Ford FocusOverall, it feels cushier than other compacts, both in terms of its comfortable seats and its soft suspension. It's fun to drive, however, with agile handling. It's comfortable on long trips and stable at high speeds. The Focus is among the best of the compacts in terms of ride quality and has been lauded by the enthusiast publications for its handling.
Weird problem been happening lately. When I start it up its fine. But then as soon as I start to back out of my garage it will act like the transmission slips out of gear and the little EXLCLAMATION light comes on. Then I start it back up and everything is fine.
It doesnt happen every time but it does do it at the occasional stop light. I usually have to put it in neutral and rev it a little and then put it into drive.
Always the stupidiest things... somehow the POSITIVE battery cable had gotten a little corrosion around it causing it to not have constant metal on metal contact.
