Over the course of the Ford Focus’s presence in the market, it has become a household and established name.
Over the course of the Ford Focus’s presence in the market, it has become a household and established name. Known for its upscale and tranquil cabin, the 2016 iteration of the Ford Focus continues rather unchanged from its outgoing model, with the exception of a new Sync 3 technology that improves the infotainment interface.
We recommend buying the Titanium trim of the Ford Focus to get the best value of money. While the Titanium trim is priced $5,000 higher than the mid-level trim, it is the most logical option considering its feature-loaded configuration. Apart from the basic features available with the base- and mid-level trim, the Ford Focus is available with features like cruise control, optional leather upholstery, and several optional safety features.

It records a top speed of 133 MPH, which is the best figure in the competition.

The cabin of the 2016 Ford Focus feels as if it has been borrowed from a car above its class. It is eye-catchy in its design and sophisticated in its layout. While extravagance may not be the key foundation on which the cabin is built, the infotainment system and central gauge screens look striking. The steering-mounted controls add practicality to the cabin, and so do the large number of buttons that surround the display screen.
The seats on offer with Ford Focus are supremely comfortable with adequate bolstering and cushioning, and all upholstery options feel good and supportive. The cabin in itself is quiet and isolates the passengers from the hustle and bustle that goes on outside. The ride quality is nimble and agile, allowing for a comfortable journey. The only drawback we find with the Ford Focus is its cramped rear seats.
