We got a few 2013 Focus on the lot and I noticed a few items:
The speedometer and tach have less hash marks (larger speed and tach increments). The speedo doesn't show every 10 MPH anymore, it goes 20, 40, 60, 80, etc.
The fuel and temp gauges also have larger text. Must of been complaints from older folks not being able to read them.
The auto dimming mirror, rain sensing wipers, and garage door opener built into the sun visor are now gone and no longer available, even on the Titanium model.
The base Titanium rims are now the previous SEL premium package rims. the SE now gets standard previous SE sport package rims. Much better than the hubcaps.
You can't get cloth seats and get fog lamps anymore. I see more SE's with the leather package because of this, and it's the same sew pattern as the Titanium leather. It's lost the uniqueness and options between trim levels, along with the blacked out headlamps from the Titanium on the SE appearance package. Why?
Performance blue is nice looking, pretty much the same as Sonic Blue last year, hint of purple to it.
Do like the standard rear view camera on the Titanium without having to buy the parking package. Also standard remote start that's integrated into the car from the factory is much better.
Driver's knee airbag has been added like the 2013 Escape, but doesn't note it in the order guide or functional descriptions.
LED interior dome lamps are gone, replaced with conventional bulbs
Interior trunk release added to headlamp switch surround.
