@MrCami1234 First learn to fucking spell!! Second, if you need a car that can park itself then you probably shouldn't be driving at all. Although this is Americans I'm talking about, they cant even manage manual drive without getting confused.
too much technology these days.(My touch) But it's a neat car and this engineering will hopefully BURY the hybrid and the electric pieces of garbage out there
@cu29640 thats not gonna be the titanium. the titanium only has that 6 speed powercrap auto.. the 2013 focus ST will have the high performance ecoboost with a good ol 6 speed manual gear box :D
@hartattack940 Well the European Titanium has a smaller Eco Boost and the bi Xenon headlights. Yes the ST will have those and the large Eco Boost. The Dual Clutch Auto on the Focus has been tweaked since initial tests and is as good as the one VW uses in the GTI etc...I have driven both...owned a GTI
@cu29640 Or should I saw the GTI owned me as many times as I was in the service dept for dumb electrical issues. Though I loved the car. A great car trumps any services issues IMO. A great car is not always an expensive car..the public fails to see that which is why you see Land Rovers, FWD Camry Lexus' etc crusing around with drivers who don't know anything about cars.
Never seen such a person make a big issue out of a Comms/Entertainment/Sat NAV issue like this "alleged" reviewer. How picky was he...If he moans about his women like SatNav, I have to ask if he's single. :-)
@adamc260 Ford Focus has been a EU Ford division model for a long time, built and developed in germany, and its been completely different than the car americans knew as the focus. This new Focus has also been mostly developed in germany, in fact, everything except infotainment system was developed by european engineers in EU division of Ford, originally this car was intended to be sold as 3rd generation of Focus , but has become a worldwide model...same as Fiesta and now Fusion(Mondeo)
On another note, I have a 2009 Focus (last generation) and when I sat inside one of these, it was night and day in difference. The build quality in particular, and the premium materials used completely thing I expected out of the Focus. Really impressive, same with the Fiesta
Excellent review. Aside from everything else, you didn't post a misleading 27K price tag in the end. The base price so people know what the trim costs, and the cost of packages which are OPTIONAL, often mistaken for the base price of the car.
Quit nit-picking on the Ford My Touch system - like any technology there is a learning curve - people adapt and get used to the technology very quickly. So it's not Star Trek computer response quick - get over it - it's fast enough.
@dulceypeligroso Completely agree... We are still reviewing the car... And the car is awesome for its class! I have no major problems with my Touch - and whatever occasionally pops up - is completely dealable with. LOL. I just made that word.
Did they turn the asian styling geeks loose on this too?The interior is A NIGHTMARE of STUPID shapes of fittings and controls. The body,front end not even the illusion of A protective (bumper) layer;no protection all that flimsly plastic grill crap is SO vulnerable and just UGLY.

@Mark01gt 38mpg Highway means about 28mpg average. I have a 15 yr old 3.0 V6 getting 26mpg average, and a 95 Honda getting about 28mpg average. Which is why I won't buy a new car unless that start running on water.
This is certainly the Ford Focus - "The Car" that i have been waiting with more than baited breath for !!! Its a bit of a sleeper though by basic appearance and appearances
What a hot looking sport hatch, well done Ford! Can't wait for the 250HP ST Focus to arrive, will lay waste to much of the competition! Definetely considering this car.
He said " This vehicle does not look for parking on the left" but it does. Turn the left turn lights on and it looks on the left. If you have reviewed the vehicle, you should have learned all specifications.
this is not a car for america it's the ford product for europe made in germany but I think it's not the same car because a have a ford focus 2011 and i don't have any problem with it . I think the problem is that you're cars are produced in america but they took the same components from europe and that doesnt fit for amercian roads and for the gas that you have there
I bought the SEL 2 months ago. It has been in the shop at least 4 times now. It has multiple problems - with new ones every time I get it back. I made a video of some of the problems on my channel because Ford is refusing to work with me. At first the problems were cosmetic now there are electrical problems and engine problems
@notreallyhere1022 OMG! Three months ago I bought a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium and it has been in the shop 4 times as well! I am also in the process of making videos since they can't reproduce all the issues at the dealership. My issues are all with the SYNC system. I have reported 10 different issues. They can't fix it. They now have a service message out stating they can't fix it and will be out with a software update sometime in the future. Worst customer service EVER!
@notreallyhere1022 I have always known not to buy a car from the first year run. They all have issues. LEXUS, the pillar of perfection amongst the bland general public, had mojor problems with the first IS and GS300 series products.
@cu29640 agreed we had loads of problems with my son's IS200; suspension, clutch and steering; the engine was OK; but handling and gearbox... so damn average.
My 2000 Ford Focus has been a more reliable better handling car.
The stock Titanium wheels are no good. You really should pay the extra $595 to get the Titanium Handling Package with the 18" five-spoke wheels and sport suspension.
Traded in a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT for the Focus. Obviously quite an adjustment initially. I really like the handling and the tech. Avg about 34 mpg overall. Nice vehicle. Very happy with my purchase.
Um, interior looks cheap, but the gauges aren't bad. $27K is pricey for a Ford. Paid $23k for my '08 Mazdaspeed3 GT, less MPG but tons more fun in every way! Other than having to use premium and mpg, I don't see any other reason to buy a Focus. I'd buy a Prius...when I've lost the passion for fast cars...and gas is $10/gal.
I have to say, after vehicle shopping for the past month and pretty much set on the 5 door Focus, a fully loaded Titanium does NOT come in at 22,500... More like $27,000. A base SE model comes in at 18,200 - 21,000 and the SEL at 20,000 - 25,000. I wish I could find a fully loaded Titanium Focus for 22,500.
I still don't like that there is no manual transmission for the higher level Focus. I got a GTI instead. I liked the car but the manual S version had the cheap cloth that looked good despite the quality. Loved how the car looked inside and out and was considering it. With the GTI I got superior interior, turbo, sunroof,6.7 and 6 speed manual, but no nav or self parking and paid 23800.
This car has so many quality control problems. I just bought one a few weeks ago and it has had so many problems and spend almost 2 weeks in the shop for repairs. The finish of the car inside has so many problems. I made some videos of the problems on my channel
@DevPack I'm not trolling. I bought a race red one 5 weeks ago. I made a video of some of the problems on my channel. I'm getting a lawyer because Ford is refusing to fix some of the problems - saying all of the vehicles are that way
that auto park is a bit silly on this class of car, on a Lexus LS its probably useful cause its a huge car. but this car is tiny, any one who couldnt park this car probably shouldnt have a license.
The reviewer gets it ALL WRONG when he calls the sedan 'dowdy'. I beg to differ; it looks great, like a strong overachiever. (Stop being a twit, Cooley.) The tech features as mentioned--navigation, parking assist--are cool. But seriously...if you can't park a car yourself, or find it too much of a 'hassle' to map out unfamiliar territory in advance, you shouldn't be driving. Ford, you've given America a winner! I love this car. Looking forward to a Focus Sportwagon (hint, hint).
I test drove an SE sedan today and it felt great on power, considering this is not meant to rein in Mustang territory. I find it very refined for the price and the look is polarizing, I agree, but I like it. That should keep gramps from buying it.
Audi nice at ford price. I've had many cars. Skeptical about a ford but this was very nice. Better tranny than my Audi. Less rattles than my mini. More high end power than my tdi. More interior features than my denali, nicer quality interior too. I agree read a map, learn to park save the money. Nice review overall too. Oh and hey Davemoto; you haven't a clue so shut up. That's a direct shut your mouth order.
i test this card today ,very nice,fun to drive ,sound system is nice also..the bad ..is not a quite ride,very loud "engine and road" also very small front and rear... you will need about $30,000 after paper work ,taxes etc..get the new 2012 civic.more room ,very silent ..also better value...
in my opinion the sedan looks better but is still nice and you dont have to get navigation which is dumb to get you can get a garmin or tomtom for 200
@duckbanana12 ... I am renting a Focus sedan, and the first thing I noticed is the trunk opening seems pretty small ... maybe I'm so used to driving a Hatch ... but that $ 500 is well worth it for practicality ...
@AGreedyTree I personally prefer the sedan, but the hatch is a long time sportier vehicle to some people. Also more aerodynamic if you ask some people.
@califa213239 Sedans are more aerodynamic then hatchbacks, that is a fact. However, many people, especially Europeans, like me, prefer hatchbacks. They are sportier.
I got a chance to test drive the new focus se and i liked it not too big on the front bumper though its distracting and not pleasing to the eye. Can u say body kit.I also like the new civic and the mazda 3 both nice the chevy cruze was a good value and looked upscale on the inside but a lil pricey for the upgrades .I think the hyundai elantra is sharp it has the most character it all depends on what you want cant wait for cr reviews ...
I actually have had bad luck with a few other cars i bought a kia sephia in 98 that not only broke down but i ended up saying fu87 it and let it get repoed .And i still have a 2000 chevy impala base in my front yard that i love that has a few issues but nothing major it all depends on how you take care of your ride ay 3000 miles i change the oil at 60000 i change plugs and wires i keep them covered when not driven and take em for maintenance when necessary i detail on the side .
i own three focus models a 2004 a 2008 se and an 07 se i owned a hyundai scoupe at 50000 miles the transmission began to shift erratically the sunroof stopped in the middle and the car was in the shop for many many reasons i traded for my first 04 focus and was so surprised with the way i was treated by ford they actually know me by name and treat my family so well couldnt say the same for hyundai i have never had a problem with any of them except a bad fuel pump on my 07 warranty covered ...
@crazygary69 Loser find a more productive thing to do instead of laughing at a man in a restaurant. Pathetic. Your Channel is full of stupid videos....just like you. LOL
@crazygary69 that car starts at 19k, more power, more looks etc...that proves my point. The Velosper would rape any focus any day, so u are the one that has to learn.
I finally test drove one and you seriousely cannot appreciate how very slick this car is until you are behind the wheel. On a side note the Sync in my test drive car worked great he is just being nitpicky.
the stuff he's complainin about is completely little bullshit stuff.. the car is fully loaded for 24K max... im prob gonna get one on the cheap just for better gas mileage... props to Ford
Great video and great review I like the 5 door layout on pretty much all that have them , I'm 45 and American. Whaaat!? Should've had this version 3-4 years ago.

This car has so many quality control problems. I just bought one a few weeks ago and it has had so many problems and spend almost 2 weeks in the shop for repairs. The finish of the car inside has so many problems. I made some videos of the problems on my channel

@DevPack I'm not trolling. I bought a race red one 5 weeks ago. I made a video of some of the problems on my channel. I'm getting a lawyer because Ford is refusing to fix some of the problems - saying all of the vehicles are that way

that auto park is a bit silly on this class of car, on a Lexus LS its probably useful cause its a huge car. but this car is tiny, any one who couldnt park this car probably shouldnt have a license.

The reviewer gets it ALL WRONG when he calls the sedan 'dowdy'. I beg to differ; it looks great, like a strong overachiever. (Stop being a twit, Cooley.) The tech features as mentioned--navigation, parking assist--are cool. But seriously...if you can't park a car yourself, or find it too much of a 'hassle' to map out unfamiliar territory in advance, you shouldn't be driving. Ford, you've given America a winner! I love this car. Looking forward to a Focus Sportwagon (hint, hint).

I test drove an SE sedan today and it felt great on power, considering this is not meant to rein in Mustang territory. I find it very refined for the price and the look is polarizing, I agree, but I like it. That should keep gramps from buying it.

Audi nice at ford price. I've had many cars. Skeptical about a ford but this was very nice. Better tranny than my Audi. Less rattles than my mini. More high end power than my tdi. More interior features than my denali, nicer quality interior too. I agree read a map, learn to park save the money. Nice review overall too. Oh and hey Davemoto; you haven't a clue so shut up. That's a direct shut your mouth order.

i test this card today ,very nice,fun to drive ,sound system is nice also..the bad ..is not a quite ride,very loud "engine and road" also very small front and rear... you will need about $30,000 after paper work ,taxes etc..get the new 2012 civic.more room ,very silent ..also better value...

in my opinion the sedan looks better but is still nice and you dont have to get navigation which is dumb to get you can get a garmin or tomtom for 200

@duckbanana12 ... I am renting a Focus sedan, and the first thing I noticed is the trunk opening seems pretty small ... maybe I'm so used to driving a Hatch ... but that $ 500 is well worth it for practicality ...
davidhalifax 7 months ago
-$500 for a better looking focus, -$795 if you know how to use a map, -$695 if you know how to drive. theres $1990 you just saved.

@AGreedyTree I personally prefer the sedan, but the hatch is a long time sportier vehicle to some people. Also more aerodynamic if you ask some people.
califa213239 6 months ago
@califa213239 Sedans are more aerodynamic then hatchbacks, that is a fact. However, many people, especially Europeans, like me, prefer hatchbacks. They are sportier.

I got a chance to test drive the new focus se and i liked it not too big on the front bumper though its distracting and not pleasing to the eye. Can u say body kit.I also like the new civic and the mazda 3 both nice the chevy cruze was a good value and looked upscale on the inside but a lil pricey for the upgrades .I think the hyundai elantra is sharp it has the most character it all depends on what you want cant wait for cr reviews ...
