2017 Ford Focus S 2.0
Summary:
An exciting compact car
Faults:
Nothing since it isn’t even 2 years old.
General Comments:
I bought the Ford Focus new in 2017 for 16k dollars out the door. It is the base S model.
Anyway, nothing has gone wrong so far; it isn’t even 2 years old. The 2005 Mustang I traded in for it had 135k miles on it and was still running strong. But I needed four doors but still wanted something lively to drive. So far the Focus has been excellent. It has plenty of power and really good handling/suspension. The cabin isn’t noisy on the highways like you would expect from a compact car, and after driving 7 hours in it I do not feel tired.
I do have the DCT transmission, which some people have complained about. But I never had an issue with it. It does sometimes make some funny noises for an auto, but not unusual for a manual that's in the wrong gear. But this only happens seldomly when you are accelerating from a stop.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
