worst car I ever owned

This is the worst car I have ever owned, I have had nothing but problems with it, ie corrupt files in computer, very expensive fix, I would never recommend a Ford to anyone.

Sporty Feel for Less

I bought this car to enjoy the sporty feel and freedom of a manual without having to spend extra to own a performance vehicle. It has served me to that purpose without flaw. This car is fun to drive, does exceptionally well on gas and was very affordable. It has been reliable, comfortable and easy to maintain.

Great fun reliable car

I had the 5 speed SE hatchback with sport package. Great car all the way around. 33 to 37mpg, fun to drive and perfectly reliable. Stay away from 2012 and 2013 automatics but any with the 5 speed are very reliable.

Most comfortable car we have owned

This car has several amazing features. We have heated seats which is important due to me having a messed up back. Gas mileage is at around 35 miles per gallon and that will go up when it warms up. Love the hands free option for phone usage and for controlling the radio. It?s has a gorgeous body style that I fell in love with.

Will never buy a Ford again

I have had my car since 2014, worst car I have ever owned , I have had nothing but problems with the Focus even problems dealership has never heard or seen before! I would tell anyone to stay away from Ford, told dealership that all I wanted to do was pay car off and they will never see me again because I will NEVER buy another Ford!

Great car but transmission is a joke.

The transmissions on this car are junk. They adjust it and soon after its slipping again. Them you take it back and they say it's with in specks. Love the car otherwise.

Solid, reliable car for a great price

I've had this car for 5 years with absolutely no issues. Drives great, with all the standard features: usb connect, voice to phone technology, etc. Nothing fancy, but still very nice, and totally reliable. I also think it looks pretty sharp. A little noisy on the highway, but overall, very happy with this car.

Pretty but not safe

This car has been nothing but problems. I've had 3 transmission repairs since I bought it in 2016. I have 5 years left to pay and it doesn't look hopeful.
