I was never impressed with the base model Focuses--even the older ones. But then again, I'm not impressed with the chrome-loaded ones either.
I do agree that I like the alloy rims over the steel rims. But I may still get a pair of steel rims for winter driving for mine (and some dedicated winter tires for the OEM tires sort of suck ,and I really DON'T care to find out how bad they are in snow because I know it can't be good).
I will say that the new medium stone interior color is a better setup than in the 2008-2011 Focus with the gray, brown and tan color scheme. AT least they got rid of the ugly brown color and went pretty much dark and white (black/gray and white). Looks a little more sporty. Of course, I like charcal black, and that's how I've gotten my past two Focuses.
I have over 7,000 miles on my Titanium Focus. I absolutely love it!!!! Am I getting 37mpg on the highway... well not usually. I tend to go a little faster than the speed limit. Just keeping up with traffic. But this morning I filled up my car in my town, reset the mpg and drove 50 miles to my job. I used the cruse control the entire way. The speed limit is 65 but I had my cruise control set at 67. Here is the result:
and here was the weather ... not important .. but I just love the weather map!!!!

Hey guys! I am just now looking into leasing my first Focus...my question to you is what do you think the best looking options are out right now?! And also, on a lease, is window tinting allowed?!
2012 Ford Focus Titanium TDCi. Photos by Danny Maddox
If anyone is interested, a fellow Ford enthusiast was nice enough to take some photos of the 2012 Ford Focus Titanium TDCi that I've been test driving.

yeah i know...it is quite the disappointment...apparently what the dealer told me is ford is having trouble keeping up with all the orders and they are having trouble producing dashboards...it sure does suck!
REDFOCZ -- Love the way your Sterling Grey Hatch Looks Tinted! I have the same Rims/Model (SE) as you -- Except I have a Sedan.
Anyway - You just confirmed in this picture how much more Awesome my car could look if I got my windows tinted... How dark are your windows (if I may ask).
Can't wait I was told possibly Monday my car would be in. gtncpa... I'm also wondering how you got that weather map? I got everything except navigation. My Droid does a better job than any nav system I've seen. Thanks
That looks awesome REDFOCZ, I prefer those alloys to the standard SELs. But anything over the chintzy looking hub caps the base SEs come with. I wouldnt mind getting SFE hubs for winter rims though
Just found out the official date of when my hatchback will be in and they said the end of september, beginnning of november....only a long time when you think of the actual months :/
I posted these in another thread, but am re-posting to this one to contribute to those out there who are still paging through this thread each day (I know I still do).
Well, it's been a while since anyone's posted in here, so I have a couple more to share:
I guess I should mention that later that night, my Focus was towed from a car lot downtown. Made me mad ! I ended up with the lower front spoiler scratched and some scratches on the left front wheel. Damn tow monkeys don't care if they mess up your car......

That stinks in a major way. They should be liable for the damage but the lawyer would cost you more than the damages since they would never do the right thing without legal action.
