It's not that common on the early models ether. Majority of foci have auto's. We are the few, the proud, the manual lovers lol.

 

Love havin my 5 speed!

 

Love my 5 speed, automatics are for [][][][]ies lol. I love this car.

 

I got one, when I bought mine it was the only one in Vegas.

still got to cut it down a little.

 

there was a week delay before my focus arrived but it was worth the wait

 

one more here

 

Ever since I drove my 94 Ford Escort, I've been addicted to driving manual. I refuse to own a car that is an automatic transmission. I feel lazy, and that I'm not paying enough attention to the road, the car, and the experience. I also don't let anyone else drive my car, so I have no qualms with putting in a special shifter knob

 

If I had bought my own car I would have chosen manual....I hate this stupid 4spd. However, gramps is not a fan of replacing clutches apparently. Can't say I mind in the LA traffic though .

 

found the only one in my dealership. they didn't even know they had one. manual is the way to go

 

Mine was the only one in the lot, and I am glad to have it. People say they did not know Focuses came in Manual....shows how uncommon it is lol.

 

SES Coupe with a 5sp. ;-) had it shipped from 365mi away.

 

That's more manual trans than I thought, but I would put money on the fact that most of the cars made with em are on here or FJ.

What I was told at the dealer was, "The people who want a Manual trans seek them out, it's very rare that we sell a manual to regular people".





I really wanted an SES but the only way I could get a Manual was with an SE, which is OK I guess cause the color has grown on me and it doesn't come in the SES Tier.

Mine was the only one available in the city and the only other one available in the state of Texas was out in San Antonio, it was a black SE. Heck it never hit the sales lot, I went in and was told it was on a train arriving the next day. I said hide it, and I will see you tomorrow. Next day I owned it with 7 miles on her.

 

i always thought it was because of location also. around here, it's nothing but traffic, so i see nothing but automatic's for sale. now i go down south and they have as many manuals around as auto's while there is usually less traffic.

 

Well I had got mine from San Angelo While in AIT. 36 Miles on her but oh well lol.

 

My 5 speed was the only one on the lot. I drove 2 hours to get it. Well worth it..

 

2 doors and 5 gears [driving] doesnt get much better then that [woot]

 

[facepalm] ahem. 4 doors and 5 gears [wiggle]

 

I have a 5 speed and it's amazing.

I custom ordered mine and picked it

I originally tried to order a 2010 5 speed SES but they ran out of manual transmissions lol

 

Red '08 SES Coupe with a 5M. bought used with 89K miles. Have put 1800 miles on it, and it uses absolutely no oil, and getting 37-40 mpg.

Gotta love those manual trannies vs. the slush boxes. If you know how to drive them, you can get way better mpg and performance than the auto. Plus, where I live the auto is constantly shifting back and forth with a little 4-banger.

 

2dr 5spd, last one i could find at the time and as a plus it was fully loaded with only 12k kms on the clock and i got a wicked deal on it because they were just getting in a new shipment of foci [woot]

 

4 door 5 speed here, when I bought my 09 was one of 3 in the 3 state area that had manual trans. 2 were sold before I got mine so that is how I ended up with a black one. Was supposed to be silver.

 

When I bought mine, the dealership had 60 Foci on the lot, and only 4 were manual. Of the 60, only one of them was black interior/exterior. And it happened to be a manual transmission. It was a match made in heaven.

At that moment, I knew it - I must have that car. And here I am, 7 months and 18,000 miles later. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

 

2010 behbehh! i have myself one slow 5spd :]

 

I wanted a fully loaded SES with a 5 speed. My dealer couldn't find one so I ordered it built at the factory. It was a 6 week wait but well worth it. It was good fun watching the salesman's face when I whipped out my checkbook and paid the car off 100% NO PAYMENTS for me!. The car now has 26,352 miles on it and each day I have fun driving it!

 

Mine literally has every option available except its a manual. The first dealership I went to said there weren't any cars like it within 700 miles. They tried to convince me to buy a automatic sedan because of "resale value" So, I called another dealership around me and they found my car within 20 minutes. I ended up getting a nasty email from the sales lady for buying somewhere else after all the "work" she put in for me. Lmao.

 

I just wish it was a "6" speed, Ford is a little behind the game on this one.

 

Isn't the 2012 a six speed?

 

I love my 2 door 5 speed - I've already put ~20K miles on this car since March and loving every one of them. I'm easily getting 35-36MPG cruising at 75-85mph ~100 miles a day

 

2010 foci with a 5spd 2dr with transmission problems this would mark twice I've had trans problems but its my own fault because I'm a little rough with things but it comes and goes I think I also broke my motor mount driver side

 

WOW! kinda hard to bust a manual transmission!. You must be banging it around a lot!. I picked a 5 speed as I figured the only thing that would break would be the clutch. What do you do to that poor thing?
