The2008-2011 generation Focus uses a completely different and far more reliable transmission from the current generation.That is unusually low mileage, and probably worth the asking price if it's in good shape and was well maintained. Check the blue book before making an offer.
Alsoask on r/ford. I own a Focus SE 2013, 6 speed dual clutch transmission sedan. The clutch in these cars are controlled by the computer. The reviews you are reading are likely before the update for the clutch was released. After the update it runs smoother. I have also read some clutches brake relatively soon but Ford covers that under warranty.
First we love the engine inside the 2014 Ford Focus. It has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine system with 160 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. There is an option for a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission as an optional addition depending on which you prefer to drive.

Iown a 2013 Ford Focus 127k miles, purchased for $4000 from private seller about 9 months ago. I have put $200 for a new battery and $400 for new
TheFocus has a better interior, better ride, better transmission (I'd take the 2013 DSG over Subbie's CVT any day), and better fuel economy, even without a bleh CVT. Cost to own and maintain will be lower on the Focus. And even with all those "boring" qualities, the Focus is a really fun car to drive.
Thatbeing said, compared to the competition, the 2013 Ford Focus suffers from a poor reliability rating, plenty of transmission problems, and clunky controls.
Thetensioners on the 3.0 are a lovely design too for the secondary chains but the system they use the VVT or whatever the hell ford calls it is horribly designed one time I found a whole solenoid for the VVT under the phaser on a police ford explorer interceptor when changing the water pump. Electricpower steering issues also weigh down the 2013 Ford Focus. Based on numerous reports, the power steering system abruptly failed and, in many cases, while driving at highway speeds. This reliability issue reared its ugly head at around 74,250 miles and may cost as much as $1,820 to repair. 4HbVD.
