One of the reasons that the Ford Focus has been a hit is because it comes in a variety of configurations that should fit anyone’s needs. First, you’ll have to make the tough choice between the five-door hatchback models and the sedan. Then you’ll be able to choose the base S in the Sedan, the mid-range SE, the sporty ST, or the range-topping luxurious Titanium in either sedan or hatchback versions. Finally, there’s even an Electric version of the Focus in the five-door style that comes plush with all the luxury features of the Titanium trim.
The base engine on all models save the Electric and the ST is a 2.0L Ti-VCT direct injection four-cylinder that produces an admirable 160 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. This engine can return an amazing EPA-estimated fuel economy of 40 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg in the city when equipped with the SFE package.
The sporty ST trim gets a turbocharged version of the 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder that cranks out a beefy 252 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, which should satisfy even the most lead-footed speed enthusiasts.
Despite the small price tag, the Focus comes packed with features. Even the base S Sedan comes with the Ford SYNC voice-activated, Bluetooth phone and audio interface. The SE Appearance package can be had to add ambient lighting, fog lamps, and leather. A Winter package is available to add heated mirrors and seats, and a navigation system is available on the Titanium trim, as is an automated parallel-parking system.
The Ford Focus is a great option for anyone, without qualifications. This sporty, fun, stylish, and efficient vehicle is the right fit for almost any budget and taste. Visit River View Ford to give the Focus a try, and be sure to contact our Ford dealership if you have any questions.
