I didn't know you could get the 2012 Focus already. Might be time to start test driving. I really want the ST hatch though so maybe I'll just wait.

true that , my sister cant drive a manual tho :/. And she likes the sedan, its def a cool car, and if u can see purchased at tousley!:) The salesman said they just got 2 in there today. I guess my sister pissed off alot of people that had plans to test drive it haha. She was there and almost buying a 2011 fusion when then they suggested this on the way out. She test drove it and saw the leather and sunroof and was sold! bought it around 12ish? i think...?

Those just came of the truck at Tousley on Friday, great looking cars!

I was shocked that Ford appears to have gotten the ride height decent this time, it's not a 4x4 like the old Focus and new Fiesta.

Great choice in color as well. :D

My buddy is working on it. They have tried a couple different programs for the tranny with no success. I don't know what they are doing yet, but Ford is in direct contact with my buddy

yea its a crazy lil quirk. but ford just called my sister and said its "semi normal" for the new transmissions to shutter? till there's more miles on it? wtf is that....??? i havent ever heard something like that before. They said what you said, focusmech, that they reprogrammed it a few times and its supposedly a little better, idk man, im not liking that explanation very much myself. That its "normal" and will go away after putting more miles on it. we shall see i guess, and hope for the best
