Just got my 2018 Ford Focus SE. Its awesome. The handling the pick up the comfort just amazing. I have own other Ford Focuses and will be staying with them. If they are well cared for they last forever. When I traded in my older focus for this one it had over 200,000 miles and was still going strong.

Don't Buy

The clutch assembly was recalled and fixed once then it went again after 6 months, the power train started to fail right outside of the 60,000 miles power train warranty the power train started to go before that but Ford never fixed it because it was all in my head. Then once the factory power train warranty ran out Ford service the head mechanic there told me that I should have known about the power train defects and purchased the extended power train warranty. Ford knows about the defects but won't do anything about it... Don't buy stay away like the plague and like your life depends upon it because it does.. If you smell burning rubber in your engine just remember you drove over a plastic bag and it got stuck in the muffler. It has nothing to do with a bad clutch assembly because we replaced the clutch assembly due to a recall but it has nothing to do with it being faulty. That's everything that a Ford dealership told me.. Ford cars no longer last 250,000+ miles and they don't stand behind their products anymore like they used to. Corporate greed. Don't buy anything with Ford in its name Ever.

Started running rough in 6 gear

Very economical with a decent look for an affordable price. RAN GREAT for 5,000 miles and now when I drive in 6th gear, it’s starting to “shutter” or “miss” a bit off and on. I’m wondering if it’s going to cause any transmission problems down the road like it’s sister automatic packages... I guess we will see

I bought this car new in march of 2018. As of may 2020 I have 40,000 miles on it. I have had NO issues with it. All I have done is basic maintenance. Pros: Great fuel mileage (avg of 42mpg over 5k miles) Comfort, it's very comfortable for me. Price Looks good Very reliable. Handling Cons: It is a bit underpowered Before sound deadening, it was a bit loud inside Sync can be a bit temperamental.

Biggest mistake ever!

Bought this car with less than 30,000 miles on it in 2018.... since then have already had to put over a grand in repairs into it... not at 64,000 miles (just 4,000 miles past the power train warranty) we are being told that it needs a whole new engine!!! Ford won't do anything to help us and the dealership will only give us 5K for trade in for it. We now have to figure out how to come up with 6K for a piece of crap car that we don't even want anymore! Never again will I EVER buy a Ford vehicle!
