I purchase this vehicle after driving one from Arizona to California. The car drives very nice and has a lot if good features. The sync system has a good interface and is very user friendly. The gas mileage is amazing, it averages 35 mpg + on the highway. The Sony radio is clear, the speaker locations are perfect and the bass is above average. The issues with the vehicle is that the engine is sub par built. The dual clutch had to be replaced after 31,000 miles, it is rattling at 61000 miles, and there is a carbon buildup on the intake that is causing it to sputter when idling. This began at 36000 miles and has been clean 4 times. All in all it is a nice car, but Ford needs to review the issues they have always had with the engines.

At first I thoroughly enjoyed my 2012 Ford Focus. The radio was very nice, it had Bluetooth connectivity, and it was comfortable to drive. I loved being able to use E-85. Then it slowly started to develop issues. One headlight would be out one day, then on the next. Nobody could figure it out. Then the car would not start most of the time. You turned the key. I would have to sit, for hours sometimes, turning the key 100+ times before it would finally, randomly start. Then it started be to slow and sluggish taking off and speeding up. Next, it left me completely stranded twice before I finally bought a replacement. I now have two car payments and one drivable car. The transmission went out at 140K.
