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

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

Ford Focus Hatchback - Generation 2.2 (2008-2012)

FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK (2008-2012)

The more sportier Focus can be found in the hatchback sibling, which goes with fabric seats and less items that shout luxury. One big news is that the six-speed manual is swapped to a Powershift transmission. Unlike the sedan's, the hatchback received a single update in July 2010.
