Awesome looking ride! I came close to getting one in that color but we couldn't agree on a price for my trade in. I'm deciding on either a sterling gray or tuxedo black. Both have handling package with 18's. only difference between the two is the black gas the auto park feature, which isn't a big seller for me since I'm used to parking this big *** f150! Haha I am leaning towards the black though. It just looks slick

Yah the black looks awesome too. Especially if you get the sport pack. Very sporty and classy looking little car. The seats are also very comfy and supportive and it's easy to get a good driving position, even for a fatty like me.

I feel your pain about the gas. The new focus is pretty nice but get the manual. My wife and I test drove both manual then the auto and the auto was garbage. It shifted really rough and didn't like to down shift. Best part was the salesmen said it was "normal for the first 5k miles then gets better." I hope you have good luck with it though and glad your staying with Ford!

^ this. It's a chore getting it to downshift. Makes the car feel slow..stay away from the auto.

I disagree with the auto on the focus. This is one where the salesman is actually right. Ours took about 1000 miles to "learn" our style of driving. It shifts perfectly now.

Best of luck with the Focus - sorry to hear your truck has to go.

I have a 2012 Sedan SE model as a company vehicle - I've had it a month (inherited from a co-worker) and I am averaging 33.5 MPG in mixed driving.

My only complaint is the transmission - it sucks. It feels like it is searching for a gear when I accelerate from a stop, engine revs high and shifts oddly.

Other than that, I do like it although it is a little small for me.

Best of luck with yours - love the titanium version with the 18 inch wheels, looks great!

I had a 2013 rental for a week, as my 08 focus lost its water pump. 13 is not for me. Will stick to my 08.
As i returned to pick up my car, they asked how i liked it. And well i told em i was on the fence about it......come on like who really designed those front cupholders....jeez. No xlrge coffee fitting in there. Well all 3 service department staff actually agreed with me on this car.......i would probably skip the focus and look into a fusion next time.
But hey everyone has their own likes and dislikes......i mean i would overlook its shortcomings for the ST focus

Agree. I also drive a Focus as my everyday driver. I have the SE Sport. Great vehicle. I get 35 consistently.
