Used 2018 Ford Focus Sedan Consumer Reviews
Love it, love it, love it
Not my first Focus. After spending months shopping I decided on the 2018 SEL with all the bells and whistles that go with it. I drove a Chevy Suburban 4X4 for about 15 years and the transition from getting up into a vehicle to getting down into a vehicle took some getting used to. The acceleration is acceptable. Small relatively light car for the horsepower. Quiet, smooth driving. I love the handling. Almost sport's car like. The only thing that can be improved on, in my opinion, is the 6 speed transmission. It seems that sometimes it can't decide which gear to be in. But the Select Shift takes care of that. Have not yet gone on a long trip so I have no comment on that as of yet. Planning on driving from Michigan to Florida soon so I'll update my review then. Update: It's now the middle of winter and the car is still functioning fine. Temperatures are well below zero. No problem starting and handles well enough on snow packed roads. I just love the remote start. I start it from my living room and get into a nice warm car. In this cold weather it starts first time, every time.I have no complaints about this Focus. I also installed a K&N air filter (will NOT void warranty). It gives the car a bit of better performance. All in all I,m pleased with my purchase.

2018 Ford Focus
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

A very good value
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

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!
Great little car
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.
