 Do not buy the 2012 Focus. I will not be buying another Focus ever. This was my second focus. The first one was a 2003, manual transmission and it was actually a good car. But in 2012 Ford went to the DCT transmission and it obviously wasnt ready for production release. I've had this car in the ford dealership 8 times in two and a half years. Finally got the TCM replaced after taking it in three times on the issue of 'No Start' where the TCM doesnt allow the car to start. This left me stranded a couple times and ford would not replace it because they werent getting the right codes to read out when I would take it in, was very frustrating. The transmission is the worst ive ever experienced in any car. It hesitates so badly that I've almost caused a couple wrecks.
