Ford Focus Review 2012



The Ford Focus was completely redesigned for  2012. Reviewers found  the Focus’ exterior and interior changes impressive, and also taught performance had improved.

The Ford Focus was very popular and well-liked when it debuted in 1999, but over time the competition improved, and the Focus lost its appeal. About a dozen years later, Ford has revamped the Focus from the inside out to take on the competition. The interior was one of the first things to change, now featuring more high tech options.

The 2012 Focus gets MyKey and MyFord, two features that are available on other models.. MyFord integrates entertainment, navigation and communication into a touch screen console. MyKey is a safety feature that restricts vehicle speed and stereo volume while your teen drives. The industry is also excited about the Focus’s standard torque vectoring control – a first for a car in this class. Torque vectoring control increases vehicle stability by adding brake force to wheels on one side during turns, and is a great feature for driving enthusiasts.

The Focus also got a lot of exterior updates, and the industry is very pleased with the changes. The newest Focus looks sportier and more aggressive than older models and falls in line with Ford Fiesta.

Reviewers loved the changes on the new Ford Focus, and think its a wise pick for any small car buyer. But there are lot of great cars in the class, and test drivers think its a good idea check the competition first. Other Cars to Consider Among affordable hatchbacks, there’s the Ford Fiesta and the Mazda 3, which are regarded as one of the roomiest and most utilitarian hatches on the market. 

If you’re deciding, the Ford Focus is your best bet if you need one of the best combinations of affordability and utility.

Budget-minded consumers that value performance should test drive the Mazda3, which is also available as a five-door hatchback. The Mazda3 is fun to drive and less expensive than the Focus. This year, the Mazda has new engine with good performance and great fuel economy that everyone will love.
