2017 Ford Focus SEL

The 2017 Focus is Ford's compact car, offered as a sedan or hatchback and competing with the Civic and Corolla. It's a nimble little car that handles city streets with ease, though the ride can feel a bit firm on rough pavement. Inside, the Focus has a clean, simple cabin with supportive seats and a surprisingly roomy back seat for its size. The SEL adds the 2.0L four-cylinder from the SE, plus a six-speed automatic, keyless entry, and a larger touchscreen over the base SE. Its 2.0L I4 makes 160 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic that shifts smoothly, delivering 29 mpg combined in mixed driving.
