First off I’m not a car person. By choice I prefer something I can go camping in off the beaten path. However a recent bankruptcy filing made me have to step back a bit. As a result, I stumbled on this car. I didn’t want it at first. The dealer pretty much talked me into it. However the dealer made a good point that I needed something now and can work back into my preferred off-road vehicle later. So I took this Ford Focus. It does drive well. It’s comfortable in all regards, with my only complaint being the steering wheel. It feels high, so I go to lower it, but when I lower it enough to be comfortable, it obscures the instrument panel. Other than that, this vehicle handles well and will definitely do good for getting me where I need to go until I get back on my feet. The MPG for me is averaging 38, which is outstanding for saving money on fuel. If you are like me and need a cheaper vehicle that is not aged, and is reliable, a Ford Focus should be on your list of choices.
The worst car ever made....

I used to think that perhaps Ford was getting a bum wrap about their vehicles. I was wrong and I will not go into all the problems I have had and still have with this broken down pile of junk. My advice is to never buy a ford and more importantly never buy a car without thoroughly checking it out.

The engine died in this vehicle after 42,000 miles. Luckily I bought an extended warranty. However the dealership had to order a new engine from another state but the new engine won’t be available for almost 2 months. Ford doesn’t make focus anymore and this is for the best.

I have driven this car for a month now. I have become familiarized with the reality that this car has a "Dry Dual Clutch Automated Manual Transmission". The transmission has a higher than average rate of problems. Mine has behaved within the range of normalcy. It can shudder at low speeds when I have been driving for awhile and the car is hotter, but the car seems to perform better when I accelerate more generously and avoid creeping or inching forward. Despite the downsides, I actually enjoy the exciting character of this transmission. The 2018 Ford Focus is a very handsome vehicle despite its dated interior design. It is just pleasing inside and out. Had I done more research and had more options I would have probably not bought this car, but since it was pretty much what I had to take given my circumstances, I am happy as long as it continues to perform as well as it has on the road. The car is safer than most other cars the same size when it comes to side impact crash tests and its design. A lot of anecdotal reports of people being well-protected in T-bone crashes.

I am leasing a 2018 Ford Focus SE sedan. I received the car in March. The first day I had it I noticed the temperature gauge hardly moved after at least 8 miles. Since the summer is now over I have come to the conclusion the thermostat opens to soon. Therefore letting the anti freeze flow too soon creating a very cold engine. It looks like I'll have to change the factory installed thermostat to a more reliable one now that the winter is approaching.
