I think those ST have a limited slip differential so even better in winter! these generation focus have sure come down in price, the very low engine cover and overall ground clearance is not the best in heavier snow, but other then that a pretty good winter car!

Glad your focus was reliable. mines was in and out of the dealership for transmission issues up the day I hit 100k (transmission had a 100k warranty due to recalls) right before that I ran the transmission to the ground so I guaranteed they put in a new one. Now I'm at 115k and I feel the transmission trip. Also, my door latch randomly grave out on the driver side door in 2016 luckily I wasn't driving it (recall) as well and there is the random sync issues where it won't let me pair my phone until I unplug the battery. OTHER THAN THAT, the car has been reliable, the struts did give out around 2015 which I replaced but other than that only basic maintenance like fluids and oil (spark plugs at 90k) I had to replace nothing else. I feel like of I didn't have those transmission issues, this would hold up better than a Toyota or Honda which anytime I get into one of those from early 2010s I always feel like my Focus just drives, handles and feels better.

My 2012 SE has 97,500mi on her and still going strong! An upgrade I would HIGHLY recommend is a K&N intake system. Really opened up the engine and makes it way more zippy. It also pulls way harder, or at least feels like it does and the noise is sooooo nice. I also have an aftermarket sound system with subwoofer and it bumps. I also recommend the Steeda rear sway bar. Tightened up the handling a ton for what it cost and was easy to install. I’m like you and only use the best on it. I drive it very aggressively (especially with the mods) and it holds up to it well. I’ve done races with it against friends and it’s done really well, surprisingly so for its size and appearance. Sips on gas. Great little car!

The main issue I had is the solenoid controller assembly that moves the shift fork had a couple of failures. they've updated the software 14+ times now to get it right.

There are some interesting released internal Memos that came out a few years back on the doomed dry-clutch DSG project, how Ford was too deep into it to abandon it even though the engineers said it would never work right. Apparently in Australia they forced Ford to pull the DSG's and put in conventional Auto's they were so appauled by the failure rate.

Thanks for watching. I"ve got 175,000km on the Focus so far, the transmission is mostly covered until 240,000km. Its not ideal the trans issues, I think the later cars 2013+ had a lot less failures in general then the earlier 2011 ones. The values have plunged on these though, and its a whole lot of car for the money. But certainly a Civic\Elantra\Corolla\Mazda 3\Golf should be on your radar as well which all have conventional automatics or CVT's (which have their own issues). Best of luck in your search! (any older Focus as this point likely has had the trans repaired and\or solenoid packs replaced as well)

Hey there, I had the transmission shift solenoids break 2x, they're covered by a pretty long warranty now, but it did take them a few tries to get it right. Also the 1-2 shift is getting a little fidgity now. I think most of the issues were on the earlier 2011 and 2012 models, but I agree the trans issues are concerning. A lot of info came out in the last few years about how the design is a problem and was compromised from day 1. That being said, its worked well mostly over 170,000km, if you can find a titanium for a great price, probably a lot cheaper then a Civic of the same era, probably still worth taking a chance on it. Best of luck in your search!

Would $6,477 be an okay price for this car? I’m looking at a red 2012 sedan one with a little over 100k miles at a private dealership near me. I’m going to see if they’ll sell it to me for around $5,500 because I’ve seen people buying the same one with less mileage for cheaper than that.

@@andresbecerra315 Ahhh I wish somebody said something like this 2 months ago lmao!! Not your fault though, you probably just seen this and tried to warn me. I ended up getting a 2013 Ford Focus se at the same dealership I was talking about. They wouldn’t budge on the 2012 one but they brought the 2013 down to 5,999 (still high, especially because of what happened). I kind of felt odd when dealing with the dealers, but this was my first time getting a car. Well, not even a MONTH of having this car, I have to take it to a Ford dealership to find out what’s wrong with it. Not even a day of having the car i started feeling jittering and shaking when taking off from a low speed, it kept getting worse, to the point where it was scary and I thought my car was going to stop in the middle of traffic. And then as I was taking off in a parking lot my car stopped, power steering stopped, accelerator wouldn’t budge, it was my gears that got stuck between reverse and neutral and my car stalled. Anyway, so took it to the Ford dealership and dropped it off, they had a hard time getting a hold of my warranty so my car was in there for 2 days before it was looked at or touched. They call me 2 days later and tell me what’s wrong with it, my gear shift, the TCM, and something else in my transmission (I forgot the name). My gear shift wasn’t covered and costs almost 3k. Even though I have 2 different warranties (from what the dealership said where I got my car), so it should have been covered. So I talked to the Ford dealer who said 2 of the parts will be there over night and it could take up to 5 days to get the TCM, I’m like ah bummer, but whatever. Then I call him a little over a week later to check in and see how it’s going, the dealer said oh well we don’t have all the parts in yet, and the TCM could take weeks or months to get here!! I’m like wait a second, you said up to 5 days. And this whole time they didn’t have a rental available at all, I checked everyday. So about 4 days later, I get a call from them saying my car is ready to be picked up, it thankfully didn’t take super long to get the TCM, I got lucky. My car was still in there for 2 weeks though, and I got it back 5 days before my daughter started school. Let’s just say, the dealer who sold me the car, screwed me over big time, they said nothing was wrong with my car, and they lied about the 2012 one being in an accident, when one of the dealers was the previous owner lol. When I asked the guy one last time if there’s anything mechanically wrong with the car he said “oh well, you know, no there’s not but the thing is, we can’t open up the TRANSMISSION”, I never said anything about the transmission, so that tells me right there they for sure knew what was wrong with the car. I’ll be going into the dealership to talk to them about this because what they did was illegal and dangerous, these guys watched me get in this car with my daughter and drive off their lot, knowing there was something wrong with it, and didn’t disclose any of it to me. Oh one more thing, when the Ford dealer called to say my car was ready, he said one of my tires had a bubble in it, and that they all need to be replaced. I took it to American tires and got all of them replaced which cost another almost 600 dollars, and I got the warranty on them. Now my car runs beautifully, and feels amazing with the new tires, after spending almost 4K to fix everything 🙄 It was extremely stressful, and I’m still furious.

direct injection is not all that, it has known issues, and its a problem with the tech. normally, fuel injection will spray into the intake manifold, and the atomized mixture moves over the valves, which helps keep them clean. with direct injection, the injectors obviously inject the fuel directly into the cylinder, so the problem is, there is nothing washing the carbon from the valves , the valve seat, the intake etc. fuel system cleaner will usually help clean these areas with a conventional setup , but not with direct injection. all direct injection, from every manufacturer to my knowledge, has issues with carbon build up. eventually it will need a carbon cleaning. dont let me tell you tho just look it up. depending on what you consider expensive, this may not be to bad tho. otherwise direct injection is great, just know it does come with its own curse.

The 2.0L turbodiesel is a good pick, and the PowerShift paired to that engine is a different design than the garbage PowerS**t in the gasoline North America Focus.

Ford should have done what Chrysler did with the Fiat 500L when Chrysler replaced the trouble-prone Fiat dry dual-clutch trans with a regular torque converter automatic transmission after the first model year of 500L production in North America when the litany of complaints started rolling in. Probably Ford had too much money tied up in the PowerShift debacle to admit that it wasn't a good design. Even Ford Australia ditched the PowerS**t after 2014 in the Focus. The Detroit Free Press has emails from Ford engineers that the shudder couldn't be engineered out of the transmission. I feel it is 100% unlikely that Ford will replace the clutch pack for free again. The 1-2 shift in my car causes the trailer towing effect of lurch forward then back. I was driving up a slight incline recently and the clutches started to engage and disengage quickly and caused the entire car to shake. It hesitates a lot from stops also, and I worry that in an emergency the car will hesitate. I think it's time for another clutch scrub, as I'm sure the seals in the transmission have failed AGAIN and the clutch surfaces are coated in oil. Hyundai/Kia continue with dry dual clutch transmissions and use them in gasoline and hybrids/PHEVs. Those transmissions had a horrible reliability record in the first-year 2016 Tucson but apparently are a lot better now, and way better than what Ford uses. I still think the VW/Audi DSG is the best though, but it also has an expensive service of $400 CAD every 60-80K kilometres - this is required.
