 It all seemed like a good deal, great milage, good engine, comfortable ride, but all the bells and whistles don't mean jack if you have a garbage transmission. it's [non-permissible content removed] to take into account all the good aspects of this vehicle if one of its most important and expensive mechanisms is garbage. Great milage, a good engine, the comfort of the ride, all the technology, and safety features mean jack if your vehicle's transmission goes out, our vehicle is eleven months old. 2015 year model.  The vehicle has only had eight oil changes, and the transmission goes out??? That is a serious issue.  Besides this Ford Focus (on the transmission Issue) I also own both a Chevy and a Toyota that are well over ten years old, one with 130000 miles and the other with 235000 miles on it, and i'm yet to experience this type of issue with either vehicle. There is a reason why this vehicle is so affordable... it's simply cheaply made. Manufacturers of these types of vehicles obviously Focus more on the aestetics (as if) of the product than the quality of the product itself.
