What does this mean? That the European Focus is substantially the same as the one built in the U.S. which in turn looks like the one built in China or Russia (in these countries will be produced this car). Essentially two results: a homogenization of the market, a significant savings because of Ford increasing production of that model costs will compress significantly.
With regard to the initial range to be offered to the Italian drivers, that is the rule of two. There are two versions (Plus and Titanium), two petrol engines (1.6 and 1.6 turbo 125 hp 150 hp) and two turbodiesel too. This is the park and the 115 bhp 1.6-muscular (for performance) 2.0 with 163 hp.
With regard to variations in four-door station wagon and have to wait for the start of the summer. Those who expect the sports three-door version will be disappointed, because, at least for the moment (but never say never) quaestio body type is not within the Ford program: too small a niche for those looking for the bad-looking sedan racing.
The sportier version is available with the petrol engine with 150 hp. Good performance (those declared: 210 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 8.26 seconds and average fuel consumption of 16.7 km / liter) that this car offers. Roomy and comfortable interior with a natural, comfortable riding position.
Everything is under control (the visibility is good) with the controls not only well placed, but intuitive (at last, but this is a feature Ford). The structure is balanced el'avantreno fits well in corners. In tests carried out it seems that the rear does not have anything to complain and usually follows the front wheels.
In short, the Focus is not fooling around. Vehicle for family, safe and reassuring driving does tantrums and easily. Then if you go too far and maybe even wrong, then the large amount of electronic controls makes everything back in place, at least until the laws of gravity do not have the better of the difficulties in Focus.
Going to list the camera is reading the signs that indicate the speed limit and bring him back to the dashboard, there's Esp evolved that realigns the car skidding in gently but with a sure hand. There is also the system that, by vibration on the steering wheel (playstation style) draws attention to the driver if it would be more than the middle and there is also a system which occurs if the deceleration is too strong to avoid or, at worst , minimize the consequences of an accident.
As an option, for the lazy, there is the automatic parking that is integrated with parking radar and a camera back. Among the cool gadgets to mention that which gives the possibility to choose the color of the interior lights. The shades are six, is a bit 'disco, but it's fun! Designed to cover the same space as the previous model, the strategy of a competitive list price will be the trump card for winning this generation Focus.
The range is already the presentation compact, but able to meet the needs of most. The set-up, not forgetting the previous Ford, is well balanced so that the basic version already has a budget that can be defined simply. In the first contact we had with this model the impression that the car is now more organized and as it stands as fittings.
Even the style is more refined style with a refined details of fact because, after all, the line is not particularly original, on the other hand, a world car is going to meet everyone's taste ...
