Used Ford Focus for Sale in East Liverpool, OH

I purchases my 2012 Ford Focus in used condition. Upon purchase my car had 15,000 miles on it and was almost like new. I have had few problems with the Focus. I am a single mother of a teenage girl and a ten year old son with autism. I am also an artist and sports mom, so our car is all purpose, from hauling groups of teenagers here and there, traveling with sports teams, we are all over the place, all of the time. My son has issues with behaviors and we have had some instances in the car where he will try to jump out while moving because he is having a meltdown. This is where the child lock feature has come in very handy. I am also truly appreciative of the automatic door lock and window lock control from the driver's seat. It has prevented a few items from flying out the window. The only negatives I have had have been driving in the snow, this car seems much lighter than my last vehicle and has a very difficult time fairing the back roads and especially making it up hills on snowy days. A lot of that had to do with upgrading my tires but there are still certain ways we can't travel in certain road conditions. We also have some trouble in the rain the car seems to hydroplane easily and has a harder time holding its own against the wind on the highways so we tend to veer slightly. I do like the Ford Product I have owned several over the years and they have held up well.

Part of me absolutely loves this car. It's small but roomy, gets great gas mileage, has a room interior, has the ability to become a "sports car" if you put the transmission in sport mode, and has a surprisingly large trunk/hatchback. I love that the back seat is big enough to easily fit all three of my nieces and nephews. I don't like how the Bluetooth system is sometimes glitchy. I like that I can put the car in drive and drive in eco-friendly style, or I can put it in sport mode for a more fun experience. You can also adjust the gears if yourself if you like. Unfortunately, Ford created what could have been an amazing transmission in this car. It's an "automated manual" clutch system. However, the clutch that was originally put in the car did not last very long and becomes very jerky, sometimes even stalling out for a few seconds when accelerating from a stop. I also like that the back window has its own washer fluid and system -- it is very convenient in the dusty summers. The alert system tells you anytime something is wrong with your car too such as "passenger front door open," "low tire pressure," and if you get out of your car and leave it on "engine on."
