Worst decision

I bought this car and haven’t had it for more than 2 days and the transmission is being serviced because it’s slipping in first and third gear at only 50,000 miles.

Looking forward to driving this for a while!

This car is exactly what I was expecting but upgraded. I chose to get my 2nd Ford Focus and so far so good!! So much cool technology and nice design packed into a medium size car!

Nicest Car I have ever owned

I absolutely love this little car! It has so many quality features that I can't believe it is a economy car. I could not be happier with my selection and the value for my money.

No issues or problems so far,with over 46500 miles

A fun car to drive, handles and drives very well. Gas mileage is over 40MPG highway. Seating is comfortable except for the backseat and cabin is cramped. This car has lots of features and technology for the money. Overall a great value. My only complaint so far is the transmission has a slight stumble when in the lower gear when going from a complete stop, it is hard to get use to this and doesn’t always do this consistently.? I very much like driving this car!

Love the hatchback design but the transmission suc

Beautiful hatch back and the blue candy paint is beautiful, I bought this car for my wife and she loved it until about 10,000 miles the transmission starting slipping or shuttering . Carried it back to The Ford dealer and I was told that the tranny was supposed to slip or shutter when it shifted . I was told that there was nothing wrong . I asked the Ford dealer why did it take 10,000 miles before it started this shifting crap !!!! I have purchased 5 new Fords over the years and I am very dissatisfied with this 2017 focus. It’s time to trade before the warranty runs out !!!!

Great Value

This car has met all of our needs. We put a ton of miles on it over the past year and a half and haven't maintained it as well as we should have, but its still running without any issues. (60,000 miles) all it has needed are new tires, brake pads, and oil changes. The transmission is sometimes a little odd sounding - shutters a little, and not as strong/tight feeling as it was when we purchased the car (continuous transmission). The interior feel, solid road feel, and great gas mileage have you feeling as though your driving a more expensive car than what it is. I've really enjoyed this vehicle and would recommend it to anyone trying to save money on a new or lightly used car.

Most excellent major purchase I have ever gotten.

Overall I love it. The styling is gorgeous. I have never and will likely never need any major maintenance on it. Ford has the power to surprise.

Will never buy a Ford again

I loved the fact that it had the perks of an SUV with the great gas mileage of a small car but that?s where the benefits end. I bought it brand new last year and have already had the clutch replaced twice and the touch screen is faulty. It flickers from dim to bright, and the backup camera glitches. Sometimes the screen goes black altogether. Thank goodness it?s under warranty because it would have cost me multi thousands of dollars to repair. Incredibly disappointing.
