2018 Ford Focus SE Sedan Review- Its Just OK!

[@IanTRK]

I got a 2013 Ford Focus, so far it has 143,000 miles still going strong, just got the engine oil changed, no transmission issues and no recalls! It’s really good!

[@LJsGarage]

Heck yeah! Can't beat reliability

[@andymorton6153]

You ain’t crazy bro. Spot on

[@Martythechillgod]

The car is actually quick once you trained the cpu adapt to your driving style. I drive aggressively and the car adapted to it and all shifts and braking became more tight. I have the 2017 se sedan with dct and I love it

[@LJsGarage]

That's good to know! Appreciate the added info ✊🏿

[@abigailf6021]

I just bought this car on November 11th. I love it. I love the black interior and exterior. I’ll be getting the windows tinted (except the front of course) very soon! Nice review. There’s not many (if any) reviews on this specific model in the color black. I’m just having an issue with my audio. It was good in the beginning but I was messing with the settings the other day, the volume doesn’t go past 14.

[@LJsGarage]

Thanks for checking out the vid! And congrats on the new car 👍 that audio issue isn't one I've heard of before :/ might have to go back through the sync settings maybe restore things back to factory

[@pamelac8903]

I bought this car in black over seas and brought it stateside. I absolutely love it. I just took it on a long road trip from Virginia Beach to Texas and back home to Virginia and I have to say it did amazing on the road, the speed was awesome and I only used two and a half tanks of gas... overall Iam happy I got this car!!!

[@LJsGarage]

Awesome Pamela! I am glad its treated you well :)

[@hunterc9168]

Just got one lol, with your comment on the front being more stylish, I bought the Hatchback and absolutely love it, looks slick as a daily

[@LJsGarage]

Heck yeah!! Enjoy and good choice on the hatch 👍🏿

[@hunterc9168]

@@LJsGarage thanks for the reply man!

[@WeekendsOutsideFL]

It is unnerving that sedans are going away. Not only is an affordable vehicle becoming unavailable and being replaced by much more expensive vehicles, but in the future when you have more SUVs than sedans it makes crash safety statistically become unfavorable

[@LJsGarage]

Absolutely agree with you man. I try to tell people this regularly who drive older cars. On top of that even a "cheap" Mitsubishi compact sedan starts at 18k so under 20k for a car is basically gone

[@frankmontez6853]

I looove my 2016 SE 2.0 L GDI engine . It's just awesome . I had an old 06 Sentra and yeah not a fair comparison but sooo much better in soo many ways

[@LJsGarage]

Thats awesome Im glad you enjoy the SE!

[@eldofus1]

I have a 2016 Ford Focus and it’s great!! No transmission problems.

[@LJsGarage]

Awesome! That's good to hear it's a solid car I'll say that for sure. 🙏🏿

[@lynettehaydak2966]

Call a dealership. Give vin number and they will tell you of any recalls or problems

[@BlujBone]

How’s it holding up now!!!!!!!!

[@Martingamgs]

got 2018 have 105k miles on it. upgaded my stereo with tesla style stereo

[@LJsGarage]

Thats all these really need to stay modern!

[@Daniel-ob2ml]

Years later. They still make this car in Europe and China. It is very popular. There is even a larger hatchback in Europe that looks like a station wagon. The Ecoboast sucked. The normal 2.3 fuel injected is great.

[@LJsGarage]

I'm honestly not surprised. It's crazy how different the markets around the world are

[@frankmontez6853]

"ve a 2016 Focus SE 2.0 L GDI engine . Does anyone know why change oil light would come on after only three weeks since I changed it ?? Both national Ford rep and local dealer service rep said it didn't even have this feature .. Anyone have any idea ?

[@ShareJesusMinistries]

You gotta reset it. That’s what I did with mine. After you do your oil change, make sure that you reset the oil light.

[@bigB653]

1st. Why? 2. A Focus owner, I wasnt aware that "You can make it so your speed goes up when you go faster" from the radio! 😂🤣 3. This WOULD be the car you get an exhaust clip from...but shouldn't have bothered, lmao

[@LJsGarage]

Haha to all of those. Oops I meant the sound goes up. Go away!

[@xoulmannn]

0:58 - Ford used to own Aston Martin so I wouldn't be surprised.

[@LJsGarage]

Factsss

[@ShamShammie]

Been looking for cars (I’ve been having way to many problems with my current Chevy Cruze) and I saw one for a used 2018 @ around $8,000 on 62,200 miles…seems good price wise right?. Def will go test drive

[@LJsGarage]

Thats a sweet deal! sorry for the late response

[@C.P.C3719]

I hated that headunit that came with my Focus so I changed it with an 8inch display from 4Dtech.

[@LJsGarage]

Worthwhile upgrade!

[@ceejaehungerford3658]

How has your experience been with your car?

[@C.P.C3719]

@@ceejaehungerford3658 It’s been great. No issues except for minor things, like tail light stopped working so I had to change it with one from Spec-D. I’ve changed out the suspension system with one from KW and Whiteline sway bars. And I’m planning to change the stock wheels with a pair from TSW.

[@luhrunt3956]

I love my 2015 focus however i recently came across some transmission issues and now I have to replace the ton other thann that the engine is a little beasts

[@LJsGarage]

Oh no :/

[@justsid]

Great puns. Got my sub. Thinking of getting one of these. Feeling good about it so far.

[@LJsGarage]

Thanks for the sub! Appreciate the good feedback

[@ceejaehungerford3658]

I am researching cars for my young adult daughter. Since we can receive a family discount if we purhcase a Ford, I have been trying to find one that is reasonably priced, and A to B car w/ some of the features you mentioned. I have researched stats on the reliability of Ford cars and it does rang under 50% and for some reason they are on the higher side of maintence costs. I pretty much felt like giving up on Ford, but then I came accross your video. I will research this more as it seems to fit my daughters needs. She will be moving to Arizona and I want her to have a reliable car. Would you still say this is a reliable car? Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@sugarrhapsody]

My Dad is looking at a 2017 hatchback version for me and I'm wondering the same thing. The class action lawsuits against Ford for the transmission in the cars has me very nervous.

[@LJsGarage]

This car my friend owns and he's had it 5 years nothing but oil changes. A lot of ford's issues tend to be that they focus on the F150 and the Mustang. The economy cars they don't do as much for however the focus is popular in Europe and so it is fairly reliable especially with the non turbo models. Turbo models need a bit more maintenance and care and put strain on certain parts.

[@merveilmeok2416]

Honest man. Good for you.

[@LJsGarage]

Thanks for checking out the video my friend!

[@Maxrc77]

Any of the issues that the past models have had?

[@LJsGarage]

Vibrations from either the motor mounts going bad or rotors warping. That's all I've heard but it's not that common. Overall a reliable little car!

[@GeneralCheezyPr0ductionz]

Transmission

[@dougmusgrove8970]

@@GeneralCheezyPr0ductionz fords transmission always bad, but the 18 is wayyy better then the previous years

[@FlashJonesTrains]

Solid review man ! Thank you!

[@LJsGarage]

Thanks for watching! Hope you find the right car if you're shopping

[@Q_be_thyname]

All tho I don’t see any cupholders

[@LJsGarage]

I think it has them in the door if I recall

[@MichaelGabdiel]

A guy selling this car with a turbo engine anyone?? It has 80,000 miles for 9k dealership

[@LJsGarage]

I'm this market that's a fair deal. It's hard to find cars under 100k miles for under 10 like we used to.

[@pcfcgt]

this is the car I need, just average car for an average working man, no need for bells or whistles.

[@LJsGarage]

Right, sometimes that's all we need in this hectic life filled with tech

[@Wtfpleasehlp]

🤣🤣🤣 I’m high or this shit is funny as hell. How is this not a meme

[@LJsGarage]

haha either way im glad I could get a laugh out of ya

[@lolabombshell8978]

does this car have apple play?

[@LJsGarage]

This one did not :/

[@agpps4usabattlefieldinfini576]

You should have gotten the sel cuz it's the same as my 2017 sedan model
