The new 2012 Focus is already a common sight on Canadian roads. This vehicle evolved significantly during its last overhaul and is available in several different versions (sedan or hatchback). The SEL and Titanium trims offer a hint of luxury, while the S and SE stick to the bare necessities. Its 2.0L 4-cylinder engine gets direct fuel injection to maximize its output. The Focus compact is designed for modern sensibilities!
