2012 Ford Focus consumer reviews

Best car for anyone. Still have it. Gets 37 mpg on the road. It’s getting old but I’ll keep it for as long as I can. Still looks new

Too many problems, car is not worth the money. Bought mine used and had nothing but problems, suspension, transmission, wheel shake, it has been terrible!

Bought new in 2012 with 2.0L 5 speed manual. This car has been exceptional in every way. Never quits! Never stalled! 272,000 miles, 4 spark plugs, original clutch, just normal Maintenance using FOMOCO recommended oil & filters every 5,000 miles (synthetic-blend). It still gets 35-36 commuting and 38-39 Hwy. Incredible little car! Sad I can’t buy a new one!

I was never contacted about the TCM Module Re-Call But was about the Door Latches it saddened to know that Ford isn't standing Behind Their Productivity in this simi- Luxury Sports Vehicle it is a Great Vehicle to have is Great on Gas and is excellent in the city and on the Highway I Believe it Could Be Even Greater With The Quad Exhaust Turbine Engine with Shock Absorbsion with all the Bell's and Whistles to Boot

Ford Focus was born to be hatchback and manual transmission. I had two in Brazil and this one in US, bought from the first owner and now with 192K miles. No big issues, just normal wear. Stay away from automatics, SAVE THE MANUALS!!!!!

Bought it with 125K miles. Typical transmission TCM Problems. 2 or 3 times in the past year it has gone into safe mode with the transmission not wanting to shift properly.. After much stress and researching forums I figured out all I need to do is disconnect the the battery for 30 seconds.. This resets the TCM .. Good to go !

Initially bought the car because of the cheap price and infotainment system thinking I’m getting a good deal, I soon found out that I was wrong. The transmission is the most common problem I have had with this vehicle. Had to replace the clutch after one year of owning it had to spend a lot on multiple repairs. Transmission often slips, bucks, shudders, and jerks when accelerating from first and second gear. The interior looks upscale but is kind of cheap feeling. Plastics tended to raddle and buzz and break. If you want a good car for a good price, don’t buy this, the resale value is garbage. Only got 1,500 for it.

overall a good car, motor is reliable and so is everything else, the on problem with these cars is the transission, the clutches wear like crazy and its like all of the transmisson internals are made of glass, STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR UNLESS U ARE A MECHANIC and have the means to fix it

We bought the vehicle used with 68000 miles on it. The first thing that went out was the power steering, luckily we had an after market warranty to fix otherwise that it would have cost us 19500. Then the power train control module went out, thank God Ford fixed that for free, but now it has 154768 miles being reliable, have to replace the front struts and a wheel bearing. I like the car.

One problem after another. Clutch just went out. Car is a piece if crap. Its in the shop more than I drive it. Nothing but trouble.
