Car Profiles - Ford Focus Hatchback

FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK

All the same qualities found in the Focus wrapped in a versatile package. The main difference is that there's no manual transmission and more goodies (including a ST Spoiler) can be had. The catch is 1.6 models are priced similarly to their sedan counterparts. Space is limited at the back and the powershift tranny is jerky for some.

The Good: Agile handler
The Bad: Rear space is cramped

Price Range: P938,000-P1,228,000
