"The new Ford Focus 2013 SE is really a great looking car. It drives really nice but you have to get use to the hesitaion in the acceleration, which is normal. It is very smooth driving. The only complaint that I have are the interior front bucket seats. They are hard and uncomfortable and you could feel the medal bars on the edges of each seat..I ended up having more padding put in and having the bars removed. Ford should really take a look at this problem. Otherwise it is a great car."

"Love this little car. Its stylish, gutsy and getting 38 mpg even in the city driving!!!! Can't beat that! Super performance, steering, cornering and in the mountains. Hwy getting 42 mpg. Mountain passes 38. It's a wonder! Love Sync, hands free phone, directions, road info. Wish it had digital speed and power seats! The heated seats are a plus though. Thanks Ford for another great car!"

"I replaced my 2001 Taurus with this. It's great. I'm saving over $150/month on gas and averaging 34.5mpg. I love the redesign Ford did last year. The car feels bigger than it is. Rear leg room is wanting though. Sync is pretty cool, but it takes some getting used to. I had to check the manual a few times. Voice control is great. Sync even paired up with my cheap Tracfone. It's pretty great to flip the button and say "Call Home". I priced some used cars, but the prices were sky-high. $2K more and I have a new car. Tons of rebates. I bought the SE for Cruise Control."

"I purchased my 2013 SE in January of this year. First brand new car I have ever had. And it's transmission shifts worse than my old 2001 Hyundai Accent that had over 100,000 miles on it. It shutters and acts like it is going to stall while searching for gears. Lurches forward in stop and go traffic. Rolls forward after putting it in park with emergency brake on too. Took it into Ford around 4000 miles to have it looked at and also get my digital console monitor replaced because it went completely out. They said they hooked it up to their computer and I just need to have the transmission reset back to original settings. I was also told that my clutch on may automatic transmission needed to be broke in and to bring it back around 10000 miles. Car still drive just as poorly as before. What a disappointment for a brand new car that cost around $20000. Will continue to take it back in to Ford's service center until this is fixed. Glad I bought the extended warranty."

"I love this car and look forward to driving it. It handles like a much larger car. Gas mileage combined driving is 32 mpg, cost about $30 a week. The automatic trans is different, but it works as advertised. It shifts like a manual transmission, reaching the higher gears ASAP! Once you learn how to drive the car it's GREAT!!"

"Purchased a 2013 Titanium loaded to the max. 400 miles later i started noticing the horrible grinding noise when the car shifts in lower speeds. after much argument with the dealer that i was NOT hearing things, they finally admitted it was the transmission and it was a "normal" noise!!! What? Told me it should quiet down as the car gets broke in. I have the 2.0-liter, six-speed PowerShift automatic,SelectShift® capability. Didnt read up on the complaints of the lurching and stuff and that really doesnt bother me---its the noise my car makes going thru a parking lot---loud and embarrassing for a brand new car. Hoping that over time it does quiet down, otherwise, i may go back to a Kia."

"The 2013 Focus has great styling inside and out, a big improvement over the previous generation of the model. Performance and handling are really good, especially for an "economy car." With the 5-speed manual transmission, power is adequate, and the car delivered the EPA-rated 36mpg on it's initial 1000-mile trip. Features like the sync system make it feel like a more expensive car. In fact, I'd rather drive the Focus than my 9-year-old Mercedes C240."
