Faulty Ford Focus

I purchased Ford Focus via finance last Saturday.

I picked up the car Tuesday and took it back misfiring with the engine management light flashing.

The garage replaced a sensor which took two days. I drove 3 miles and car was doing same as before. They are now replacing the coils.

I have lost my faith in this car, would I be able to swap it for something different at the same garage? Or cancel my finance agreement and go elsewhere?

You have to first give them 3 opportunities to fix it. If the 3rd fails you can reject the car.
