Electrical problems

I have this car for 1.5 months and it has already been 3 times in the garage with electrical problems. And even the Ford engineers can't find the real problem.

Great on gas

Was very pleased with the gas mileage. Averaging 35.5 mpg overall and 42 mpg on highway trips. 2.0 engine has plenty of power to accelerate to highway speed.

Most stylish car ive had

This car exceeded my expectations. Not only is it comfortable but it has so many great features and drives so smoothly. It has a good amount of power and still manages to get great mpg. There could be some more features but it still has plenty for me to use.

Small and compact but still room to move around!

I love the sound system and the touch screen. Everything I need is in my reach like a little cockpit. It does take a few minutes to warm up in the winter but the heated steering wheel makes up for it.

Very solid car at the price

Reliable. Not may bells or whistles but Bluetooth and a backup camera go a long way. Nice to see my avg miles per gallon and miles to go before a fill up. Pretty basic. 4 USB hookups work for my family. Small backseat. Not the most powerful car but gets 37 mpg on the highway, which works for me.

My Ford Focus Nightmare

The Ford Focus has Transmission Issues. My clutch went out multiple times and had to be repaired. The cost to replace the clutch is $1500. The gas tank is plastic and imploded after 2 years and shut my car down and I almost wrecked. The electrical wiring is cheap and my trunk would pop open 4 or 5 times a day while sitting in a parking lot or driving. The lug nuts were cheap and the tire wrench would not work when I had a flat tire. I was stranded. I had to replace all lug nuts. I hired a lawyer and Ford Settled with me instead of going to court. Do your homework before you buy this car. I spent allot of $$$ in repairs. I personally will never own a Ford Ever Again.
