The Ford Focus Is Newly Designed Just For 2012

The 2012 Ford Focus is positioned #4 of the leading 33 affordable smaller cars available today

, based upon test drives and 24 published reviews. The Focus is completely re-designed for 2012, and thus far the reviews are upbeat and positive. This is because of not only to the wonderful troc to both the exterior and interior, but it is simply more fun to drive.

When it first arrived on the scene back in 2000, the Ford Focus was hugely popular, but its attraction diminished a bit over ensuing years as its competitors made improvements to their cars. At this point, some 11 years later, Ford is convinced its Focus will again become one of the top choices among smaller cars. Ford is conscious of how formidable the competition is, what with vehicles like the Mazda 3, the Chevrolet Cruze and the Honda Fit, but they are confident in the Focus' ability to overtake them. The Focus designed many changes to its interior, introducing a lot of high-tech options. Among the latest features are a rear view camera, a semi-automatic parallel parking system together with their keyless ignition and entry systems.

There is also a new setup of 5-way touch pads on the steering wheel, creating a whole new driver connect technology. You are likely to also appreciate the new 8-inch touch screen that are found on high-end models.

A pair of options, MyKey and MyFord, that exist on other models such as the Ford Edge, now come on the Focus. MyFord is a touch screen console that integrates entertainment, communication and course-plotting. MyKey enables you to establish speed and stereo volume limits for when your teen might be out with the car. An additional exciting characteristic for a car of this group is its torque vectoring control. This adds braking power to the wheels, thereby improving stability, which definitely will be loved by all car enthusiasts.

The automotive industry, too, is fired up by the new look and feel of the Focus. Just like the Ford Fiesta and the Honda Fit, the new Focus happens to be more sporty than the older models. However, the question is if the Focus can survive once the great reviews and all the excitement have faded. No one's certain what will arise with the Focus, there being so many competitors in the small car market. They have three main competitors in terms of features and utility, as well as affordability - The Honda Fit, the Hyundai Elantra and the Chevy Cruze.

Should you be considering buying a Focus, it is best to at least take a look at those three cars before you do. With its hot new design for 2012 and great new features, the Ford Focus is still the best option for many folks. Though not as big as you might prefer, it's definitely among the most affordable.
