Still a good car after 14 years
by Everest on 3/1/2026 12:52:59 AM
Bought this car used in 2015 from the dealer after it came back off a lease. Its been a very good and dependable car after getting the transmission fixed, which was done under an extended Ford warranty. Only issue I have is the AC system which has a slow leak that my mechanic hasn't been able to find. I like that the car is solid, handles very well, gets good gas mileage and has a CD player, which I still use. - 5.0

I’ve owned Honda I’ve owned Toyota and i must say this 2014 ford focus has been an absolutely reliable vehicle! It’s been taken on a few out of state road trips It gets driven all around town it’s very comfortable and good on gas and it’s got some pep before getting this car heard nothing but horror stories now after having this vehicle for a few years Very glad took the chance I do believe it’s a hit or miss with the focuses in particular this one was a massive HIT These focuses can be absolutely EXCELLENT cars
