Best of all ive owned

This has been my favorite focus ive ever owned. For an se package it comes prepared and ready for action. Its got more room it seems since the console was redesigned. Very nice features i would have had to order in my 17 sel or 14 titanium.

It?s fun to drive and has fantastic gas mileage.

Loved driving this car. It handles real well on the road, responsive steering, great turning radius and Sync works great! We loved the Darth Vader look on the front.

Worried when accelerate from complete stop.

I just bought a used 2014 Ford Focus 97,000 miles. I am just worried because when you are at a stop sign and you begin to accelerate the vehicle shudders "bulk". Other than that I like the exterior looks way better than the old version. The Bluetooth is good the steering wheel is good it is adjustable and movable. Number one preference is the air conditioner and the legroom for the driver. I have short legs so it's perfect. I would not recommend this car to anyone else unless it is a brand new from the lot. I wish that I would have noticed the shudder when I first test drove the vehicle I would not have taken this vehicle if it was like that.

Do not buy a 2014 Focus

I?ve had endless issues from transmission to oil leaks and every complaint is met with skepticism and untruths from FORD until a RECALL comes in the mail. Of course the money I spent to troubleshoot will never be refunded and the time lost with my car at the shop (weeks) can not be replaced. I?m just out of warranty at 70k but now the Engine light is on and this car has been well cared for. Can?t wait to hear what they tell me it?s going through cost to troubleshoot and fix it this time. Save yourself time, money and massive headaches and avoid this vehicle.

Poor reliability, lifetime of repairs

This vehicle met all of my needs when I was looking for an almost new car. Great price, looks, and supposedly good performance and warranty. I was immediately disappointed after driving it off of the lot. The car started shuttering, idling rough, and was unsafe to drive with only 40,000 miles on it. Turns out the clutch was bad and needed replacement as well as computer reprogramming. Fortunately, it was still under warranty and I found a good dealership to repair the vehicle. After more research, it turns out this is a very common issue and I can expect a lifetime of replacing the clutch every few thousand miles. This is about a $3,000 repair every time. There is even a large class action lawsuit against Ford for this very same issue. Please do not buy 2011-2017 Ford Focus or Fiesta as this is likely to happen to you. I wish I didn't buy this car...This is my first and last Ford!

Not a good car

Have the issue with its transmission system. The transmission will make a grinding sound. Interior and exterior are good. But they should fix transmission issue before Ford sells these cars.

Such a great car with a even better price.

This car is great for commuting to and from work safely and reliably. Driving 45 minutes to and from work everyday was expensive with my previous car but I average 38.5 highway driving now with this Focus.
