 I recently got in a car accident with this vehicle, and it was totaled. I’m starting to see that this was the best thing that could’ve happened, however. While the car handled well and I liked the vehicle, the transmission was AWFUL. Bought it with 20k miles and drove it to 34k. The transmission was jumpy, it shuttered intensely, and couldn’t accelerate well at all. Turned out to be dangerous. I knew there would’ve been expensive repairs ahead, so I’m happy to have gotten out of it when I did. The car held its value well. Overall, don’t buy this vehicle. Hopefully Ford fixes this transmission issue or owns up to it in 2012-2014 Focus. It’s a lemon. I drive a 2009 Taurus now and it’s a dream!
