One of the most popular compacts on the market, the Ford Focus has a sharp, futuristic look that leaves behind old stereotypes of small, affordable American cars. the Focus makes its claim as the technology and fuel-mileage leader in its class.This the most popular 2013 Focus models come with a 2.0-liter engine with direct injection and twin variable valve timing with a 6-speed automatic, with SelectShift manual mode an option. The 2.0-liter engine makes 160 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque.
On the road, the Focus is exceptionally quiet. A lot of productive effort went into making the cabin silent, with luxury-levels of sound insulation practically everywhere, including the doors, windshield, carpet and headliner. Ride quality is smooth and soft. The engine is extremely smooth with plenty of power.
The 2013 Focus uses the MyFord Touch connectivity interface powered by Microsoft's SYNC. The system uses twin high-resolution screens, including an 8-inch touch screen in the center console, to communicate with your car. The driver uses three senses: see, hear, touch. Ford says the system is designed to be simple and completely intuitive for the driver
This Focus shames a lot of more expensive vehicles in the ride department while delivering agile, eager dynamics and great road holding ability (0.88 g). It helps that the five-door’s structure is incredibly rigid, which allows the suspension to be tuned more for body control rather than for mitigating vibrations and chassis flex.
The Focus is easy to drive quickly—and fun, too. Turn-in is crisp, with a mere hint of understeer, at which point you briefly jump out of the throttle to swing the back around and revector the nose. The electrically boosted steering communicates well. It’s hyperaccurate and nicely weighted. The brakes offer great feel and are easy to modulate, turning in a 179-foot 70-to-0-mph test result.
It has stylish looks, five-door practicality, great seats, and all the equipment you need at an agreeable price. The 2013 Focus is one of the best small cars made in that model year. We have loved this car and hope you will enjoy it too.
