2012 Ford Focus Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by Nomad5326

Exterior styling
Love the styling. Sporty and agressive. Glad Ford brought over Euro styling.
Only wish is for a grabber style roof rail (ie Volvo XC60) in the rain track. Would alleviate using door grabber roof rack systems.
Maybe come up w/ a "X" version that has AWD, and roof rack sys.
Interior styling
Not bad interior. Seats fit nicely. controls are in the right places. Sync needs work and updates. Would be nice if Sync could just mirror your smartphone even at the base model and be controlled w/steering toggles.
HVAC works nice
Good use of space
Powertrain performance
Avg performance but on par w/peers
Fuel economy
Decent fuel economy. Hitting over 30mpg and occasionaly above 35.
Ride smoothness
Needs work. Still a bit harsh but compares w/peers
Audio & nav systems
Biggest gripe is Ford Sync. Needs upgrades to fully utilize bluetooth for music and any audio output (navigation/news/etc).
Needs the availability to use dication on smartphone to txt.
Quietness
Loud/road noise. Needs better tires and insulation
Cargo capacity
Needs Volvo xc60 style roof rails to better utilize rack systems. Won't detract from lines.
Great buy. Great styling, handling , space and mpg.
