Seconding the chattering issue on the newer Ford Focii. Drove someone else's every now and then, and it would get a low speed chatter in the tranny. I immediately got skeptical of the whole car, and started nitpicking everything about it. I've had two ford transmissions go out on me for various reasons. That car also had a really bad alignment issue and was highly unstable on the freeway. Extremely twitchy. Did not like it. Think it was a 2013.
I could be talking nonsense though because I'm not sure if it was DCT or not. But, it definitely had weird transmission gremlins. I also have a hard bias against the feel of FWD over AWD or RWD, but will drive a FWD if someone hands me the keys.
