The 2012 Ford Focus ranks 2 out of 41 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 41 published reviews and test drives of the Ford Focus, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.The Ford Focus is completely redesigned for the 2012 model year. Reviewers find the Focus’ exterior and interior changes impressive, and also think performance has improved.
The Ford Focus was popular and well-liked when it debuted in 2000, but over time the competition improved, and the Focus lost its appeal. About twelve 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 like the Ford Edge. 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 the Honda Fit and Ford Fiesta.
Reviewers love the changes on the new Ford Focus, and think it's a wise pick for any small car shopper. But there are lot of great cars in the class, and test drivers think it's a good idea check the competition first.
