 Had a 2005 focus hatch and it was a great car! Got t-boned at an intersection and it rolled but me and my 3 passengers walked away with scratches so it saved my life! Decided to get another one cus I was impressed with the previous one. Long story short, I traded it in for a Subaru because the transmission was bad. Had to take it to the dealer 3 times for transmission work and the Ford dealers are useless they just kept putting Band-Aids to mask the problem. Stay away from this car it will leave you frustrated.
