I love the Focus, tho it has had its problems I have a 2001 Focus wagon. 300k miles on it. and still runs great I've never had any major problems with it. had the timing belt changed 3 times trans flushed 2 times. and it runs like a champ still. its been very reliable car.. I'm currently shopping around for a good deal on another focus.
Super satisfied with it!

I rarely leave a response, however i did some searching
and wound up here 2012 Ford Focus | Hybrid Cars. And I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Is it simply me or does it give the impression like a few of these responses appear like left by brain dead visitors? And, if you are writing on additional sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you list of all of all your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

What I am waiting for is the 50+mpg Focus 5-Door Hybrid, under $23K. This will be the car that will finally give the prius appliance some competition.

Alan M. of Ford stated it can be done, as it's just putting a Focus 5-Door 'top hat' on the frame, instead of the C-Max hybrid top hat in the same assembly plant.

Hopefully Ford will announce this once the C-MAX is launched in a few months. The C-Max is nice, but everyone don't need a mini van, and the new Fusion as nice as it is, is really too big.

I have two 2012 fleet Focuses (Foci?) (5 door) that regularly turn in 35 to 36 MPG each month. So I bought one for my wife – and the best we have ever seen is 32.5 (4 door). The in-dash is always 1.5 MPG low, so we used fill-to-fill like the old days. Ford dealer says he has seen a couple like mine, most like the fleets, and one that was at 31 until 12,000 miles, then jumped to 35. No realiable answers why ecomony is so scattered. Wife drives 30 miles each way each day to work, freeway all the way, traffic running 70 or so. Any explanations out there? thanks

I would get your car checked out. Either you are a fast driver (although your “green” status indicates otherwise), you’re driving in extreme stop-and-go situations, or your Focus is not performing as it should. The worst gas mileage I’ve gotten is 35 mpg, and topped out at 42, without cruise control. My driving style attempts to maximize my mpg, but you should certainly do better than 21.5 mpg. Good luck.

What is torque vectoring control? Suffice it to say that it uses the car's brakes to apply more force to the inside wheels in a corner, Tech Updates

Medium Size. Europeans should check what suburban driving and open ranges mean. You’re cure little cars I nice for you to run 4 miles to the train station, then ride the train to work. Try a 50 mile ride to the home store to pick up 100lbs of feed, some lumber and pick up the 3 kids on the way home. All while not having to plop down for a second vehicle to haul trash to the dump once a week, tow a trailer, or make a 6 hour cross state trip to see the grandparents….I’ts all about perspective.

Why buy a hybrid or electric car at more than twice the cost of a regular car that is comparable in size and features?

You can buy a lot of gas for the extra $20K you would pay for a hybrid or Volt. Don't make sense to me at all. That's over 150,000 miles at $4 per gallon at 30mpg. So your cost per gallon is higher on hybrids, not to mention the cost of replacing the batteries when they go bad.

But if you are only doing it to join the Hollywood tree hugger save the planet bunch, then please go right ahead. I applaud your convictions.

The number of diesel cars that can be sold per year in the US is limited by the government. Why? Politics and Lobbyists. Most think diesels put out more pollution than gas cars. Gas is cheaper per gallon right now anyway but people don't know that diesels get much better mileage because there is more energy in diesel fuel per gallon than gas. People are dumb.

There is no reason cars should cost $40K+ anyway no matter what the technology which isn't' new BTW. The car manufacturers are just ripping off the planet huggers. Briggs and Straton had the first hybred car back in the '60s. Engine driving a generator charging a battery driving a motor. That's new? No. People being willing to pay twice the cost for it? Yes, that's new.
