Ford Focus 2016: Does the new car have transmission issues?

Asked by Fiona

Does the 2016 Ford Focus Sport model have the shuddering issues, or was it the earlier models?

Answered by CarsGuide

The shuddering that caused such a flap with the Focus was related to the dual-clutch automatic gearbox that was fitted to earlier models. The 2016 model has a conventional six-speed auto and doesn’t have those issues.
