Friend of mine got a new Focus high performance model last year. His manual transmission leaks oil and he can't even get into a dealership to have them inspect it because their service departments are all backed up doing recalls. He has had other glitches with it too in a one year period. He even called the factory and they did nothing for him except tell him to wait. Ford's last really good cars were the rwd full size cars. The electronics in the recent cars are annoying at best.
