Transmission failure twice in 60K miles. Paid for by ford, with rental so not so bad. Loved all else, except it was noisy on the highway. Probably tires as they still had about 25% wear left at 60K. RF window motor went out. Did not replace due to $300 to do so. I drove mostly freeway so did a lot of miles...overall avg MPG was 35. Performance was great, drove like a sports car. Look at reviews, if transmission gets fixed, great car.

I like the gas mileage this car offers, it has saved our family plenty of money. The handling is precise; I feel safe driving this car during any weather. Safety was the reason we choose this car, it was rated highly. It silenced all worry I had about Ford reliability, I am very glad that I chose this car instead of a foreign one.

i would recommend this car to anyone, you will love it the first time you drive it, lots of technology, you can go a whole week on a full tank of gas, powerful enough to have fun with and maintenance isn't expensive over all great car to have

This car is perfect for my commute between Baltimore and Washington. It gets great gas mileage, its comfy, and is very reliable. The acceleration leaves a lot to be desired but, its fine for my gridlocked commute. Love SYNC and the ability to stream Pandora.

The car drove very well. Loved the fuel economy! It had a very sharp looking aero dynamic body style. The ride was very pleasant even on less than perfect roadways. Other than being cramped for room with the grandchildren on board and the low ride, I have nothing but good to say about the 2012 Ford Focus.
