My mom has an 08 Focus, and it is so far behind the new one! I never thought Id see a Focus with gdi, push-button start, an automated manual transmission, and a touch-screen radio/nav/climate interface. This mew one is just amazing! Its really good to drive with the manual!

Am going to buy this car, this is going to be my first car

Yo, did you get the car? I hope you did!

the focus sure has come a long way since it came out in 2000. I remember the 2000-2007 Focuses had a bad rep but when it was redesigned in 2008, it improved a lot.

Just a little something I have noticed these are really popular first cars! My school parking lot is absolutely full of them!

that is one damn good looking Focus, but I would have to leave a lot of the options out because there is no way I would pay anything close to that sticker price because after all, it is still a Focus.

Need to show the space on trunk

Im happy you changed to a tripod set up that you use on the other channel, seems a lot safer!

Great review!! I am looking to test drive some Fords, and the Focus SEL and the new Escape are on my list.

Wow! I just went to the Ford website and the ST version has 270 ft-lbs of torque!! And 252 HP!!! That thing is going to be quick as hell! I want one! lol

Yes please, I've been looking at the Focus and I really like them, but I haven't really seen any videos of Sedans.

New Escape should be here by early next month, you know it'll be at the top of my review list as soon as we get some lol

We are about to buy one used but it’s in perfect condition! I’m a shorter petit woman haha so this car is perfect. Plus my husband and I travel to see my family a lot! Be great on gas! Perfect space for luggage too!💙

Best review video I could find, good work. When starting the car do you remember if the gauges roll to the top and back down like other eco sports cars?

love it in silver with the 18" 5 spoke rims, and in the hatchback!

Great vidoes... keep them coming! I really appreciate your attn to detail. Question... Im a brit looking to buy my first car in the US. I have 'around' 20k to spend. what would be your pick? I want something I will love driving as a commuter car.

New intro :). Good video.

I love fords and Lincolns, best Americans cars ever!

cool video Sofyan! :)

I agree, the looks and features do justify a higher price tag for me

most issues with the DCT have been fixed, it was mostly the early models that suffered the most issues

Yep, couldn't turn the stereo off the other day and using bluetooth audio made it impossible to switch between sources on the screen. It's just hopeless, even with the new MFT module.

Wish you had covered the tech features: hands free phone, nav, music, pandora, etc etc... Tech is probably one of the biggest sales points for this car.. thanks

I really like this version of the Focus. Finally the European version of the Focus comes stateside, but it's hard for me to consider a Focus Titanium over a Mazda3... even though they are corporate cousins. I think it's just old Ford still ringing strong in my ears. I do really like it, it's just pricey. Auto-park is nice and unheard of for this price range.

At first, I never liked the new Ford Focus then it got into me. I hope Ford Philippines brings this in soon! Any chance of doing the new Escape yet?

This car reminds me a lot of the 3rd generation Ford Mondeo which now, it's 4th generation model, shares exactly the same car as the Fusion for you guys and gals in the States.

we have a couple in stock, did you want to see a tour of a sedan?

I'm just waiting for the focus ST. This looks nice and is class leading cause it offers auto-park. Chevy, Toyota, hands doesn't have that. Good video

That is one of my gripes, hopefully Ford fixes that next year, but the 2013 ST has a pretty sick looking exhaust as it should lol but yeah, I was really disappointed that the new ILX has a similar muffler, it better still sound good lol

I love this car except for the headlights and the gauges... Love the review though!

Well, a Focus SE would be an excellent choice! Just test drive everything throughout compact car class and you will most likely prefer this the most because of its European feel

Is there any problem involved with the dual clutch transmission in 2013 models? I'm curious cuz I hate buying a new car with any major issue. Otherwise, I like anything else. Kinda wish ford put regular automatic or at least have it as available like dodge dart.

Ive gotten several calls from ppl who are pre-ordering the ST, I want to be one of them lol

I think Eric had a lemon, his entire unit was just replaced, its possible it could helped fixed it, but honestly, I think Ford is learning and it wont be long until they completely fix everything

Are you guys going to get a Titanium Sedan? Just wondering.

is this car very wide or dose it have a good amount of space to open the doors when you bay park?

I don't get why people say the focus is tight on room in the back. I fit and i'm 6'5''! its almost unheard of for someone like me to fit in the backseat of a car comfortably!

You could but its unsafe, summer tires dont deal well with cold temps, you need to swap them out for all seasons or winter tires in the winter

is this car good should i buy it as a first car ??

which car has bigger space...the ford focus 5door(hatchback) or the 4 door(sedan)??

wasnt it just last generation cars that fully loaded compacts with leather and navigation was about 20k? 28k for a focus is crazy.

I wish ford put the aston martin bumper on the titanium. I don't think I need a 250hp ST, cause I'm going to use the power and regret it at the pump.

I've noticed quite a few 2012 models with around ~20-25k km on them up for sale. When shopping for this car used, how would you recommend determining if it is an earlier model w/ problems? Or were these solved via software updates that can be applied to older models?

Dark0blivion the main problem is the transmissions. The power-shift is a poor built and has poor quality, they brake with 45-50k ish miles on them and most of them they aren't covered by the warranty.

How long has MyFord Touch been out? Two years? Ford should've learned by now. Toyota's Entune is brand new and there's been no problems. Chrysler's new Uconnect has been out for about a year and has been pretty much flawless. Eric's car isn't an exception, it's pretty much the reality (okay, maybe not to that extent). Ford seriously needs to get its shit together with that infotainment system.

CAUTION: If you opt for the 18 inch wheels the tires are rated "summer only"> So you will have to get a set of tires and rims for the winter.

How the hell do you keep the radio on?

OMG yup! I think a Focus ST is on my list next year with the ST3 package... that car has a price tag just under $30 grand tho 0_0

Is the car to big for 5ft/short people?

Haha yea the price is a big bummer. I went to the "create your own" thingie and sooner than you know the price crosses 30 grand :/ I guess I'll have to wait a few years till some used ones start popping up so I can find one for a price I can afford lol

Yes, the new Ford Focus is amazing, but it's pretty pricey. You do get what you pay for!

kinda annoying how the music is still there when you start talking in the beginning and the end

R u driving with only one hand ?????

Titaniums are pricey for sure, I'd prolly pass on the parking tech package, handling package, and NAVI, and the price is much more reasonable. But Mazda 3s can get this expensive as well fully loaded despite the fact that the focus offers more premium features and has a nicer interior.

why are the new cars hiding away their exhausts!! this and now the new acura ILX! even the 2.4 with the MT!! I don't like this direction the companies are heading :(

The driving cam was really bad, I'm not a fan of watching the steering wheel.

to each their own :)

This are very nice cars and all but I wouldnt buy one. But like Jake said, a lot of ppl get this as first cars, theres many of them in my school!

Amazing car.Ford is getting up.The civic and corolla look like shit near this.

I'd still never buy a Ford :p I'm stuck on japanese dependability. I'd buy German before American

you can get a titanium with a stick now

go to my newest videos on my other channel

My apologies, if you visit my new channel 2theredlinellc I will make sure and get a tech video done of just the MFT

Im leaving Honda over this car. Im going for the SEL. SO MUCH better

lol so you'd buy the new Jetta over this first?

Disregard the bird poo on the right side

maybe his car just doesnt like him? lol

this looks really ugly imo, the sedan looks much better
