Honestly don't buy one. The transmission is notorious for having issues. Just look at all the discussions on here.

Itis a decent vehicle, 2013+ Focus's suck, never buy one. It is pretty good reliability wise, and it is pretty simple. The vehicle still has decent amount of life in it at 100,000. In my opinion, Ford makes more durable smaller vehicles compared to it's "American" competition. Ford is the way to go is you want an American car. 2014Ford Focus ST - what does r/cars think? Recently Ford has been cutting prices on '14 Focus Sts like crazy in my area and have a few nice incentives. I'm in the market for a new car and want to drive something thats fun, practical, and at least a bit economical. The ST seems to check all those boxes according to what I've read and watched Ifyou can wait for the 2014 Focus ST it might have solved some of the more common problems that the 2013 had.

Enginesare good, Transmissions are meh, build quality is meh, overall they’re good reliable beaters. Great as a first car or as something to drive in the winter. Most reliable focus ever built is 08 to 11. 06 and 07 are decent, the bugs were fixed by then. Get a stick shift.
