2014 Ford Focus Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Stay clear of the Ford Focus SE 2014 -2018. Transmission is a ticking time bomb. Very unreliable. TCM among other transmission issues. Left me stranded more than once. Thank God I had USAA roadside support. Finally got fed up with it, trade it in for KIA RIO S.

It has good features. Lane change alerts would be good, better than some small cars, like the Sonic

I like how it looks and handles. It is very quiet and very smooth, especially around corners and over pot holes. I am very impressed overall with both the feel and maintenance and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Love it!

This is the first hatchback I have ever owned. This car handles pretty good and great fuel economy. I have always owned mustangs so it was very different owing this car. Over all this is a great car. The mods are out there to improve it and the market is still growing.

This model year had a transmission problem that I learned Ford knew about but went ahead and sold the car anyway. The only good news is that Ford is willing to fix it for free because of a settlement they gave to fix this issue. So it should be good to go after the fix. Everything else on the car is excellent however.

I liked the gas mileage, the handeling it has, i liked the Bluetooth system, i liked the look of the car, also the front seats are very comfortable. I disliked the small space, and how light the car is, the back seats are not that comfortable.

I rented one of these and had it for about 2 weeks, it only had a few thousand miles. I expected the compact size to be an issue due to my size but it wasn't. I was very comfortable driving and as a front passenger as well. It was just my wife and I so we did not have anyone in the back. Which was good as I was able to move my seat back to a comfortable position. This did not leave much leg room for a rear passenger though if we would of had one I would of been forced to move my seat up and be a little crunched. The factory tires are bad in the snow, plan on needing a set of snow tires on the front. I got stuck in an inch of snow on a very slight incline and the transmission overheated within 2 minutes of trying to get out. The computer was polite enough to display a message asking me to apply the brake and displayed a countdown timer until it would be safe to go again. Also I could not get any traction when starting out from a stop in the snow when other drivers on either side of me had no issues. The trunk had a decent amount of space but the opening itself was not very wide. Larger laundry baskets were an issue in this sedan as you cannot get them into the decent size truck because of the opening itself being so small so you may want to opt for the hatchback if that is a concern. I had to put mine in the back seat. My wallet way pleased of course as driving half way across the state did not cost me much in fuel.

Great on gas and for the price good daily driver

I wasnt sure what to expect from this little car. I originally went shopping for it to get something with better gas mileage. Im a loyal for driver and so I went looking for that reason for the focus. Trying to find something with more horsepower than the fiesta, but lighter than a full size sedan. I originally thought I was going to settle on a fusion, but some of them were priced higher than I was willing to pay. So far the car has had good acceleration and has proved itself when it comes to fuel mileage. Its got so many amenities that Im not used to because I usually stick with more old school cars. So theyve been kind of fun. My only issue is it has a weird stutter sometimes in the transmission during acceleration from a stop. Overall though, its been a great car.

love this car, runs great and great mileage for commuting
