I have to say that the Focus is one of the worst cars in it's class. I've had the luxury of driving a bunch of compact cars over the last year thanks to work.
Started with a '12 Cruze, '14 Focus, and '14 Sentra.
The Focus was the most cramped, worst fuel economy, most road noise, and some really ****** ergonomics. Cruze was the lowest rent as it was the base model, but even that felt better than the Focus.
I do like the Sentra a lot, honestly. Lots of interior space, well equipped, pretty quiet on the road, and best fuel economy. Only thing I don't like about the Sentra is the 2.5 gallon gas tank that thing has. Christ, I'm filling it up every 2.5 days.

The transmission in the Focus is pretty bad. Four of of the six Focii the other members of the regional staff have had the transmission repaired or replaced at least once.
