170k miles, everithing original and still going

had the car for 5 years from 70k to 170k with zero repairs and still going , now i have a challenge to see how far it will go with no repairs and how far it will go with its original engine and transmission(oil change at every 7k). The interior is basic. The car was bought after a big accident and still managed to make it to 170k miles, a good value for the money.

Car has never run right since new

This car is my first and last Ford. It's the Focus ST. It's supposed to make about 250 hp, but I don't think it makes anywhere near that most of the time. I got it new. Sometimes it's very powerful like it's supposed to be. But most of the time it is sluggish. It has enough power to go safely down the road, but it's supposed to be an exciting car. If I wanted something with just average power I would have gotten something with better gas mileage. It also has a tendency to stumble and die when starting from a stop. Ford wasn't able to fix it either problem when it was under warranty. I think they didn't really even try. Part of my problem with the car is the Ford dealers. Their service departments seemed incompetent or unwilling to do anything other than basic maintenance. There is also a piece of windshield trim that fell off Ford replaced it under warranty, but shortly after the warranty was up it fell off again. I paid Ford to replace it again and it fell off a third time. Now I just drive around with the trim piece missing. Another quality issue is the door speakers. They cause rattling in the doors whenever there is little bit of bass. It's extremely annoying. The front suspension makes a loud clunking sound over bumps too. It has done this since new. And again the dealership could never do anything about it. "They all do that" apparently. I can't wait until auto makers can start producing sufficient inventory again so I can offload this thing and get something from a better brand. TL;DR: I'm very disappointed with this car and with Ford in general. Can't wait to get rid of it.

Ford Focus

My Focus is easy to drive and consistently reliable. The maintenance is simple, with minimal expenses. I have appreciated the stylish design as well as the visibility via windows and through the side and rear mirrors.

Unhappy

The 2013 model of the Focus has the dual transmission. It is horrible to deal with. I’ve had 2 clutch’s put in and was told it will never be right. It has the jerking when you start up. The interior has not held up at all. There was a class action suit filed against Ford because of the problem with the car.

REPLACE THE TRANS CPU and its 4star

As long as you replace the cpu it’s all good. Although, my trans did give out on a hill and I happened to be able to neutral backwards into the gas station nearby, so, that’s noteworthy. After replacing the cpu never had an issue even close to that.

Uh what

GREAT AT FIRST! But now it stalls after starting once I shift into reverse.... and then it dies for 5-10 minutes and starts back up again. RIDICULOUS. Ford has got to fix something. It is dangerous for mt car to be stalling and shutting down randomly.

2013 Ford Focus

My Focus has never had any major issues, I have 150.000 miles on it and I have only had to replace the starter. An just basic maintenance stuff i.e. brakes, oil, tires, and battery. Ford did a horrible job building it though.frfr

Great Idea, poorly executed.

I bought my 13 focus in 2018, and it has been a dreadful experience. It's the newest car I've ever owned, also the least reliable. The mileage is great, and the car is snappy when it works right. But none of it's pros matter when the transmission continues to die out on you. I would avoid at all costs. I will never purchase another Ford again.

Focus Transmission NOT FIXED

Car failed due to transmission warranty problem. I had it towed in, rented a car, and you installed a new control problem. The car now starts and runs but the transmisson still stutters significantly. It WAS NOT FIXED. Please fix it. Otherwise the car is fine.

Affordable

The transmission was junk. The transmission needed repair that cost me $500 plus $250 for car rental. Northgate did not stand behind a car that had a bum transmission when it was sold to me. Fred

Fair to good

Needs more factory warranty options or reasonable dealerships warranty options. The car is starting to beome a money pit to me because of the long Duluth, Minnesota winter seasons. The past 2 winter seasons haven't been kind to my 2013 SE model.

I would have chosen another car if I knew

When I got my car from Ford, it had almost no ability to accelerate properly. They kept telling me this was normal for my car, but it was dangerous getting into traffic because it just didn’t speed up. After complaining to them several times and paying for them to check my car again and again, they finally admitted there was an issue and completely replaced my transmission. A week or two later, the same issue came back. I took it back to them (by the way, every time they say they road tested it and found nothing wrong with it) and they again said it was normal. I had it looked at by an independent shop and didn’t tell them what the issue was to see if they’d notice on their own, and they said the transmission had issues. I let ford know, and they kept saying they didn’t have any appointments available to fix it every time I called them, until my warranty finally expired. I would have chosen a different car right from the start of I knew about all this. Bonus issue: when plugging in either the USB port or the car charger port (the clunky round one) it does not charge my phone AT ALL. My phone dies faster than it charges. Every other car I’ve had charges my phone just fine, this one just puts out nearly zero power for chargers.

2013 Ford Focus

The transmission in this car is a complete pieces of junk! I purchased this car new & have been the only driver. After service it drive nice for awhile & then it's back to bucking on take off! I HATE IT! Worst investment I ever made. Oh, it only has 58,000 miles on it after 5 years. So it's not like I've been mean to it.

Great vehicle

I ve had my 2013 Ford Focus SE for a few months now, and i must say it is one of the best cars ive had. THe look is sleek, sporty and for a hatch back, it is pretty roomy and very comfortable. My model has heated seats and this surprized me- it is a great addition. The car handles well, even in show with the traction control. The take-off speed is very good as well.

Good Car

It is not a bad car. Just low and small. Would not recommend for a family car. During snow time it does tend to get stuck since it is low. Overall, does save a lot of gas! Great drive for the highways.

Not reliable

I have a 2013 Ford Focus titanium. I have been in the shop 3 times for a clutch replacement(it’s an automatic car...) and once for an engine misfire as well as a recall on the door latches. I drive a lot and this car is not reliable. I regret purchasing it.
