2012 Ford Focus SE Hatchback Manual - Short Take Road Test

Car & Driver 05/16/2011 -- By Erik Johnson
The bottom line, up top: This latest Ford Focus is the best small car for sale in America today. The sedan pummeled four other runabouts in a recent comparison test, a victory made more impressive by the goodness found across a segment historically filled with what could generously be described as “total crap.” The 2012 Focus is so excellent, in fact, that only one small car beats that comparo-winning Focus, and that’s the one tested here: an SE hatchback with a five-speed manual transmission.
