Ford Focus 2014Change

This is a great car, however not sure if I like the standard transmission in an automatic... it seems to rev high at times on its own.

I thought this car exceeded my expectations, it did really well in all key aspects, gas mileage, handling, comfort, etc..

Great car for in the city. It is a 4 cylinder so does not have a lot of get up and go but is very good on fuel. I like the red color.

Beautiful car. Fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Beautiful inside and out. Haven't had any serious problems with this vehicle. Overall a great ride. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy a vehicle.

3 weeks after i got the car brand new there was a problem with the clutch. I took to it to the dealer and there replaced it. 2 months later the same problem came up.

I recently purchased a used Focus, and hands down it is the best car for the money I have ever had the pleasure of owning. It is extremely comfortable, and responsive. The heated seats are a God send in the cold of winter, and the layout of the vehicle is both comfortable and functional. I cannot recommend this car enough for those looking for a dependable, comfortable, and enjoyable car.

I love my car. It's electric blue and a hatchback. The comfort while driving is great. I test drove a few other cars before purchasing, but I knew this one was the one when I drove it for the first time. Ample leg room, and it feels sturdy to drive. I have had no problems with it since I purchased it 3 years ago.

I just recently got out of this car, thankfully. I got it brand new in 2014 and have had transmission issues pretty much since I drove it off the lot.

I was told "this is how this car is suppose to handle. It handles like a manual transmission, but the computer is doing the shifting."


I do not even feel safe driving this on the highway, because it jerks and sputters. I worry about merging and the car losing power.

After about four reprograms as well as a clutch replacement at less than 9,000kms, I decided to give this car up.


After the clutch replacement I got a notice on my seat from Ford Canada explaining how this transmission is suppose to behave. I felt quite insulted as it made it out that those of us complaining don't know how to handle a standard feel of a car. I know how a standard is suppose to behave and this car does not respond as a standard.

I compared the shifting to allowing a six year old drive a standard with no prior experience driving. This is how this car may feel.

My brand new car was erratic in first and second. I brought it in and the transmission specialist even said that they have never seen anything like this happen in the many years experience they had working on transmissions. I had mentioned what I had read about the transmission leaking fluid onto the dry clutch and causing it to slip. They actually agreed with that. That Ford replaces the clutch instead of the leak.

I have heard other stories about people needing a new clutch every six months. This repair would get very costly after the warranty has expired.

There are many lawsuits in the USA in regards to the Focus and the Fiesta. They both have the same transmission, so please be aware of that.

Shame on you Ford.

I bought this car because of it's practical aspects while remaining a sports car with space to haul people and groceries. It is very fun to drive. If you like to drive you'll avoid freeways. Windy roads and wild oversteer mean you have to actually drive it. Passing is fun. Tap the gas and there is lots of power left in top gear. Put the 94 octane gas in and enjoy even more power.

Bought this Car Brand New, Absolutely love it!
handles amazing, very fast for a 2.0L 4 banger. Although very torquey its very fast and very easy to handle.
interior design is second to none, the mircosoft sync is a very nice touch, allowing for mobile device or mp3 or iPod hook up very convenient and very fun to use! very sporty for a standard edition.
Id highly recommend heated seats, very nice for the winter!
Fuel economy isn't great in the cold. however summer time is better for it adding an additonal 100kms to the fuel milage per tank.

all in all very nice car, technology is amazing for a domestic brand vehicle id recommend to anybody looking for a newer vehicle!
