Neutral: I think its a needed feature, all the time I see people not paying attention. Many a wreck because people not paying attention to whats in front of them.

I have a few times, but not in awhile. Hoping to get rid of it soon and afraid of breaking it again lol.

Has been the absolute worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. Transmission rebuilt 4 times, TCM gone out, HVAC jacked up, everything is rattling apart.

The motor (knock on wood) has been the most solid part of the car.

Acceleration is fine when it shifts correctly. My biggest issue was the DCT. Now my dual zone HVAC is wonky(no temp control, all hot or all cold) and I dont think there is an interior part that doesnt rattle now.

As an owner of a 2012 Ford Focus I say yes, avoid that first year at all costs. Also as the owner of a 2012 Ford Focus I say dont buy a car new...or a Focus.

He did, I had a black Geo Storm.

Nope sold it all and bought a ZX2

Clare High, but we were the Pioneers. We had 2, one coupe and then a droptop.

In highschool my buddy had a teal 93 Cavalier Z24 coupe. Put this awful body kit on it, underglow lights, a giant aluminum wing with fart can, chrome Lexani wheels, chrome pin striping, and on the windshield in chrome lettering it said Bling Bling.

I see this a lot at the grocery store so I will wedge my car in (if in Focus) so they cant get in :)

Neutral: Yes Im buying a new daily driver. Looking at one of the Elantra Sports, been seeing some pretty good deals on both new and used ones. Same with the Elantra GT Sport and Kia Forte SX. These are sitting on the lots long enough dealers are doing whatever they can. One dealer even as an unsold 2017 Forte SX with…

Its severe sarcasm, but in the sense that I find it hard to believe it didnt have a power seat to begin with.

Power seat is a game changer #YearoftheTaco

I dont find it too bad, its like a 2nd gen Mazda 3 with a bigger greenhouse. My issues lie with the interior design. 

Oh believe me, I know. My local dealer has tried to get me to buy an EcoSport as an “upgrade” from my Focus. 

5th Gear: Soooo should I not buy Fords?

1st Gear: I’m sure GM said soory.

To a smaller degree yes, should have a beautiful exterior design and top notch build quality. Still the main purpose of luxury is a beautiful and luxurious interior, otherwise whats the point.  

I really dont consider the 3 a premium offering. The interior doesnt stack up at all against other premium offerings.
