2017 Ford Focus SE 85,000 Mile Review and Walk Around

[@wheatthin7315]

I have 93k miles on mine. Put 89 in the tank once every six fill ups of 87 and it made mine shift smoother and accelerate quicker. It tends to jerk quickly when accelerating but once you drive it for a bit, you get a feel for how to push on the gas to avoid the issue. when i first got it, i enjoyed it and slowly dreamed of getting a newer and nicer car but now now i’m just proud of it for living so well for me up to this point and i want to keep him as long as i can.

The "green thing" whatever you call it. That's a purge valve, they tend to commonly go bad, they were recalls about the purge valve too. Happened to me when the the rpms were going dropping down to 500rpm and felt like it wanted to stall whenever my car was at full stop. Had the issue you had where the light would always come on. For me, I found out that I when took the new aftermarket part out and inserting it back in, It fixed my issue and never had a single code or problem so far. Hoped that helped, could also be a faulty part you received.

[@Unknown007Unknownn]

That part you talking about is the pugre valve component. Used for the car engine emissions.

[@thomasshirley491]

I have the same exact car with 58,000 miles on the dash. So far, its been a smooth ride (Although this is NOT a snow vehicle). Just curious about future problematic issues. Thanks for taking time out of your life to make this vid, bro!!! Peace.

How's your vehicle now?

[@TKsGarage]

This was solid. Major salute

[@moonchildcrabby5328]

I'm 5'1", I love my 2017 ford focus hatchback 🥰 Parking is easy; good on gas. I agree, car battery placement is weird 😕

[@mohammadjawad8070]

What type of gas do you use ?

[@kevinwright4088]

The Ford engines look and sound awesome to most. I love Ferrari but these rally cars are my favourite in the wet/snow. The main job of the vehicle is you worked well open arrival and you did not crash I would get another one. Loving a Ford car is rewarding, Mr. Ford loved farming and I believe that is the best.

[@gavingreene7133]

I just bought a pretty grey one with 7 tiny dents from hail with 47k miles for $9.5 at a GSA auction. The market is rough these days….However, it’s better than $14k. I’m happy, but our dollar doesn’t go as far. It seams like a fairly sturdy car tho! I outbid someone and didn’t even realize it in all the chaos; it was public. This should get me through nursing school with my twins. I’m reading the manual rn to run the maintenance it needs. I’m hoping this car lasts, because I need it to…I’ll sell it in a year and hopefully get my money back. But I’m only going to put 7k miles on it.

[@ventuid]

i have the same year car with 97k miles and a sedan, had to replace the engine mount as it was going out causing vibrations all through the car. and the trans is starting to act up like a typical focus dual clutch, glad i still have plenty of miles left on a extended warranty i have

[@rhaymore]

Thank you for the review! A family member just bought one and am excited to see it!!!!

[@ethanlee-c3d]

Rylan I got one of these. Lots of people have a focus in the uk

[@kevinwright4088]

I love the architecture(layout) under the hood. I think I could work under the hood of one if I read up on its moving parts.

[@cindeeroberts7014]

I had to change that part as well! The code has to be cleared by a code scanner!

Thanks for the review I'm trying to find a car that's in my budget as a daily driver.

[@sugarrhapsody]

I'm currently looking for a new car, a drunk destroyed my beloved 2015 Sonic hatchback. Due to chronic pain issues I can't handle low cars like a sedan or a Honda Insight. How easy is this to get in and out of?

[@Whitesp44]

Appreciate your video. Was looking to buy a '17 SE sedan for my daughter but every thing I read says to stay away due to the clutch and transmission issues. No issues for yours? Thanks brother.

[@benpurvis1391]

They fixed the transmission issue in 16'

[@RuskFox]

Most of the issues that plagued older MK.3 Focuses (with the 6-speed PowerShift DCT) were fixed in 2015-2016 model years, and the 2017+ models stepped it up in reliability even more. I'm fairly certain they redesigned the clutch packs and were made of more durable material, etc. So it wasn't just software but hardware fixes too. Most people are too uneducated to really form a valid opinion. I've seen countless times people with complaints getting tons of things mixed up. A DCT isn't your typical torque converter automatic, never will be. So when people realized they weren't acting as such, people got upset and as such you'll see a fair bit of buyers imagining problems that is normal DCT behavior. I will however say, driving habits will really impact how long your DCTs clutches last, so keep that in mind and do a little digging into how to properly drive one. I own a '17 Focus S, never had problems with it so far and its nearing 45k miles.

[@Whitesp44]

@@RuskFox thanks. I bought a '17 Altima S . So far it seems like a great car for my daughter and I enjoy driving it. Good size car feels safe. Thanks for the education, appreciate it

[@fairfax_fran5109]

The transmission is very easy to service I work on mines twice every 40,000 I change the fluid it take a lil under 2 quartz to fill it up just change the motor oil with 5w 20 synthetic every 5000 and this car will run forever and in eco mode one green leaf mode can get 42mpg

[@casiguille1959]

Obd scanner and remove the code. Drum brake os cheaper, almost no maintenance

[@dazspurs9899]

it's always better to connect the negative to the ground on the chassis rather than the battery,also you have to be very careful jump starting a modern car you can easily burn something up in the ecu with a voltage spike

[@Prettybabie2365]

How is the sound system in it?

[@danielhuffman8752]

Mine has 101,000 miles on it I have the nicer one the sedan not hatchback still runs great and all but I’m ready for something new and I’m a ford guy and unfortunately they stopped making sedans so I’ll have to get a ford escape

[@ethanlee-c3d]

Cheap car said twice at least in this video so is it a nice car. I thought Ford is from u.s. are you proud of it??

[@jimwagner5084]

Any transmission problems?

[@grantpierce8091]

Not personally but I've read that all ford CARS have about a 100k-150k mi tranny range on a safe bet. They used the same tranny in the Taurus, and Fusion if that helps you good luck bro!

[@isrealwalters956]

@@kamryn7496 did your VIN have a recall for the trans or did the just replace all of them regardless?
