Recently bought a Focus SE Sedan (would have liked a hatch but there weren’t many options in the area for the price I was looking for.)

Just south of 40k miles on it, really a huge difference from driving my 87 Escort GL hatch.

So, even after several years, Kinja is still absolutely awful huh?

Good god why is it still so damn awful. Frontpage post comments have still not gone back to being worth reading, from what I’ve seen.

Who’s still around? How’s everyone been?

We haven't met but I don't think I'm terrible! Nice car man?? What's the most striking difference you feel vs your old car?

Ride quality, mainly. The interior is like a spaceship comparatively with voice activation and hands free music and phone.

Did I miss the part where you mentioned you got a manual? Because... Please be a manual...

Unfortunately not. In the future I’d like to get a more fun ride with a proper gearbox. In the meantime I’ll have to ride my kz750 if I want to be able to assert my dominance over a clutch.

We've never met but I'm not a bad person I swear. Also, as one Focus owner to another, I feel bad for you.

Welcome to the angry fish Focus brigade, comrade!

That dual-clutch auto has some issues - software updates help.

Good pick! Focus is easily among the top three compact cars out right now that I can think of.
