Ford Focus
Wolf Ford Focus STVirtually every trim package has been revised for the 2010 Ford Focus. Ford has decided to offer practically an overhauled version of every model vehicle it makes in the last couple of years. The most pleasing aspect for consumers to consider is the extremely low cost of maintenance, along with minimal initial purchase price. Trim packages available include the S, SE, SEL, and SES. Coupes and sedan body styles are both offered, with only sedans coming in all four trim packages. The basic S package comes with basic power accessories, 15 inch steel wheels, AC, and an optional satellite radio. Available on SE models are a lot more options. For a mid-level trim package, the SE models come with relatively limited options being offered. SEL models come with chrome exterior highlights, complete leather seating, heated mirrors, enhanced suspensions, and optional heated front seats. SES trim packages are offered with 17 inch allow wheels, more enhanced body styling, highway tuned suspension. The only engine offered for the 2010 Ford Focus is the 2.0 liter inline four cylinder that can give 140 horsepower. Most models will receive between 24 mpg city and 35 mpg highway for manual transmission equipped vehicles. Models that have the automatic transmission lose approximate 2 mpg in both city and highway driving.
A unique feature of these vehicles is the ability of parents to set limits for vehicle speed and stereo volume levels. The purpose of these controls is to make teens focus on driving, eliminating most distractions and dangerous activities. For frontal crash test ratings the 2010 Ford Focus received a 4 star rating, while side impact tests received a perfect score. The scores fall in line with most vehicles in the small sedan class.
Possibly the most pleasant aspect of these cars is night time driving. For consumers who only need a budget style small sedan that is more adept at fitting their financial situation than crazy desires, the 2010 Ford Focus will do just fine. Engine performance is probably the most limiting factor of the Focus.
The Ford Focus has a known problem regarding the ignition. The key itself might get stuck in the ignition, or you may have to jiggle the ignition in order to have it turn - a sure sign that you should have a professional replace the ignition. Many consumers feel that the general cause of this ignition switch problem is due to poorly manufactured parts by Ford. The manner in which the Ford Focus ignition communicates with the car's computer is via the Transponder microchip, which is located directly within your car key, so replacing the ignition switch can be a highly complex operation, and is exactly why professional installation is strongly recommended. Ford Focus owners need not despair! Fuel efficiency in the 2010 Ford Focus runs a bit lower than one might expect for such a compact car. The Focus comes in two options: a 2.0L 4-cylinder model with a manual five-speed transmission, and the typical 4-speed automatic. Both models get 24 mpg in city driving. The manual gets 35 mpg on the highway, while the automatic gets 34 mpg. Slow acceleration remains one of the easiest ways to improve fuel economy in any car. For drivers wanting a sharp, small ride with front-wheel drive and moderately good fuel economy, the 2010 Ford Focus offers a good package in either manual or automatic.
