Miles Overview
The 2012 Focus is Ford's compact car, offered as a sedan or hatchback, and it competes with the Corolla, Civic, and Cruze. It's nimble and fun to drive, with sharp steering and a willing engine that makes it feel more athletic than its rivals. Inside, you get a modern cabin with available MyFord Touch, and the hatchback's cargo area is surprisingly roomy for the class. Some owners have noted occasional transmission hesitation and interior rattles, but many report years of reliable service. The SEL is the mid-level Focus, blending the SE's affordability with the Titanium's nicer touches like ambient lighting and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Its 2.0L I4 makes 160 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, good for 31 mpg combined and a surprisingly eager feel around town. The SEL can be had with the SEL Sport Package, which adds 17-inch alloy wheels and a rear spoiler for a sharper look.
