Ford Focus Facelift

We've seen the European version, and I can't find the thread. Here's the facelifted sedan. Loads of little changes/refinements.



Notable for the American market - the 1.0T 3cyl from the Fiesta gains an extra gear and makes its way into the Focus.


I'd rock a 1.0 Fiesta or Focus. Especially Focus. Good for probably around 125HP, which is a little down from the 160 from the 2.0, but it's far lighter. Cruze only has 138, and much more weight.

Forte isn't a bad looking car though.

Does it still have the damn computer in the dash?

Forte looks like this.

Pre-facelift didn't look like a Forte.

Tidied up a bit, inside and out, but far from best looking in the class........ and the interior is still a mess. I've driven the 1.0T, and it is a great engine, I can tell you - even if the economy is nothing like as spectacular as the claims (I actually got better results from the old 1.6 litre petrol!).

This facelift is costing a fortune as it has to be tooled up in 8 plants around the world. But then depending on how you count (or cheat with counting in Toyota's case), it is arguably the world's best selling car.

Rear end is better, shouldn't have messed with the front.

I like the interior far better and the sedan looks great from the back view. I really need to see the car in person before commenting on the front end styling. It looks off kilter in photos but I think it could very well be camera angle.
