In short: A well-priced and attractive compact sedan.

Since its introduction to the global car market over ten years ago, the Ford Focus has been embraced by auto buyers for its reliability, affordability and fun, sporty demeanor. Although big changes are expected for this small car in 2012, Focus fans who can't wait will still find a solid deal in the 2011 model, which offers high-tech features like MyKey remote keyless entry and the SYNC navigation system.
