You May Not Like This Car If...

Some more conservative buyers may deem its new looks a bit too radical, but the biggest hurdle the 2012 Focus could face is one of cost. Those willing to forgo a few of the latest tech touches for a l

How it Drives

Built around a stiffer, stronger unit body structure underpinned by a comprehensively retuned and Euro-flavored suspension that brings better damping and roll control plus quick, well-weighted electrically assisted power steering the 2012 Ford Focus feels comfortable, confident and impressively responsive to driver inputs under virtually all conditions. Although stepping up in trim level and the accompanying wheel/tire enhancements does impact ride compliance – particularly with the 18-inch rims and 40-series tires available on Titanium m

"I bought my Focus new thinking I wouldn't have problems with it until I had it for a few years...I was wrong. I had my Focus serviced 14 times in a little over a year, 6 times for cruise control issues, 4 times for door leaks which are still not fixed, the Focus emblem fell off, the fake metal looking panel on the steerling wheel peeled and had to be replaced and in doing so they had to replace my airbag, a "computer update" which was apparently a type of recall on the transmission and finally an oil leak...Ugh!! I knew buying this car the shifting wouldn't be as smooth as any other automatic because its a rebuild transmission from a manual...the car shudders horribily while I'm doing errands in town and rolls back on the slightest hill when stopped which was suppose to be fixed by the computer update. Needless to say I'm NOT happy AT ALL with car. I want to get rid of it sooner than later. The only positive thing I can say about this car is that I get an average 35 MPG (I drive 80 miles a day) and its comformtable to drive. The buttons on the steering wheel makes listening to music easy and the interior is very nice...other than that I would recommending getting a different car."
