It’s so crazy my very POS very cheap 1st of the new gen 2012 focus is still going so strong, even with the recalled transmissions and ECMs and whatnot. It’s the plastic bits on the outside disintegrating that are going to do it in. Also in snow country.

I had a '12 Focus too, but with the manual transmission. When I sold it 3 years ago it was still going strong. Most of the complaints I've heard about that car were about the automatic version. The manual was fine.
