I have owned varieties of the Ford Focus since the car first came out in 2000. Every version I have had has been a solid car. I love how compact it is, but also how the back seats fold down cleanly for a large amount of cargo space. I dislike the 2016 model's tendency towards difficulties with the "automatic standard" transmission. It hasn't really kept us from doing anything, but it can get annoying to drive with how the car sometimes shutters before/after stops or when shifting gears.
