I have heard there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the dual clutch trans in the Fiesta and Focus. More complaints that its operation left much to be desired versus actual malfunctions. That said I am very interested in replacing my 2000 Focus with a new model. My problem is the lack of examples at the dealerships with the manual trans. Does one have to or can one special order a car equipped the way you want it. A salesman at the local Ford dealer told me the days of walking in and setting down with an order sheet, leaving a hefty deposit and ordering the exact car you want is over. The best I can do is let him search surrounding dealers to see if they have any on the lot close to what I want. He told me it wouldn't be easy as very few of the Focus models are being produced with standard trans. Is this true?
