I'm not dead set on the Ford Focus, and I really can't afford the '14 or newer model.

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any better suggestions for a small car?

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm looking to get a used car for my wife and we have been impressed so far with the 2012 Ford Focus Titanium. My only concern is the transmission, it appears that for a lot of people (or enough people online that are loud) that the transmission has been an expensive and even sometimes perhaps a dangerous issue. I'm in the Navy and will be deploying soon and don't want to get my wife a car that is going to have problems. Have the transmission issues been resolved with the latest reflash? Is the car good to go? Thanks in advance, Leo
