’s no lumbar support adjust mechanism. I didn’t know they still made cars Without adjustable lumbar support. My lower back started hurting about a week after driving this thing. Consider another brand. Ford tends to cut corners and issue recalls later

The 2018 Ford Focus is very plain and simple,but durable.It has no CD player .The seats will not hold an over weight person front,or back ,but great for a family of five ,if your kids can get along in back seat touching each other’s legs.It has a spacious trunk for lots of groceries and the back seats let down allowing the trunk to have even more room.The insurance was higher than what I expected 166.00 a month at for a 46 year old women with great driving record.It was more than my sons 2016 Ford Mustang which is 143.00 . The Ford Focus looks a lot like what you see government and city employees driving.There are no fancy bells ,or whistles,but an awesome air conditioner and speakers sound great ,also 30 miles to the gallon for gas highway. I would recommend this vehicle for somebody needing a dependable basic car.
