Summary
Ford Focus is long on style, practicality and fun. The ZX3 hatchback proves economical and practical can also be sporty and fun. The ZX5 hatchback makes it easier for rear seat passengers to join in the merriment. The wagons can carry a ton of cargo. And the SVT brings stellar performance to this class. Clearly, Ford has done some thinking ahead of the curve. The result is a practical, inexpensive car that is actually desirable.
