Any opinions from any Focus towers out there. How do you like the car? Any issues with towing it?

I've heard about the auto with problems but is it with all years or just some. I would be looking for 2015 thru 2017 used.
They all use the same twin through shaft transmissions and servo clutch so cannot answer that either. It's a electronic issue concerning clutch engagement (it's an automatic with no torque converter but rather a twin plate dry clutch, electronically controlled), why I went with the standard 5 speed and single plate hydraulically activated clutch (on my BIL's recomendation), but then, I prefer a standard transmission anyway.
I will say that I bought mine used, off Red Carpet Lease, from a Ford Dealer and specifically looked for a standard transmission which, actually depreciates more from new because people today want an auto. I got mine off lease with under 23K miles for less than half sticker (11 OTD stickered for 24K). Still under factory warranty and added on the Ford extended warranty an additional 5 years and 80K miles.
