 This has been a great car so far. It has approx 12k miles on it already. I have not had a single issue. I did upgrade it with a cold air intake that has increased my horsepower, and got me more mpg! Also the cold air intake by Roush gives it a nice sporty sound when accelerating. I have not had any issues with its transmission, this could be because I drive with a heavy foot. Overall I am happy with my Ford Focus SE equipped with the Sport appearance package.
