Hello looking into a 2014 se focus hatch 5 speed manual. Is the motor direct fuel injected and dose the manual suffer the same issues as the Auto reliability wise?

I also, am considering a 2014 manual transmission model with 94K. Did you get the one in your post? Have not seen the manual transmission mentioned as an issue. Will be moving from a 1996 Escort wagon with 355K on it (4th engine in it..darn valve seats) that is consistently getting 33mpg and still in service. Also serves as our RV tow. Will miss the wagon and am concerned about the rear view visibility that will definitely take some getting use to. What's the deal with independently timed camshafts? Think may expect quite the learning curve.
Would really appreciate some feedback, especially on what I should be prepared for with this move to a truly different mode of transport.
Thanks in advance
Linda B
