"The 2012 model has a cohesive and sleek design... Inside, the Focus looks as well put together as any car in Ford's lineup, with an emphasis on thoughtful but attractive styling and high-quality materials. It's a richer treatment than we've ever seen in the segment..."

-AutoWeek, September 2010


"The all-new 2012 Ford Focus is the first beneficiary of a new class-exclusive Ford technology that employs downhill skiing and snowboarding moves to increase vehicle stability in turns.

Engineered to increase novice driver confidence by adding a finer sense of control in curves, the next-generation Focus will please enthusiast drivers as well with the addition of a vehicle stability control system previously reserved for premium sports cars."
