Charleston Dealer Has Wide Selection Of The 2012 Ford Focus

Online, January 31, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Ford Focus has undergone a successful redesign for the 2012 model year and is featured at Palmetto Ford, in Charleston, SC. Performance has increased and reviewers are more impressed with exterior and interior features. The new Focus is available in four-door sedan and hatchback body styles, and in four trim levels: S, SE, SEL, and Titanium.

The 2012 Focus has a 2.0-liter inline four cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Entry-level S and SE models come standard with a five-speed manual transmission and SEL and Titanium trims have a six-speed automatic transmission that Ford calls "Powershift." The Focus receives 26 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway with the manual transmission, while receiving 28/38 with the automatic transmission. Edmunds.com refers to the handling of the Focus, "There's very little body roll in corners, while the sharp, communicative steering is a revelation given that it's electrically assisted."

The S model comes with 15-inch steel wheels, keyless entry, air-conditioning, power locks and mirrors, a height-adjustable driver seat, and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and auxiliary audio jack. The SE includes 16-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, front foglights, a rear spoiler on the hatchback, a trip computer, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and Ford's MyKey parental controls. The hatchback has 60/40 split-folding seatback and a removable cargo cover.

The SEL model adds one-touch up/down power windows, multicolor ambient lighting and most of the SE's optional features. The upgraded Titanium model includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, upgraded exterior and interior trim, a rear spoiler (sedan), keyless ignition/entry, MyFord Touch technology with an 8-inch center touchscreen and Wi-Fi capability, and a 10-speaker Sony audio system with satellite radio and HD radio. MyFord Touch and the Sony system are optional on the SEL.
