Reviews for 2012 Ford Focus
High Power, Low Insurance!
The smooth and instant acceleration for jumping on the freeway, out performs my old Camero, but about equal with my old Eclipse. I've always switched car brands at $30,000 but after test driving a lot of other current new brands/models, I'm still shopping because this car doesn't feel like a small engine while equal engines of other makes, make it so obvious. The gas milage is great too! Cosmetically, I also love the white top stitching on seats..... All the chrome the Titanium has, grabs the attention of everyone that gets into my car. The screen is big but doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like my friends luxury cars either. the only reason I don't 5 stars is the city driving acceleration has an occasional flaw...
Pros
- Fuel Economy: City averages 30 mpg - Highway averages the mid 30's mpg
- Ride and Handling: I feel like I have my Eclipse back but now with room for passagers.
- Cargo Space: I went shopping at Home Goods, in one trip: 4 dining (non-folding) chairs, 4 large pic, a night stand and pillows. When I was finished loading, the employee was extremely impressed as he said i should make a youtube video, "what can you fit in your Focus?"
Fun to own, and really fun to drive!
I researched cars for 2 years before buying. I have owned every class of car due to my job providing cars of any make and model. With the basic models being free and the ability to pay for any amount of upgrades. After retirement, and my fixed income I decided that I wanted a car that: had a reasonable price had a reasonable operating cost had parts available everywhere a repair might take place could be repaired by any garage, not just special garages This car met my needs listed.
Pros
- Ride and Handling: As the Ford folks say: It's Fun to Drive!
- Technology and Entertainment: This Model has it all. It even SELF-PARKS at the curb!
- Value: Loaded with all the bells and whistles for a good price.
Cons
- Interior Space: If you have more than 2 people the rear seating leaves one wanting.
- Seat Comfort: My only complaint. I would have more cushion in the drivers seat.
- Cabin Noise: Could be better, but after all, the price was low.
Nice car with a few rough edges.
All things considered I think it is a good car. It's nice looking and rides and handles very well. Fit and finish is very good. However, the auto-transmission is pretty bad. It never seems to be in the right gear and is very slow to respond to throttle input. Ford Sync needs some serious thoughts about utility and usability. The premium stereo has decent bass, but an atrocious mid-range response that rapidly induces ear fatigue at "motivational" volume levels.
Pros
- Ride and Handling: This car is fun to drive and handles more like a sports car than a hatchback.
- Seat Comfort: The cloth seats are very comfortable for long trips.
- Styling: Great attention to design in both interior and exterior. It's a very nice looking car.
Cons
- Power: 160 hp would be plenty but the auto transmission is just horrible. Even in "sport" mode. I wish the 6-speed manual from the ST was an option on this car. It is fantastic by comparison.
- Technology and Entertainment: Ford Sync is can be very annoying. Everything works, but many times, getting there is not fun. The premium stereo is a step up from base, but that's about all you can say. The mid-range is irritating for most music and seems impossible to EQ properly.
- Reliability: The dual-clutch transmissions are reported to fail a lot on these cars. Mine acts weird quite a bit, but so far all Ford has done is reprogram its computer. Weird hesitations, jerking, slipping, that kind of thing in normal driving. Not consistent. Hopefully it will all get resolved under warranty.
