2012 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour 

I’m 21 and I just bought a brand new 2017 Focus. I love it! It doesn’t have as much power as I would like, but it has quite a bit more than the average compact car.

The best small family car your money can buy, Titanium or the ST. Awesome interior, wrapped in technology and great design.

Damn the Focus has come along way!!

I just bought a 2014 Focus Titanium. They haven't changed much since 2012 -- looks like they didn't really need to. The MyFordTouch system has had a couple of upgrades since then, so mine doesn't quite look like the one in this video -- but I'd imagine that's just software, which could be uploaded to a 2012 or 2013 model easily. And I heard complaints about the PowerShift automated manual transmission in 2012, but none since then, so I'm guessing Ford must've fixed whatever problems those were having. My 2014's PowerShift transmission is excellent, thus far. It's really amazing how well-built it feels, and how NOT cheap it feels. Here in America, we've been so used to car companies cutting corners in their smaller cars, making us think that ALL small cars are cheap and crappy. That perception is going to change if car manufacturers continue to release smaller cars like this one. It's so quiet and luxurious on the inside, it really feels like a much more expensive car. If you're in the market for a new car, and don't absolutely need something large to haul 7 people around, I highly recommend test-driving one of these with the Titanium package.

I drive a 2012 focus titanium very similar to this one but it has the the black and dark red interior which I kinda prefer over the plain white but that's just my prefrence. I love how the car drives it feels smooth and drives very nicely!!

I have one, they are just arrived in Brazil. It's a hell of a car for our standarts... Here it has a 2.0Lt flex fuel (gasoline and/or ethanol) engine (175cv gas or 178cv ethanol). All the rest is pretty much the same, minus the two color tone interior (wich I find a bit over) Great and beautiful car!

For anyone still looking, you should know the rear seats actually lay flat. You have to have to pull up the seat part and then the backs will lay all the way down flat. Lots of room. And the hatchback has more headroom in the back.

Just got this car, video was amazing! Thanks for the detailed review, spot on

Very nice car. I drove a rental Focus from LA to Vegas with my two teenage kids for a weekend and it worked great. The only issue is the back seats are fairly cramped. I wouldn't want to spend much time back there, but it's a great car otherwise.

Best car ever! (in this price)

Looks like a great car. Nice looking inside and out, lots of great features. Only downside is the lack of speed and horsepower, but I think most people won't care about that.

Yep I agree, just picked up my 2012 Mazda 3 sport Skyactiv 2 weeks ago, has everything I need power sunroof, HID's, Leather heated seats/mirrors. Such a great car, my first brand new car and it drives so nice and looks absolutely stunning in person.

i never been big fan of 4 door hatchback but this car look amazing, i would get it!

Over 10 years ago I was thinking of getting another Ford Focus back in 2012 shortly after my car accident. I ended up with a 2011 Mercury Milan. Even in late March 2017 still kind of wanted a Ford Focus as an option but, I went towards a 2015 Ford Escape SE. Now I drive a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black. I used to have a 2005 Ford Focus ZX5 SES trim level. It was a good little car till I was in an accident in early March 2012. I suffered a broken left ankle and about 3 bruises. It is kind of sad there is no more of making that little car anymore. I still liked Ford Fusion and even the C-Max,too.

Ford continues to produce better and better products each year. Keep up the good work Ford!

Excellent review, you did a great job reviewing this car. Thanks it was very helpful.

this is probably the sleekest design for a hatchback that ive seen.

man if this was the tuxedo black with chrome accents it would be EXACTLY how i would get this car

Kyle is always lucky to have awesome songs during his videos.

That line cracked me up "Amazing musical power" lol

Don't know about those rims but the car and the video is awesome!

i hv hatch titanium with all black interior, handling package, sunroof and winter package but didnt opt for parking sensors and navigation. i think the parking stuff are really not needed for those small cars like this and navi is better to use a tomtom or garmin instead of the ford one, i heard thats a bit laggy. the handling package firms the car a bit and cornering is good, engine and the dual clutch are good for in town and the dry clutch dont lose any engine power when shift. no complaints at all for this car. the car is not quick enough tho.if st with a dual clutch, i ll choose it. interior is very good and comfy, but 3 5'11 adults will not fit in the back, the back middle seat is too hard to seat on it. if u r on the trip with 2 large luggages, u can stack them up, but then theres no place for the trunk cover if u hv passenger in the back....

The new Focus is a brilliant automobile. Ford has truly risen from the ashes.

I love the fact that it parks itself

MAN AMERICA, you sure do make great cars. Look at that exhaust... 2:07... SO stylish.

There is a key inside the key fob. You have to take the top part off.

Almost have enough money to buy this pup! I am very glad ford waited to rerelease the hatchback in the US. It's well worth the wait.

This particular Focus Titanium has the Arctic White Interior Style Package. You can also get a Tuscany Red Interior Style Package.

Saw one of these the other day, really caught my eye. Ford is definitely going in the right direction.

I really like the shine of this metallic paint. And I can see a few of the last big Lincolns in the background :).

For 2012 this thing has more technology than my bmw.

Quality walk around of this car. Nice job thanks

My friend has this car. Im not big on fords......but the body role in this thing is almost none!!! Great little car.

This year of car is cheap now time to go buy one

You can find hundreds of reviews that will all tell you the same thing about the driving dynamics, or better yet you can go test drive it yourself for free. These reviews give you much more information than most others do, and show the car in a level of depth that others just don't.

Cool reviews as usual mate... thx for sharing...

Wow what a sweet looking car. A dual clutch transmission too? Nice

I love the rally look of the car.

I bought the Focus Titanium 5 spd manual transmission. EPA rating 26/38. It will get 38 MPG on the freeway with the cruise set at 75 MPH and low 30s MPG in the city. It easily exceeds the EPA ratings for the manual trans. Caveat; You must shift the transmission a lot and keep the engine below 3000 RPMs. If you drive in a more "spirited" manner gas mileage will decrease, of course.

Let's talk about the Transmission 🤣🤣🤣👌

That color is beautiful.

Love your reviews, Guess I'm a fanatic of your reviews.... Can't help myself

I'm not much of a Ford guy, but this looks really nice! I'm very impressed!

love the look with the black wheels

Overall, the Focus-as an economy car- is an excellent value for what you pay and what you get. Excellent quality and sound deadener. The quietest and most comfortable of all my vehicles to ride in, plus premium Sony sound.

Great Video Kyle. I really want this Car now. I have a focus now but it doesnt have anywhere near as many features as this one does. I like the new look of the Focus.

Best reviews i ever seen man!!

It's like a porche design. beautiful!

I like the look of the focus. For me a car needs to look good inside and outside. The front and rear needs to look good too. Lots of cars look great from the front OR the rear but not both.

This car is nice car, i'm learning to drive in the basic version of this car

I sure loved my 2012 Sterling Grey Ford Focus SE 4 Door Sedan with Overdrive. Also, I loved my fiance's 2011 Silver Frost Ford Focus SE 4 Door Sedan, too.

I LOVE those wheels!

I picked up My Australian version 2012 Ford Focus two weeks ago, very similiar but we don't get the 8" screen, other that virtually identical, mine is panther black, so far very impressed with the car, i've done a couple of thousand kilometres in it already and it's a very comfortable, quiet and solid car to commute in, the gearbox seems to always pick the right gear and doesn't hunt about like many of these self shifters do. Good solid car and worth a look if you're after a premium hatch.

Kyle please do a bloopers video, id really enjoy watching that, great review as always by the way :)

Hey everybody how's it going! Today, it's my pleasure to give you an in depth look, At the all new 2012 ford focus titanium hatchback. And this is going to be a full in-depth-tour of the focus, we'll start up show the engine, Get an exhaust clip and go over the performance data, And show you bunch of the features of the interior as well as exterior.

I love your review man! keep it up :'D, i was going for Polo GTi but after watching your video im going to buy this

My dad owns the car now, that’s In the video, it’s in my driveway in SC

Thumb up...good work thnx mate...

Nicely done. very informative and of high quality. keep it up!

That's the same color i want for Ford Focus 2012. Hopefully to get after High School:D

Gotta love Fords new quality levels!

I wish all of Ford's Manuals had Diesel engines.

holy heavy flywheel batman! That thing holds on to revs like grim death.

Great review. I bought a Sterling Gray Titanium hatchback almost identical to this one except for the color upgrade to the leather and auto parking feature and I got the moonroof. Apart from that, they are the same including the wheels which I really like. Even though I've been driving it since March, I learned some new things watching your review. Thanks you much for the time and quality of your review. Best, Andy K.

yea the 2009 to 2011 models but the 2012 have the software update and it runs like a charm i cant wait to get the new 2013 Ford Fusion

I have a 12 same car but manual trans/moon roof/18 “ wheels with handling package. 160k on her and zero problems. I call her my escape pod because she so small. I commute a lot so smart for me. Still only 33mpg. That said i am middle aged so I drive aggressively as she lets at times. I also have a 2010 F150 that is my workhorse around my 8 acres here in Calaveras County CA and my 92 Mustang GT drop top that I am restoring ( no smog test required in my county ) hehehe 351W/C going in the Fox.

the interior of this cars are really nice...

I really like this car.

The turn signals sound like horses walking down the street lol

Gotta love the color and wheels!

That car looks MEANNN.

I like the look of lots of these American fords! I wish the focus would come in 2 tone leather in England! :(

It's nice that the auto park feature is available for $400. It's quite a nice feature, I just wish it is a option for a Chevrolet cruze or even the new 2013 impala.

Blech! That darned push-button start! :P

That was a awesome video. Love the car

The All-New Focus "Drive One."

That is a gorgeous car. I want one... I WANT 1 NAO.

Of course it's pricey if you want all the bells and whistles. Honda did the same thing with the Civic when the Fit was introduced (Civic is no longer the smallest car, so it no longer has the smallest price). If you can "live" without all the extra features, the car is priced really well. The build quality of the car (IMO) is fantastic, the engine with the 5 speed manual is quite a bit of fun, and the sync system works well for me. No need for nav, have it on my phone.

Such an impressive car!! +1 for Ford!

Amazing discription. Very Profetional !!!

2008-2010 Focus Coupe!!!!! do it man!

good video really enjoyed it

I truly love this car!

That is an impressive sound system! It sounds like I am playing music on my computer.

@MrJaxreid You can actually build a Focus with both the premium audio system and Navigation. The premium sound system comes by default with the Ford My Touch system so there's no way to skip that option if you add Navigation. I think it was a website error, I just configurated a 2012 Hatchback on Titanium trim and I got no warnings about getting navigation and premium sound system together.

Muy buen video, que precio tiene este focus

Saabkyle04 - You are the best! Thanks for doing what you do. Your videos are so helpful and informative.

hey sweet u made the video of the same car my grandfather has except his is blue and i have no idea why he doesn't have those rims could you tell me why that is kyle?? My grandfather loves the auto-parelle feature because it helps him because he's been having trouble driving at night his eyes aren't as good anymore. Anyways great job on the video kyle keep up those videos. It's going to be winter soon so stay warm making those videos in the snow.

the panda black and white interior is neat

80's on 8 at 10:23 is all I listen to in the car :D

My other vehicles are -'04 Chevy pick-up 4X4 -'87 Nissan Stanza (junk, but runs) -'65 Mustang restomod -Harley-Davidson Softail -Suzuki DR-Z400 Enduro bike.

Lovely car, would love it! Thanks for the review.

I'm buying one of these as soon as I get back from Afghanistan :-)

Is this duratec engine as well? How come that all duratec engines sounds a bit like the diesel? :) They have that knocking noise on idle? I have the same on my mazda 6. Is this normal?

I want this car with the Maroon seats!

My Neighbors 2012 Ford Focus SE Sport(same wheels) just had one of the two cams seize up and cause a bunch of problems. New crate engine is getting installed.

Just got my Titanium Hatchback over the weekend :)

thats a nice looking car

nice job man

Here in the UK we have the same model, although I dont think that the navigation unit is like that. But I love where the handbrake and gear stick is. Perfect positioning
