That price is insane. I just bought my 5 speed for 16,100 (17.7k otd) which was the lowest I could get any of the dealers to go, and I was working 4 dealers against each other. I actually had 2 of them tell me if I could get the car for that price to buy it because they wouldn't match it.

That's why I sought out a 5 speed, non MFT car.

The majority of 2013s, on this forum, report zero issues. I bought mine in September, 6500mi, and ZERO issues.

I have MFT w/ Nav and DCT. Again, zero issues.

Get what makes you happy and you can live with.

I genuinely want you guys to have 100% trouble free ownership. I bought mine as a commuter and wanted no issues to force me to drive my fun cars for work. There are enough stories here and elsewhere to convince me the best way to do that was to avoid the DCT and MFT. YMMV.

Test drove a couple of focuses today. Was pleasantly surprised by the auto tranny. I'm sure there are real issues but 2013 seemed pretty good. I'm coming from a manny tran so not used to buttery smooth shifts.
