Used 2012 Focus SEL Sedan

By Austinrider1 (OH) on Friday, December 28, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 38,000

Pros: "The Interior, Exterior, Radio and Exceleration."

Cons: "Nothing for 5,000 so far."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought the car at the end of October. I got it used and acordding to car facts it was a rental car. I got the car at 32,400 miles and currently have 38,000. I drive 75 + miles a day 7 days a week at times and I honestly love this car. I had a 2006 Toyota Corolla prior to this car and I liked the Toyota but it always felt cramped and like I never had enough power to get on and off the highway. I have had the car for 2 months now with a lot of driving and having people in the back seat regularly. So far I have not had an issue with their not being enoughg room even though one of my friends is 6'3" and had plenty of head room. I love the SYNC system and learned it very qucikly. I do understand where people are coming from with the tranny. But I have not had any issues with it. It accelerates very nicely and has incredible brakes. I love this car and enjoy the leather seats, moon roof,SYNC and it looks like a sports car instead of a gas sipper. I plan to keep it for quite some time and I LOVE this car!!!"

"I purchased this vehicle in July. I was looking for a vehicle that was good on gas. I decided on the Focus due to the looks of the vehicle and the fact I have owned several other Ford vehicles and have not had any major problems with them. I now have 3800 miles on the vehicle. I have not had any major problems with the vehicle. I like the features, comfort, ride, looks, and price of the car. The transmission does take getting use to. It is different from any car I have driven before but now I am use to it and it seems to be working fine. In fact the transmission seems to smooth out with the more miles I put on the car. I am satisfied with the car and do recommend a test drive if you are looking for a small car with good gas mileage and you can tolerate that the transmission will feel different than most cars."

Attractive, great driving car

By Shawn (TX) on Thursday, March 29, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 9,700

Pros: "Good looks, fun to drive, fuel efficient"

Cons: "Transmission was jumpy at times, but is OK now."

"It's a good looking car. Has good pick up; and handles great. I'm getting 40 mpg most of the time; Once I got 42. The transmission initially was a little herky-jerky, but Ford came up with a fix for that. Took it to the dealership, and they programmed a new code for the transmission, which is now operating smoothly. Nothing to dislike so far. An attractive, fun to drive, fuel efficient car."

Excellent mpg, and drives great.

By Shawn H (TX) on Sunday, August 19, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 4,500

Cons: "No major qualms at this time."

"I bought my 2012 Ford Focus S Sedan in May 2012. It's a looker, very attractive, sporty style. Very smooth ride. Handling is amazing. Good pick up. I have a lighter foot than most, but still I'm averaging 42 mpg overall (!). They say it drives like a car 2 or 3 times the price, and I believe it. It's a car a driving enthusiast would enjoy. Quite pleased."

By jeff (IN) on Wednesday, December 12, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 15,684

Pros: "Great ride. Very quiet. Cool looks. Great MPG!!"

At dealership before windows were tinted. Coolest one there!

"My family leases a 2012 Titanium Sedan, loaded and we love it. It drives very well and is quiet and smooth even at 80+ MPH! Very nice interior and our Sync system has performed as expected. Some reviews knock the automatic transmission...I cannot say ours has ANY bad or balky shifts. We get complements from people all the time about how cool it looks...we got the Yellow Blaze Metallic paint with Black 17" wheels. Our kids are under 10 yrs old so back legroom has been no concern. I love this car and will buy it when the lease is over."
