2012 Ford Focus Test Drive – For years the European version of the Ford Focus has been a top selling car.  But finally for the 2012 model year the Ford Focus that graces our shores is more like the Euro version.  The 2012 Ford Focus may be a car worthy of challenging the Civic and Corolla for the top position in the compact car segment.  The Focus comes in both a sedan (4 doors) and a sedan-hatchback (4 doors and a rear hatch).  The 2012 Ford Focus has great styling and looks ultra aerodynamic when driving down the road.  The base model Ford Focus retails for $16,500 and the top of the line Titanium model goes for $22,700.
The 2012 Ford Focus is powered by a direct injected 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower and 146 lb-ft. of torque.  Fuel economy is 28 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway.
Overall the 2012 Ford Focus has great ergonomics, is very comfortable, and is easy to drive.  The 5-speed manual transmission adds some fun to the car.  The Focus comes with some great features and options for a $20k car.  And of course Ford offers some great Technology packages such as the SYNC system.
