Why YOU Should Purchase the Focus TODAY

In today's society, transportation has become such a substantial part of our lives. We are always traveling, but wouldn't it be nice to feel secure in your car, while looking stylish and having the smoothest drive of your life, all for an affordable price? Well, this is why you should buy a Focus.

1. Features- Features galore. DAB, Bluetooth, sat nav, and full connectivity via Ford’s Sync system, the Focus has all the infotainment you could want. Today technology in our vehicles is important to most buyers and the Focus has you covered. 

2. Economy- Ford has done some great work with improving the economy of its models – and the Focus is a case in point. There’s a wide range of efficient engines, including three-cylinder petrol units that can officially return 60-65mpg, while one Econetic diesel version can manage 83.1mpg. 

3. Pricing- The Focus is now a pretty sophisticated small family car, with standards of styling, kit and materials all more than up to scratch. When buyers see a car of this caliber their jaws drop when they hear the price. Depending on the year, the focus ranges from as low as $5000 to the highest possible $21,000, which when you think about, you are getting the most bang for your buck. 

4. Design- You can ensure you will be stylish but still comfortable while driving a Focus. Ford has revamped the looks of the Focus in a recent series of revisions, which has reinforced the subtle, but effective, styling changes that were unveiled with the launch of this new generation. The interior is said to have great seat positioning so you are able to see the road and blind spots, as well as comfy seats which are made of premium quality material.

2 DOOR
These models were discontinued in 2010 because of the lack of popularity. Two doors are not as convenient and make it difficult to transport passengers. These vehicles were only sold as an automatic and are still around today. Although not the most spacious the biggest selling feature was how fuel efficient they were.
