2014 Ford Focus consumer reviews

Ever since the first Focus was sold in the USA in 2000, that's been my car. They fit me....who wants to get in a car whose seat is so low, you have to struggle to get out of it? Sitting in a Focus drivers seat is like sitting in a chair. I ordered a 2014 Titanium from the factory, so I could make sure it had everything I wanted...most everything was standard already, but I did get the moon roof. The backup camera is fantastic and saves me a lot of anxiety in tight parking lots. The SYNC system works very well, and even though I plugged in a USB with several Gigs of music, the car had it all indexed in no time. It's a joy to drive, really.

I own a 2014 Focus SE with the Appearance Package. It's a great looking car and has plenty of features. I love the Sync system, heated seats, leather, moonroof etc. Cons about the car: The seats are a bit stiff and not too supportive. The sound system is average and you'll need a subwoofer to feel any bass (if you're into that). The BIGGEST issue with this car is it's quirky automatic transmission. I had the transmission reprogrammed at 3,000 miles and the clutches replaced at 6,000. The car shudders, shakes and hesitates upon take off. In the past it has lunged forward, acted like it was going to stall out, and had a loss of power. Many people have complained about this yet Ford hasn't issued a recall. Avoid any of Ford's vehicles that are equipped with the PowerShift transmission. It's a complete headache and generally unsafe.

My car's electrics completely stopped in less than 30 days / under 300 miles. Faulty battery - something not expected from a brand new vehicle.

great road trip car got 40.1 miles per gallon. easy to handle . great comfort can travel over 300 miles on a tank of gas great car.

I just love my car. I traded in my 2008 focus for this new one and I couldn't be happier. The gas mileage is awesome and runs very smoothly. I have only owned it a few weeks and am taking a road trip in about a week and we'll see how it does then. Somethings have been switched around from the 2008, but I'm getting used to those changes. Seats are very comfortable and everything is easily accessible from the driver's seat.

I have a 2014 Focus SE for about 6 weeks and the car handles, accelerates, breaks, steers very well and it has nice styling. Fuel mileage is great. Only minor issue is the car is a little jerky at low speed, probably transmission related. I wished there was a little more storage in the front for change, pens, etc. Otherwise good value and very happy.

This car is all and more than I expected. I ask for a car with out the"Bell and Whistles" and I got a lot more. I bought this car with out even road testing it.I can hardly wait to go on a road trip.

I bought this car at Finish Line Ford in Peoria, Illinois. My car salesman was Rick Kortemeier and he was fantastic to deal with; very charismatic and helpful. I have not bought a vehicle since 2004 and Rick made it less painful. Great car, great salesman.

MY HUBBY JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 FOCUS TITANUM 3 WEEKS AGO AND NOW THE PAST TWO NIGHTS IT WONT START. EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHTS ARE ON IN THE DASH (WHICH TELLS YOU THE BATTERY IS NOT DEAD) JUMP STARTING IT HELPED IT START. YOU WOULD THINK A BRAND NEW CAR WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE. HE GOT THIS CAR TO COMMUTE 47 MILES TO WORK, IT GETS HIM THERE THEN IT WONT START FOR THE RETURN TRIP. HIS OLD CAR WITH ALL ITS PROBLEMS SEEMS MORE RELIABLE, AT LEAST IT WOULD START EVERY TIME. I ALSO FIND THIS CAR HAS A BUMPY RIDE AND UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS. IT ALSO HAS NO LIGHT IN THE GLOVE BOX WHICH IS INCONVIENET BECOUSE GLOVE BOXES ARE DARK INSIDE.

I went ahead and got this car hearing that Ford has improved and their transmissions have improved. After owning my brand new ford focus for nearly a year, the car already runs like it has been driven for 10.
