Ford focus review

Ford focus review 

The 2012 Focus has an intense side that comes out when you push the start button. It comes with an all-new chassis and suspension that’s tighter and better than ever, and a new cornering assist system that puts the torque where the traction is. 2.0L Ti-VCT I4 engine is all-new for the 2012 Focus. Direct injection provides a cooler, denser more precise charge while our Twin independent Variable Cam Timing self adjusts for efficient performance at low rpm and exhilarating power when you step on it. So you can go green and go quickly. Moreover, what makes Focus so satisfying to drive is its fully engaging available six-speed PowerShift™ automatic transmission, which delivers seamless gear changes and excellent responsiveness.

A brand new interior design with a high-tech look goes with the all-new exterior designs. A completely new MyFord Touch control and display system will be offered on the new Focus, an improvement on the existing Sync system, with either two 4-inch screens, or one 4-inch screen and one 8-inch touch screen, with steering wheel buttons and voice activation to control climate, telephone, entertainment and navigation functions while the driver concentrates on the road ahead. The package includes Bluetooth connectivity, satellite navigation, iPod and MP3 plugs. Other technologies will include a stop/start button for the engine, keyless entry, capless fuel filler, a rearview camera, and an automatic parallel-parking system.
