 Transmission is worst I've ever seen. Auto that feels like it's slipping. Terrible lag. Dealer (Freeway Ford) says that's normal for this type of transmission. JUNK transmission. Don't buy an automatic Focus.I ended up trading away. Lost my butt on it. Now, a couple of years later, Ford supposedly is going to offer a settlement to those that still have the Focus. Nothing to those who got rid of them so far. Disgusting thing is Ford knew all along the automatic transmission was junk. Yes, Junk!
