A delightful compact vehicle is the Ford Focus. It has a slope front design, and many people often say it looks like a roller skate! Yet they aren’t laughing at the fuel economy that it features or at the safety that it provides for such a small vehicle. This vehicle is offered as either a two door coupe or a four door sedan.
The biggest competitor of the Ford Focus is the Toyota Corolla. The first generation of the Ford Focus was offered from 1995 until 2005. This is also when the hatchback design was incorporated. The second generation was from 2005 until 2011. More design changes to the interior and exterior occurred to help entice consumers away from the Toyota Corolla.
The third generation that has been out since 2011 offers a wider body and a better overall design. Improvements to the steering and overall handling have also been noted. Additional safety features including side airbags are encouraging people to take a look at the Ford Focus.
For those that want more power, there is the limited edition Ford Focus ST. It has a turbocharger and it really is surprising to people just how much power this compact vehicle is able to offer. There isn’t much head or extra leg room in the Ford Focus. Consumers that are extremely tall need to really think about this before they buy one. They don’t want to be cramped. Many people find that they can ride well in this vehicle without being uncomfortable if they are average sized.
