The Ford Focus is inexpensive, stylish, practical and fun. It is roomy and has a nice balance between a soft, smooth ride and responsive handling for a compact car.

The Focus comes in four body styles: the ZX3, a three-door hatchback; the ZX4, a four-door sedan; the ZX5, a five-door hatchback; and the ZXW, a wagon. All models but the ZX4 ST come with a 136 hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. They are paired with a five-speed manual transmission or four-speed automatic. The ZX4 ST comes with a 151-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder and five-speed manual. Safety features that come on all Focus models include second-generation front airbags, child safety seat attachments, and child locks on the rear doors.

The Ford Focus is a carryover from 2005.
