Take a look at this 2012 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback - this is one of our favorite 2012 compact vehicles - what do you think?
"You can forget what you knew about the previous Focus -- the 2012 car is a monumental improvement. Available in four-door sedan and hatchback body styles, the new Focus benefits from eye-catching styling and a sharply designed interior dressed up with high-quality materials. It also comes with a new four-cylinder engine that's more fuel-efficient, and a suspension that delivers both above-average handling and a refined ride." (Edmunds.com)

My mom has an 08 Focus, and it is so far behind the new one! I never thought Id see a Focus with gdi, push-button start, an automated manual transmission, and a touch-screen radio/nav/climate interface. This mew one is just amazing! Its really good to drive with the manual!

@habib077 12 лет назад

Am going to buy this car, this is going to be my first car

@stoikusu5084 2 месяца назад

Yo, did you get the car? I hope you did!

@shsjr2010 12 лет назад

that is one damn good looking Focus, but I would have to leave a lot of the options out because there is no way I would pay anything close to that sticker price because after all, it is still a Focus.

@Jakeman21642 12 лет назад

Just a little something I have noticed these are really popular first cars! My school parking lot is absolutely full of them!

@Pedal2TheMetal 12 лет назад

Wow! I just went to the Ford website and the ST version has 270 ft-lbs of torque!! And 252 HP!!! That thing is going to be quick as hell! I want one! lol

@aaronwright497 4 года назад

Need to show the space on trunk

@achm3d 12 лет назад

the focus sure has come a long way since it came out in 2000. I remember the 2000-2007 Focuses had a bad rep but when it was redesigned in 2008, it improved a lot.

@RealisticMon 4 года назад

We are about to buy one used but it’s in perfect condition! I’m a shorter petit woman haha so this car is perfect. Plus my husband and I travel to see my family a lot! Be great on gas! Perfect space for luggage too!💙

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

New Escape should be here by early next month, you know it'll be at the top of my review list as soon as we get some lol

@buckman2011 12 лет назад

Yes please, I've been looking at the Focus and I really like them, but I haven't really seen any videos of Sedans.

@ravenger17 11 лет назад

Im happy you changed to a tripod set up that you use on the other channel, seems a lot safer!

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

I agree, the looks and features do justify a higher price tag for me

@radbcc 12 лет назад

Wish you had covered the tech features: hands free phone, nav, music, pandora, etc etc... Tech is probably one of the biggest sales points for this car.. thanks

@scottytris 11 лет назад

Best review video I could find, good work. When starting the car do you remember if the gauges roll to the top and back down like other eco sports cars?

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

most issues with the DCT have been fixed, it was mostly the early models that suffered the most issues

@jakeman165 12 лет назад

love it in silver with the 18" 5 spoke rims, and in the hatchback!

@bmwmsport11 12 лет назад

I'm just waiting for the focus ST. This looks nice and is class leading cause it offers auto-park. Chevy, Toyota, hands doesn't have that. Good video

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

Well, a Focus SE would be an excellent choice! Just test drive everything throughout compact car class and you will most likely prefer this the most because of its European feel

@EricAtMazda 12 лет назад

Yep, couldn't turn the stereo off the other day and using bluetooth audio made it impossible to switch between sources on the screen. It's just hopeless, even with the new MFT module.

@oddferkout 12 лет назад

I really like this version of the Focus. Finally the European version of the Focus comes stateside, but it's hard for me to consider a Focus Titanium over a Mazda3... even though they are corporate cousins. I think it's just old Ford still ringing strong in my ears. I do really like it, it's just pricey. Auto-park is nice and unheard of for this price range.

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

we have a couple in stock, did you want to see a tour of a sedan?

@KhrissyDaDon 12 лет назад

I love fords and Lincolns, best Americans cars ever!

@ganthc 12 лет назад

Great review!! I am looking to test drive some Fords, and the Focus SEL and the new Escape are on my list.

@andylt01 12 лет назад

Great vidoes... keep them coming! I really appreciate your attn to detail. Question... Im a brit looking to buy my first car in the US. I have 'around' 20k to spend. what would be your pick? I want something I will love driving as a commuter car.

@nomadic_inflight 12 лет назад

At first, I never liked the new Ford Focus then it got into me. I hope Ford Philippines brings this in soon! Any chance of doing the new Escape yet?

@thatvermontkid13 12 лет назад

I love this car except for the headlights and the gauges... Love the review though!

@occckid123 12 лет назад

wasnt it just last generation cars that fully loaded compacts with leather and navigation was about 20k? 28k for a focus is crazy.

@alexballantine3973 8 лет назад

This car reminds me a lot of the 3rd generation Ford Mondeo which now, it's 4th generation model, shares exactly the same car as the Fusion for you guys and gals in the States.

@LadyGagaBombDotCom 11 лет назад

I don't get why people say the focus is tight on room in the back. I fit and i'm 6'5''! its almost unheard of for someone like me to fit in the backseat of a car comfortably!

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

That is one of my gripes, hopefully Ford fixes that next year, but the 2013 ST has a pretty sick looking exhaust as it should lol but yeah, I was really disappointed that the new ILX has a similar muffler, it better still sound good lol

@benyoucrazy1169 4 года назад

is this car good should i buy it as a first car ??

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

Ive gotten several calls from ppl who are pre-ordering the ST, I want to be one of them lol

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

You could but its unsafe, summer tires dont deal well with cold temps, you need to swap them out for all seasons or winter tires in the winter

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

I think Eric had a lemon, his entire unit was just replaced, its possible it could helped fixed it, but honestly, I think Ford is learning and it wont be long until they completely fix everything

@nicolagreable 12 лет назад

New intro :). Good video.

@SantiagoFigueroaRojo1999 12 лет назад

cool video Sofyan! :)

@jhbombb 12 лет назад

How long has MyFord Touch been out? Two years? Ford should've learned by now. Toyota's Entune is brand new and there's been no problems. Chrysler's new Uconnect has been out for about a year and has been pretty much flawless. Eric's car isn't an exception, it's pretty much the reality (okay, maybe not to that extent). Ford seriously needs to get its shit together with that infotainment system.

@Pedal2TheMetal 12 лет назад

Haha yea the price is a big bummer. I went to the "create your own" thingie and sooner than you know the price crosses 30 grand :/ I guess I'll have to wait a few years till some used ones start popping up so I can find one for a price I can afford lol

@bmwmsport11 12 лет назад

I wish ford put the aston martin bumper on the titanium. I don't think I need a 250hp ST, cause I'm going to use the power and regret it at the pump.

@ijl05 12 лет назад

Is there any problem involved with the dual clutch transmission in 2013 models? I'm curious cuz I hate buying a new car with any major issue. Otherwise, I like anything else. Kinda wish ford put regular automatic or at least have it as available like dodge dart.

@buckman2011 12 лет назад

Are you guys going to get a Titanium Sedan? Just wondering.

@FIVEOFEVER 11 лет назад

CAUTION: If you opt for the 18 inch wheels the tires are rated "summer only"> So you will have to get a set of tires and rims for the winter.

@ianbuen 11 лет назад

which car has bigger space...the ford focus 5door(hatchback) or the 4 door(sedan)??

@rollseboy 11 лет назад

is this car very wide or dose it have a good amount of space to open the doors when you bay park?

@matthew50061 10 лет назад

Is the car to big for 5ft/short people?

@WeThePeople11 12 лет назад

kinda annoying how the music is still there when you start talking in the beginning and the end

@Dark0blivion 11 лет назад

I've noticed quite a few 2012 models with around ~20-25k km on them up for sale. When shopping for this car used, how would you recommend determining if it is an earlier model w/ problems? Or were these solved via software updates that can be applied to older models?

@DanieeReG 6 лет назад

Dark0blivion the main problem is the transmissions. The power-shift is a poor built and has poor quality, they brake with 45-50k ish miles on them and most of them they aren't covered by the warranty.

@spekter901 6 лет назад

How the hell do you keep the radio on?

@kpezpeople 6 лет назад

R u driving with only one hand ?????

@jbar_85 12 лет назад

Yes, the new Ford Focus is amazing, but it's pretty pricey. You do get what you pay for!

@AznfoboiXO 12 лет назад

why are the new cars hiding away their exhausts!! this and now the new acura ILX! even the 2.4 with the MT!! I don't like this direction the companies are heading :(

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

OMG yup! I think a Focus ST is on my list next year with the ST3 package... that car has a price tag just under $30 grand tho 0_0

@jbaaler80 12 лет назад

The driving cam was really bad, I'm not a fan of watching the steering wheel.

@Pedal2TheMetal 12 лет назад

This are very nice cars and all but I wouldnt buy one. But like Jake said, a lot of ppl get this as first cars, theres many of them in my school!

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

Titaniums are pricey for sure, I'd prolly pass on the parking tech package, handling package, and NAVI, and the price is much more reasonable. But Mazda 3s can get this expensive as well fully loaded despite the fact that the focus offers more premium features and has a nicer interior.

@xoquixxoqafxo 12 лет назад

to each their own :)
