 This was my very first car. Test driving it was exciting and everything ran smooth, I loved having an aux and something that drove smooth. Less than a day after buying the car, Ford's idiotic transmission problems shined bright. Every time I stepped on the gas the car would stutter forward, sometimes stuttering for more than 5 seconds (which is a long a** time to be stuttering) and finally lurched forward. At first I thought I was just on a bumpy road and my car was sensitive, until it did it constantly no matter where I was. It's been over a year of having it and I can't wait to buy a new car. DO NOT buy a ford focus, I do not know how so many people drive such a terrible car.
