Most reliable car i've owned

I love it! It has everything I wanted and then some. The touch screen, keyless entry, push start, etc. It is very spacious and runs so smooth, I have not had a single issue since I bought this car. I'm very happy with this purchase!

Worst car I've ever owned.

Many problems...transmission, bearings, tires, exterior water leaks, main computer needed replacement. Uncooperative dealerships. Very poor use of interior space. Trunk is a joke. Can't fit a golf bag in.Less than 50k on car..NO MORE FORDS!

Very good commuter car.

good car to own in city . it handles well, accelerates quickly, and easy to park. Not so good for more than 2 people or for hauling any large objects.

Good car, bad reliability

Its been a great car overall. Its comfortable and nice to ride in. The sound system seems to be a little lacking but it's not as bad as I've experienced before. Only complaint I have is the transmission issues. I know it's a dual clutch auto and the shifting doesn't bother me, we have had the clutch replaced twice now. I'm glad that outs under warranty because once that is up I'm selling. I won't pay for a new clutch every 20k miles.

Not happy with.....

This is the second one I have owned, and they still have not corrected the issues of the car needing new tires on it every year! It does not matter if they are high dollar tires or low end tires. The set I have now, have only been on the car for four months. I have been told the car is too light in the back, so it is wearing the tires out because of turns. I still owe on the car and have no means of getting a different one. Won't get another one.

2014 Ford Focus

Car has plenty of room for me (5'7") in both from and rear seats, it may be a bit tight for someone taller. Smooth riding car even on bumpy county roads. Averages 35-37 mpg. Handles decent in the snow and rain. Mine has been reliable for me so far, has only needed regular maintinance. Overall would recommend.

Wonderful car for my long commute!

I think the Ford Focus serves well as both a commuter car and a family car. It's comfortable and reliable and the gas miyis excellent!

Love the gas mileage

I love the look of this car and the gas mileage. I must say I have had a hard time getting use to the DPS6 transmission. I have noticed that if I take off very slowly and allow the gears to shift I don't feel the shuttering as I do if I take off too quickly. After the first 2 or 3 gears the ride is very smooth. I probably would not have purchased this ford focus if I would have know the transmission acted the way it does. If not for the transmission the car is awesome.
