Transmission Issues

This car is great on gas especially using the E85. The Bluetooth compatibility is great with any smartphone. The thing that has been the most frustrating is the transmission problem. It’s a good car but once the warranty expires no one wants to have to keep revisiting the same issue.

Okay car

This car is okay but the transmission could be a lot better. The jerking and hesitation is a real pain in the neck. Then the front wheels never get traction after starting from a complete stop even though i paid a lot of money for the best tires but otherwise it is a okay car. It gets me to where i need to go since i am a nanny and transport 3 kids.

2012 Ford Focus SE

I think this vehicle is made of poor quality parts. There are things breaking down that should not be breaking with the low miles that it has...the transmission has been worked on 4 times if not more, the computer chip, the coolant recovery tank and the Thermostat/gasket, plus numerous items...

Ford Focus Hatchback

The car runs well. The gas mileage is very good. But there is some concern with the auto transmission. It hesitates in drive at times.

Ford Focus review

I have had 4 focus vehicles and have been very pleased with them. My 2012 gets between 38-41 miles per gallon on the highway. I am disappointed that I have had to replace my radio on this car and my gas gauge went out and I didn't replace it because of the cost, over 600 dollars . Every thing else has went without any problems.

2012 Ford Focus

My Ford Focus vehicle has been fun to drive and gives me the versability to drop down the rear seats and makes it able to use the trunk area for larger than normal and also longer items for my DIY things I have to do. I am 79 yrs. old and just love my Focus.

Not worth owning one

Have had nothing but issues with my car since I drove it off the lot. Plus I bought this brand new. Would never recommend this type of car to anyone. Would buy a bicycle first. At least that's dependable

Ford Doesn’t Stand Behind Their Customer

Bought a 3 year old Focus with a branded title. It was in a side swipe avpccident and repaired to pre-loss condition. I didn’t know that because of this, I would lose all warranty and support of Ford. They have clear defective issues with this model that are well known with the clutch and transmission. They should be recalls and not warranties, but their not and because of this I’m told “you have a branded title and all your warranties are void”.

Parker Ford agency is so much better than the previous one.

The service personnel and the new waiting area is really great!

A Great ride

We have owned our Ford Focus for almost 5 years and it has been a great, reliable car. There is a lot to be said for this stylish, 4-door sedan. Beyond it's sporty body type and well lit dashboard, there's plenty of room - front and back. This is a standard (5-speed stick shift). We have driven many cars with standard transmissions, this Focus is No.1 in shifting smoothness.

Great little car.

Love this car. It's small but not too small. Great power, features, MPG, handling and style. Bought ours used for our daughter's first car and couldnt be happier.
