the many problems of owning a ford focus

[tidus1203]

If you prefer MT and a diesel, a Focus TDCI MT is a good bargain for used car buyers.

One major maintenance cost that can arise with MT TDCi Focus from the previous gen was the dual mass flywheel. That thing will give up eventually but unlike most cars that have cheaper single mass flywheels. The Focus DMF can go for 50K or even 60K in the dealers. Good luck finding one outside the stealerships.
