Ford Focus is a perennial favorite choice in compact cars because it combines the most popular features with cutting edge performance technology. This car has something more than a sleek design, it has power where it counts under the hood. It offers something for drivers who want something more from their car.

To begin with, the Ford Focus gives you a choice of 5 different engine and transmission combina-tions. You can choose the 1.0L EcoBoost for the maximum fuel efficiency, or you can choose the 2.3L EcoBoost for the maximum power.

If this is the case, the steering wheel begins to vibrate to alert the driver to take action. 

Ford consistently delivers on quality expectations with its cars, trucks, and SUVs. Buyers might worry about being able to afford a Ford. With the certified pre-owned programs, an option exists to purchase a used Ford model at a reasonable price. Better still, the previously owned vehicle comes with Ford's quality stamp.
