Car Profiles - Ford Focus Sedan

FORD FOCUS SEDAN

Whenever you are in any part of the world, this Focus is the same (previous one had the Europe/Asia and North America separated). Driving feel still remains, which is good. However, there's the tight back row and a powershift transmission which takes time to get used to.

The Good: Fun to drive and handle
The Bad: Cramped rear seat

Price Range: P859,000-P1,218,000
