A rearview camera and Ford's MyKey system (which can be used to set electronic parameters for secondary drivers) are also standard. The Ford Sync system includes an emergency crash notification feature that automatically dials 911 when paired with a compatible cellphone. The 2017 Ford Focus comes standard with antilock brakes (rear drum brakes are standard on the S four-wheel discs are standard for the SE, SEL Titanium and Electric), stability and traction control, a driver knee airbag, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. It comes in all sorts of configurations, and it continues to prove that driving something compact doesn't mean you have to drive something boring. The Bolt is going to be the one to get in this class.įor the regular gas-powered Focus, though, it's still right in the mix of the segment's best. Though the Focus Electric is OK, the 500e is typically less expensive to lease while the Bolt promises more than double the range of most small EVs. It's important to note that the Focus Electric has its own set of rivals, including the 2017 Fiat 500e, the Nissan Leaf and the new 2017 Chevrolet Bolt. Chevrolet's new 2017 Cruze, which is also offered as a hatchback this year, is another solid option. For lots of value, be sure to check out the 2017 Kia Forte that offers a much more upscale driving experience than you'd expect from a car with such a competitive price tag. The 2017 Mazda 3 is enjoyable to drive as well, with a bit more reasonable price and impressive fuel economy numbers of its own. It's faster, more fuel-efficient and just as enjoyable to drive as the Focus, with a bit more room to spare in places such as the backseat and trunk. The 2017 Honda Civic was redesigned just last year, and it's one of our favorites in the class. Of course, the Focus has a lot of competitors, and if we're honest, some of them are just plain awesome. It's one of the more enjoyable cars to drive when it comes to driving around turns, yet it's also suitably quiet and comfortable on the highway. Even if you don't get that feature, though, the Focus will impress you. It's easy to use and is packed with features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. A good example is the Focus' optional Sync 3 infotainment touchscreen interface. The Focus is one of the oldest cars in its class - its last redesign was back in 2012 - but Ford has kept it fresh through the years.
