Agreed. My Ford Fiesta spent more time in the shop than out, thanks to their shitty design and execution of the DCT transmission.

I wasn't expecting the best car in the world for that price point, but I think 100K without any major problems is a reasonable expectation. I traded it at 70K as I was waiting on the back-ordered third set of clutches.

It's not so much that they had a design flaw, as their ongoing insistence that the problem was me because I didn't understand this whiz-bang new transmission design. 

Um... yeah. I did. I also know what a slipping clutch feels like. Ford. Never again.
