Few cars in the compact class are as fun to drive as the 2018 Ford Focus. It handles well, its steering is quick and responsive with plenty of feel and its stopping power is impressive. The standard 160-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder in the S and SEL models is strong. If horsepower is less important than fuel economy consider the SE Sedan, which is powered by a turbocharged 1.0-liter 3-cylinder. It makes only 123 horsepower, but gets considerably better mileage than the 2.0-liter, including 40 mpg on the highway. Most will also like the ride delivered by the SE trim, which can be nicely loaded up and still remain well below $ 25,000. The SEL and Titanium bring even more bells and whistles, including larger tires and a sport suspension. The 252-horsepower Focus ST is an impressive piece of work: fast, fun and comfortable. While the 350-horsepower all-wheel-drive Focus RS is nothing short of the new benchmark in the high-performance small-car market.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST An optional feature for just $ 395, this clever system will practically parallel park your Ford Focus for you. After the system identifies an appropriate space, it will do all the steering for you as well as instruct you when to work the pedals and change gears. TITANIUM TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE For $ 795, this optional package is a strong value. It adds automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert, which warns the driver of cars approaching from the side when backing out of a parking space. This package also adds Lane-Keeping Alert, which lets you know when you’re drifting out of your lane.
Front-seat accommodations are spacious, and the Ford’s front seats are well-shaped and supportive. The new 2018 Ford Focus can seat five; unfortunately, the Focus’ rear-seat head- and legroom are now surpassed by a number of competitors. The climate controls and steering-wheel buttons are easy to use, and the blue backlighting is both stylish and easy on the eyes. Interior storage is also well-thought-out, with well-placed cup holders and a small cubby ahead of the shifter that’s perfect for your phone. It even includes a USB port for easy phone charging. The Titanium trim level adds luxuries including a sunroof, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
With a sleek, raked windshield and tastefully flared fenders the well-proportioned Ford Focus sedan is attractive and sporty. But the Focus hatchback is the runway model of the two, with European style and unique taillights that accentuate the width of its rear view. SE and up models all get attractive alloy wheels, with large 17-inch rims on Titanium models. The hot ST model and red-hot RS, also hatchbacks, both wear aerodynamic enhancements that announce their intentions but don’t break out the bullhorn. They look racy but not ridiculous. The Focus Electric is identified by its charge-port door on it left front fender and its lack of a tailpipe.
All new 2018 Ford Focus models come standard with MyKey, a feature that allows owners to limit maximum speed and other settings for young drivers. Other standard features for the Focus S include air conditioning, a tilt/telescoping steering column, keyless remote entry and an AM/FM/CD/MP3 radio. SE models get standard Sync with MyFord Driver Connect, cruise control, a folding rear seat, rearview camera and 16-inch tires on alloy wheels. Titanium models add leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, 10-speaker Sony audio, push-button starting, and Sync 3 with MyFord Touch; Focus Electric models get eco-fabric seat covers and voice-activated navigation.
Ford’s new Focus benefits from several option packages. SE models can be equipped with the Sport Package, which adds exterior styling enhancements, paddle shifters for the automatic transmission, revised suspension settings and 17-inch wheels. Also available are a blind-spot-warning system, a lane-keeping alert system and rear cross-traffic alert. Additionally, Ford's Sync AppLink is available, allowing Focus drivers to interact with more than 60 AppLink-enabled apps on their phones through the car's Sync technology. Active Park Assist, which can practically parallel park the car for you, handling and winter packages, and navigation are also available. The Titanium trim level adds desirable amenities including rear parking sensors.
Most new Ford Focus models use a 160-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic. On the SE with Sport Package and Titanium models, the automated-manual transmission adds SelectShift paddles. To take fuel economy to the next level, the 2018 Ford Focus SE Sedan is equipped with a turbocharged 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine. That model is rated at 40 mpg in highway driving. Focus Electric models get a 143-horsepower permanent-magnet motor and a range of about 75 miles. The 2018 Focus ST uses a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine that makes 252 horsepower and is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, while the RS gets a 350-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine and standard all-wheel drive.1.0-liter turbocharged inline-3 123 horsepower @ 6,350 rpm 148 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 30/40 mpg (manual), 27/38 mpg (automatic) 2.0-liter inline-4 160 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm 146 lb-ft of torque @ 4,450 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/34 mpg (manual), 26/38 mpg (automatic), 27/38 mpg (SelectShift automatic) 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 252 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm 270 lb-ft of torque @ 2,500 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/30 mpg 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 350 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 350 lb-ft of torque @ 3,200 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/25 mpg Synchronous electric motor/generator (Focus EV) 23-kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack 107-kW/143 horsepower 184 lb-ft of torque Projected range on a full charge: 76 miles
A base 2018 Focus S sedan has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting around $ 19,000. Hatchback variants are about $ 2,500 more. The performance-oriented Ford Focus ST hatchback starts around $ 26,000. The all-electric Focus EV hatchback starts right around $ 30,000, while the new RS pushes the price to around $ 42,000. Unlike some electric cars, the Focus EV is available in all 50 states, and incentives can potentially be worth thousands of dollars. Prices on most Focus models are in line with those of rivals such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla sedans, but remain more expensive than base versions of the Kia Forte and Mazda3.

The Focus' resale value has traditionally been fair, but below leaders such as the Subaru Impreza and Honda Civic.
Henry Ford started the company in 1902 with $ 28,000 in cash from twelve investors, among which were John and Horace Dodge, who would later found the Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company. He was 40 years when he first established the company's first factory on Bagley Street, Detroit.
He would later incorporate the firm on June 16, 1903. Ford Motor Company would go on and label their models chronologically in alfabetical order, starting with the Model A to the Model K and Model S, which was Ford's last right-hand steering vehicle. Then, in 1908 Ford introduced the Model T, which was designed by Childe Harold Wills and two Hungarian immigrants, Joseph A. Galamb and Eugene Farkas. This model proved to be of quintessential Ford vehicle, placing the company among the most influential automotive brands in history.
The Ford Model T was reliable, practical and affordable, which made it a big hit in the US, where it was advertised as the middle-class man's vehicle. The car's success compelled Ford to expand his business and layout the basics of mass production principles in 1913 with the introduction of the world's first vehicle assembly line. By 1912, production figures for the Model T alone reached nearly 200,000 units.
This organizational innovation brought in the vehicle construction field allowed Ford to reduce chassis assembly time by as much as 10 hours, dropping from 12 ½ h to 2h 40 min.
Besides ensuring the efficiency of the production process, Ford turned his company into an interactive entity by announcing a new profit-sharing policy. This would grant buyers a cut of profits if sales reached 300,000. As expected, sales effortlessly reached the 300k threshold and went even further to hit a record 501,000 in 1915.
As part of a new set of financial tactics, Ford provided working places for the disabled who otherwise had a hard time finding a job, reduced work shifts and doubled all employee's salaries. Changes like these sparked a tremendous sales increase while also setting the base of modern working conditions.
Still, the US and Canadian market would prove to be too small to fit Ford's plans. By the mid 20's, the Ford label had crossed the ocean and reached England, France, Germany, Denmark, Austria as well as distant Australia. The company's activity on European grounds further helped the brand's revenue growth.
War would not shake the Ford company as bad as other car makers. Post WWI improvements include the introduction of four-wheel brakes and a series of new vehicle releases to match new consumer demands. In 1922 Ford entered the luxury car segment with the acquisition of the Lincoln Motor Company, named after Abraham Lincoln whom Henry Ford admired.
Ford Motor Co. was one of the few big American corporations to survive the Great Depression, although the plummeting automotive sales led the company to scale down its operations and lay off many workers. In May 1929, Ford Motor Co. signed an agreement with the Soviet Union to provide technical assistance until 1938 to construct an integrated automobile-manufacturing plant at Nizhny Novgorod, in exchange for the Soviets purchasing $ 13 million worth of automobiles and parts. Under this agreement many American engineers and skilled auto workers went in 1932 to work on the Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ), or Gorki Automotive Plant. The few who remained in the Soviet Union after the completion of the plant fell victims to Stalin's Great Terror, ending either shot or exiled to Soviet gulags.
With the arrival of WWII Ford increased its influence on the global stage becoming an active player in the war effort, a thing underlined by US President Franklin Roosevelt referring to Detroit as the "Arsenal of Democracy." When the US War Department handed production of B-24 Liberator airplanes to Ford, the output rose to 20 airplanes per day instead of only one per day managed by the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation.
After WWII Ford continued its passenger vehicle operations and in 1955 introduced the iconic Thunderbird model. Then it introduced the Edsel brand in 1958, which proved to be a failure and was dissolved in 1960. Part Edsel's failure as an automotive brand resided in the onset of the 1957 recession in the States and the vehicle's high price tag.
Ford Motor Co. managed to get back up from its Edsel failure with the introduction of the Falcon model in 1960 and the Mustang in 1964. The company's next major step was represented by the formation of Ford Europe division in 1967.
Ford plunged into a state of brand-fatigue that would bring the company to the point of near bankruptcy. Following major sales losses in the 2000's, Ford was pinned against the wall by debts and the imminence of closing down.
Preferring to make it back on its own, Ford mortgaged all of its assets in 2006. As of then, the company has releases a variety of new models both under the Ford brand name and the rest of the sub-brands it owns such as fresher and edgier Mercuries and flashier Lincolns, Ford's luxury division. Business in Europe has also been good for Ford, especially after the introduction of the Focus model in 1997 and although it hasn't fully recovered, it's definitely on the way to regaining popularity.
2018 Ford Focus Consumer Reviews

"Lemon and Ford knows it"
This was a great car when we first purchased it with 3k miles on it as her first car. Then the clutch system/transmission started slipping. It has been in the shop 7-8 times for the same issue. Finally, it is to the point where it slips so badly that she was almost in an accident. As an owner of 5 Ford vehicles for my business, I have been a loyal Ford guy. Ford tells me to just take it back to the dealer for more repairs. When will Ford wake up? When someone's daughter is dead on the side of the road? They knew these clutch systems were bad, thus the BILLION dollar class action suit. Take care of your owners Ford, or this guy is going to Chevy

"Amazing safety features and an overall great car!"
The safety features in this car saved my life in a collision, and I will never buy another vehicle without them. Because of the extensive airbag system, my husband and I walked away from a collision which totaled both vehicles. The FordConnect system alerted 911 and got the rescue process started quickly. We didn't have any of our children in the vehicle at the time of the collision, but based on the placement of their car seats after the vehicle stopped, they would have had minimal impact from the accident, which gives me even more confidence in the vehicle.
I was nervous about buying this car because of all the negative reviews, but I couldn't be happier with this car. I'm sad the car is a loss, but I will be buying a nearly identical replacement in the next few days. I loved everything about this car. Mine was purchased as certified pre-owned so there was plenty of warranty if anything had gone wrong with the car, which it didn't. I drove this car long distances often and was overwhelmingly pleased with the gas mileage. This car was cute enough for me to enjoy driving and sporty enough for my husband to enjoy driving. Despite the negative reviews available, I would absolutely recommend this vehicle.Read less
