Does the Ford Focus S offer a manual transmission?

I want to buy a reliable used car with a stick shift, but I don’t want to spend too much money. The Ford Focus S looks like it would fit the bill, but I just want to make sure it has a stick as an option. Does the Ford Focus S come with a manual transmission?

If you want to buy a reliable, compact sedan or hatchback, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better option than the
Ford Focus S
. Produced from 2005 to 2018, the Ford Focus S offered a manual transmission on model years ranging from 2005 to 2011.
During this seven-year run, a five-speed manual transmission was the standard on this entry-level trim—only an upgrade to the
Focus SE
would get you an automatic transmission. While it won’t win any awards for speed, the Focus S with a manual transmission can achieve up to 34 mpg on the highway, making it an economical option.
Whether you opt for the smooth-shifting Focus S or a different trim level, use the
