2016 Ford Focus Sport REVIEW | Far Better Than You Think
A MID-LIFE MAKEOVER OF THE EURO-BRED FOCUS LAST YEAR SAW FORD REDUCE THE MODEL AND ENGINE LINE-UP.
Upgrades then extended to new technologies, featuring Ford’s latest-generation SYNC2 infotainment system (now upgraded again to SYNC3) and MyKey, with its speed limiting function – ideal for inexperienced drivers
A refined turbo engine and auto transmission, and handling and ride that is right at the top of its segment, makes Ford’s Focus a very appealing buy, and quite a bit better than buyers would seem to realise.
If you’re one of those buyers, spend some time in the Focus… you won’t be disappointed.
