2017 Ford Focus RS Hatchback by EurovisionNim — CC BY-SA 4.0 While Ford has been producing some great SUV and truck offerings lately, they have unfortunately halted several lines of smaller cars, including the popular Focus. Nowadays, the smallest Fords you can find are both under the Mustang badge: the classic Mustang coupe and the Mach-E hatchback. But if you are looking for a Ford that doesn’t break the bank at the dealership or at the pump, you can still find a wide variety of used Focuses from the 2015 to 2018 model years.

While popular among the masses, these vehicles aren’t without their issues. Similar to other Ford products of the era, the 2018 Ford Focus commonly has transmission problems. Among the most common issues with the Focus are transmission troubles that range from shifting to tremors that may affect the way your car drives and could leave you on the side of the road.
