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.
