Best gas saver and reliable car I've owned

This vehicle is awesome, it has great mpg and very reliable and the maintenance isn't expensive. The con about it is that it's not very comfortable at first you have to find your fit and get used to it.

Worst Car I've Ever Owned

This car has been in the shop more times than I can count. It shakes at low speeds, and the transmission has been replaced twice. If you look at Consumer Reports, you will see it is probably rated as one of the worst cars to own in history.

Fix the problem Ford!!

This would be a great car if it was more reliable and didn't have problems with the Clutches and Transmission Control Module.

Transmission ruins a good vehicle.

I purchased a 2013 Ford Focus SE as a Ford Certified Used vehicle. I love everything about the vehicle from the styling to the heating/air conditioning and the handling. Unfortunately, Ford's choice of a hybrid manual/automatic transmission ruins the driving experience. Despite multiple repairs, the transmission fails to perform normally, and actually causes stress and anxiety while driving. So, if Ford has improved and corrected this problem, I would purchase a new model of this vehicle.

Small but great on gas, sharp looking hatch back.

We wanted a smaller car and we liked everything the Focus had to offer, this car was also loaded with options and other cars with these options was thousands of dollars more.

Garbage

I commute about 500 miles a week for work and have had multiple cars over the last 20 years. At first I loved the car and the gas mileage was great, but then the transmission and other problems began. I've had it in the shop for repairs on the average 3 to 5 times a year! Ford knows this is a problem, and went ahead not caring other than a recall that never fixes the problem. It just happens again and again!
