 I've had this car almost two years now and the transmission is absolutely terrible. Always slips, pain to take to the shop. Apparently its "supposed to run like that". No it should not. It also has a huge hesitation a good majority of the time when accelerating. Such a new car should not run like that. And both the slipping and hesitation are noticeable to even the least car-knowing person out there. A little sad if you ask me. Also the electrical component is borderline crap. So many times of troubleshooting and changing fuses because the bluetooth or USBs refuse to work. SYNC handsfree is also not very good. I've tried to use it and it's more of a distraction than an actual help because its so bad. HOWEVER, It is a super comfortable car. Long car rides are not bad at all. When on the freeway it is a pretty smooth ride. Cruise control works great. The interior lighting is very nice. The back seats could be a little more spacious if you ask me. But the cargo space in the trunk with the hatchback is very great. But, once my lease is up I will not be getting the focus again. A little upsetting if you ask me.
