The cost for the high-end Titanium trimĢ012 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback Specs:īase price: $22,793, $28,022 CAD (Titanium trim).Do they make the Focus a more comfortable and convenient ride? Absolutely.īut for that price tag, you could jump into the all-new (and all gorgeous) Ford Fusion at its mid-level SE trim.
(The same can’t be said of the touch screen though, which doesn’t always have a consistent reaction to your inputs.) The leather-trimmed seats are a nice touch. The voice-activated commands on the MyFord Touch system are quite robust. The amount of technology is seriously upped in the Titanium, with all of the added options. The real changes happen on the inside, however. Grab the SE trim and you’ll be very happy. So, from that point of view, it’s not really worth it. From the outside, this is essentially the same car as the entry trim, save for the wheels and some other minor changes. However, my top-end Titanium trim begins at $28,022 and with all the extras ticked off on the option sheet (including Active Park Assist, Power Moonroof, Heated Leather-trimmed seats and Navigation), the final price sits at $30,859. The hatchback starts at $22,793 (the sedan starts at $18,667) - a decent entry price for a five-door hatch, especially one that boasts a great design and good ride. Price could very well be the biggest story for the Focus. Price could very well be the biggest story for the Focus It’s not a deal breaking point, but it was noticed throughout my week with the car. It made its presence known quite often when I pushed for a bit more power. Plus, handling is a joy – steering is tight with great feedback. Boosting up to speed on the highways was a cinch and puttering around town wasn’t too costly as the Focus sips a reasonable 7.3 L/100 km in the city (5.2 L/100 km on highways). Overall, this setup did more than an adequate job (my tester had the SelectShift trans).

This is paired with a five-speed manual transmission (standard except on the Titanium trim), or Ford’s six-speed dual clutch SelectShift transmission (standard on the Titanium, optional on the other trims). The raked grilled in the front, the stylish arc just before the B-pillar, and the rounded back-end - high fives all around.Īll trim levels get the same 2.0L I4 engine that pushes out 160 HP. That’s a good thing, because with that brings some of the European styling we’ve been deprived of for years from Ford. The Focus is a global vehicle for Ford, meaning this is pretty much the same car you’ll get around the world. So, why is a hit? Well, lets start with design. The third generation Focus will change perceptions though, and it will be no surprise if Ford is making the aforementioned automakers sweat in the next couple years.Īll trim levels get the same 2.0L I4 engine that pushes out 160 HP (Aggressive starting prices from the competition, combined with these models having a consistent hold on the market over the past few years could be reasonable explanations.) Class competitors, including perennial bestseller Honda Civic, as well as the Hyundai Elantra, Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla all have better sales numbers so far this year, but the Focus is holding its own. And the ones that are voiced generally surround Ford’s MyFord Touch system that tends to baffle some, frustrate others and comply with the rest.Ĭommercially, it appears to be doing well. It’s no secret that the latest Ford Focus is a hit.Ĭritically, negative comments are few and far between. For the price of the 2012 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback, you could consider the Ford Fusion in the SE Trim.
