2016 Ford Focus Titanium

The 2016 Focus is Ford's compact hatchback and sedan, competing with the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Volkswagen Golf. The Focus handles corners with enthusiasm, and the ST and RS models deliver serious performance for the class. The ride is composed on most trims, though the sportier versions are firm, which is the price of their handling. Inside, the Focus offers a modern cabin with available SYNC infotainment, and the hatchback provides generous cargo space. Some owners have reported transmission issues, particularly with the automatic, so a manual is worth seeking out. The Titanium trim adds leather upholstery, a Sony audio system, and the SYNC 3 infotainment with an 8-inch touchscreen over the SE. Under the hood is a 2.0L I4 making 160 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic driving the front wheels, and it returns 31 mpg combined. This sedan's ride is a touch firmer than the SE's, but the trade-off is sharper steering response and a more planted feel through corners.
