How reliable is the transmission on a Ford Focus?

I'm considering purchasing a Ford Focus, but I've heard mixed reviews about the transmission. Can anyone with personal experience tell me if it's reliable or if I should be worried about potential issues?

I've had my Ford Focus for four years now and I haven't had any problems with the transmission. Just make sure to regularly maintain your car and you should be fine.

I had some issues with my transmission on my Ford Focus, but it was covered under warranty and the dealership fixed it for me. Just make sure to buy from a reputable dealership and get the extended warranty for added peace of mind.

I've had my transmission completely fail on my Ford Focus after two years of owning it. It was an expensive repair, but ever since then it's been running smoothly. Just make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and you should be fine.
